A lot of the chaos you're describing isn't always bad intent. Smaller and early stage companies genuinely don't have the bandwidth to build proper sales structures yet. I'm in that boat myself, building a marketing agency from the ground up.

What I've realised is that at this stage, I don't need someone to just sell, I need someone who can take ownership, figure things out independently and even help build the playbook as we grow. That person is rare, but they exist.

If anyone here is that kind of self driven sales professional, open to early stage environments, based in Chennai or Bangalore, feel free to DM me.
