Comparison
MAVEN vs Hiring a Sales Rep
A sales rep fills a seat. MAVEN builds the machine. Here's how they compare for B2B service firms.
| Factor | MAVEN | Hiring a Rep |
|---|---|---|
| Time to Results | 90 days to full system | 6-12 months to ramp |
| Total Cost (Year 1) | Fixed project investment | £60-100K+ (salary + benefits + tools) |
| What You Get | Complete sales OS + trained team | One person dependent on existing process |
| Risk if It Doesn't Work | You keep the system forever | Severance, rehire, restart from zero |
| Process & Systems | Built and documented for you | Rep has to figure it out alone |
| Scalability | System works with any team size | Need to hire more reps to scale |
| Knowledge Transfer | Full documentation and training | Knowledge walks out the door if they leave |
The Bottom Line
Hiring a rep gives you a person. MAVEN gives you a system that any person can run. The system stays. The results compound. The dependency disappears.
