Little bit of context. I am into user identity verification and software development. Started as solo founder and scaled to 80 engineers in last 9 years.

Being in services and as every other software services company , I wanted to be a product based one.

So we launched a user identity verification platform ( no code way) in 2023.

Bit Ambitious I got a bunch of sales people in house to sell the product ( just to keep in focus). But every sales update meeting I get different reasons for not closing the leads we got.

Got some usual updates like customer is not interested or cannot resonate or market is saturated.

But our competitors were killing it.

Even we worked on the lead quality, but nothing worked.

Finally I fired the entire sales team and we had to sun set the product.

I feel I should not repeat the same in my new product.

So, Any insights or thoughts on how to find the right one or see the qualities in him or her.

Or What should I ask him to prove within certain time realistically to know that he or she is the one.

(Note: I am pure tech founder individually scaled to 2.3 million usd in revenue in last year especially in services)
