I'm really curious, how do you define "good"? See my post above.

It's really easy to be a waiter- it's very difficult to herd cats into your funnel.

The last three startups (one is just starting): honest, you can leave the keys to the company with them; not on commission, co-owner of the company; not a big ego; must enjoy the customer contact and the closing of a deal; it is a benefit if they understands the sector well, but not required, depending on complexity of product.
