In Revenue Operations (RevOps), the debate over hiring experts in revenue-driving software versus hiring talent with a strong colleague education is intensifying.

As the rate of change in the business world increases, does it really make sense to hire Talent based on education alone?

Can there be a better way?

With over 30,800 SaaS companies (15,000 in the Marketing and Sales Sector alone), the rate at which possible candidates can learn and become experts at these SaaS tools is way faster than the talent can catch up.

Not to mention that possible hires gain zero experience with SaaS during College or an MBA. So, if we run a business on new technologies, why are we hiring people the old way versus the new way?

The Case for Hiring Experts

Traditional colleague education is an outdated business model that can't keep up with the speed and efficiency of the modern world. Platforms like YouTube offer free educational resources that are often more current and practical than what can be learned in a traditional setting.

Consider the sheer number of sales and revenue software launches since 2022 alone. A business professor whose full-time job is to educate simply can't keep up with the rapid advancements in these technologies.

Sales technologies like Apollo.io, SmartLead, and Clay are writing new business playbooks in real time and fostering communities with experts on platforms like Slack. These communities provide immediate support and insights that are invaluable to users.

As a CEO, I NEVER look at a colleague's degree when hiring.

Instead, I prioritize candidates who are proficient with the software technologies we use daily. This practical experience is far more valuable than a traditional education.
