Why B2B Sales Keeps Missing Revenue

Most sales hires fail, not because talent is lacking, but because hiring relies on shortcuts. Resumes, keywords, and surface-level screening ignore what drives performance. That’s why reps get miscast, overlooked, or burned out, and why revenue stalls when it should scale.

The Hidden Costs of Mis-Hiring in B2B Sales

Bad sales hires cost more than just salary. From lost pipeline to delayed revenue, mis-hiring drains time, money, and momentum while reps face recruiter silence and constant churn.

WHY CATALYST

Hiring is Broken, and it's Costing Billions

Founders can’t scale revenue without the right people. Investors lose money when GTM fails. And reps are stuck in a churn cycle.

The result? Billions in lost revenue, missed targets, and a cycle of burnout, churn, and hiring resets that stall growth when it matters most.

We built Catalyst after seeing too many great reps fail in the wrong roles, and too many teams stall because hiring was built on guesswork.
