The Challenge: Desire to Build a High-Performance Sales Team
Kentech is a fast-growing company that could never build its team quickly enough with high-caliber candidates. They needed more world-class teammates to keep up with growth but required help to fill positions in a shallow talent pool with high salaries.
Salaries are exceptionally high in major cities in the US. They would have to raise prices on customers substantially if they were to hire everyone locally. Kentech has hired overseas before, but they always struggled finding great talent and with the time zone and culture differences.
Kentech was excited at the prospect of finding quality talent closer to home with Jules.
The Solution: Jules' Scaled a Sales & Marketing Team
Kentech reached out to Jules to help because they had heard about affordable and talented salespeople in Argentina and Colombia. Jules specializes in the Latin American market and has a lot of experience placing top sales and marketing talent in fast-growing US-based service businesses.
Jules helped Kentech hire three Sales Development Representatives to start. They were so impressed with the quality they returned for more sales and marketing hires. These ranged from junior hires with a few years of experience to senior hires with many years of experience. By hiring in Latin America, Kentech was able to scale their sales team quickly and save almost half a million a year in salaries.
