Hiring a salesperson vs Pocufy
Should you hire another salesperson or use software?
Should you hire another salesperson or use software?
Hiring adds human capacity: judgement, tone of voice and objection handling — and with it the cost of recruiting, training and eventually replacing. Software takes on the part of the job that repeats every day at a fixed price, and does not take on the judgement. For most teams the right answer is not one or the other but one person working on top of the software.
| The other option | Hiring | Pocufy |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly cost | Salary, commission and benefits | A plan fee |
| Time to first output | Weeks, after hiring and training | The same day |
| Daily capacity | Dozens of personalised emails a day | Whatever your plan limit allows |
| Judgement and objections | Strong | Limited — the final call stays with you |
| Where the knowledge sits | It leaves when they leave | It stays in your account |
| Scaling up | You have to hire again | You upgrade the plan |
Being fair about it
Not all of a salesperson's work can be handed to software. Handling an objection on the phone, building a relationship and reading an ambiguous answer correctly are human work. What software takes over is the research, the list building and the repetition of the first email — which is most of a salesperson's day.
Pick that if:
If your sales are complex, long-running and relationship-led
Common questions
It takes over the research and list building. The team's day goes on conversations that got a reply, not on writing emails.
It will, but leaving it entirely alone is not advised. Staying in approval mode for the first week and reading what goes out is the fastest way to get the message right.
