About this event
Most early-stage founders hit the same wall. Sales gets busy, so they hire a BDR. More activity follows, but not more clarity.
Join OPUS x Jumpstart for a sharper take on early GTM hiring and why the default SDR route often slows you down.
📅 Tuesday 5th May | 11:00AM - 12:00PM GMT📍 Zoom
For founders who:
Want to step back from running every sales callAre frustrated that expensive BDRs are not booking quality meetingsAre building a GTM function from scratch and want to avoid costly mis-hiresNeed someone to think strategically about GTM, not just execute outreach
What you will learn:
Why hiring a BDR too early creates noise instead of insightWhen a Commercial Associate is the better first hireHow to turn early sales chaos into a repeatable, scalable engine
You'll walk away with:
A BDR vs Commercial Associate guide based on 100+ hiresJob description templates to help you get started quickly
Jumpstart has helped 1,000+ startups hire from a pre-vetted pool across Sales, Founder’s Associates, Marketing, and Ops. This is the playbook founders wish they had earlier.
