A one-person sales operation can only grow up to a point — a limit set simply by one person’s time and attention. The decision to hire a second rep often gets put off for too long.

Signs the time has come

1. The first rep can no longer serve every active deal on time, visible in a growing response lag
2. New contacts pile up unserved longer than acceptable
3. Revenue growth has stalled — not from lack of demand, but from a service-capacity ceiling

A second rep’s benefit isn’t immediate — the first months are spent learning. But putting off the hire for too long usually loses more revenue than the onboarding period costs.
