Not always.

We sell out software to the big banks and we don't have a single salesperson in our team. Everyone call us. The reason for this is that we have been in national newspapers with awesome articles, which is great marketing.

I'm sure we could do even better on the international market with a sales team.

Out of interest, who speaks to them when they call if you don't have a sales team?

We have 3-4 people that take care of that and that works with closing. But sales is not their primary role.
