> maybe consider sales a job for the founders because outsourcing sales requires incentivizing solely by money and your former salesperson’s behavior is the kind of behavior common when money is the sole motivation
If founders took that approach, they'd never hire anyone to do anything. If anything, salespeople are probably less likely to surreptitiously work for competitors than most jobs, because there's generally as much financial upside to doing a job well as doing two jobs badly, they're much more likely to get found out, and companies fire much faster for underperformance (and are much more likely to involve lawyers if they discover someone is moonlighting for their competitor).
Founders should do sales if they're good at sales and like doing it
