Open serviceGlossary
GTM staffing
A named operator in the sales or marketing seat — on the bench while the role is unproven, on payroll when the evidence is there.
ReadFirst sales hire
The seat between founder-led selling and a motion someone else can run. It fails when an undefined motion is treated as a recruiting problem.
ReadTemp-to-perm sales hiring
A bench operator runs the seat before a permanent req. Conversion follows once the motion and the person have evidence.
ReadExecutive staffing
A CRO, VP, or director in the revenue seat — fractional while the charter is forming, full-time when the company can hold the hire.
ReadEmbedded recruiter
A recruiter on the hiring team through offer, for GTM seats, including passive candidates.
ReadGTM motion
Name the buyer, the deal, and who owns the next stage before a seller is hired into a path copied from another company.
ReadGo-to-market strategy
Useful when it names the next seat: who sells, who generates demand, who leads, and whether they start on the bench or on payroll.
