As a FinTech Start-Up 🚀, when is it time to hire your first Business Development Manager❓🧐

As with most questions, the answer is subjective and individual to each business, however in general there are a few "options" to Sales and Revenue generation for a start-up 💲

1. Bite the bullet early and hire (invest) an individual able to really build something from scratch (a good "storyteller"), often offering a small slice of the pie
2. At first look to utilise "partnership" and "re-sellers" to piggy back in to your first Sales, giving away a small % of the revenue, but gaining access to a more mature market, then using the generated revenue to hire later
3. Use a commission based "expert" who is sub-contracted to kick-start your sales process. Options include 0 up-front/overhead agreements that are directly/only incentivised by success (but will not "stick around" forever or be 100% dedicated to your brand)
4. All the founders keep slogging it out wearing as many hats for as long as possible in a bid to keep costs low - DIY mentality

What other models have you seen?

Which do you believe is the "best" approach?
