How to Evaluate a Sales & Revenue
When hiring for a sales & revenue role, look for candidates who have done the specific work your company needs at a similar stage. A sales & revenue who scaled a team from 5 to 50 reps is a different profile than one who managed an existing team of 200.
Ask for concrete metrics: quota attainment history, ramp times for new hires, win rates, pipeline coverage ratios, and net revenue retention where applicable. The best candidates talk in numbers, not narratives.
Check references from peers and direct reports, not just managers. How a sales & revenue is perceived by the people they work alongside and the people they manage tells you more than how they present in interviews.
