What a Sales Rep does
Vetting
Every candidate passes an AI pre-screen and a human interviewer before you meet them. Miss more than two of these and they don't make the shortlist.

FAQ
A Sales Rep runs the full cycle end to end, usually on smaller deals or inbound flow. An AE typically closes larger, longer-cycle deals with an SDR feeding pipeline. Talento matches to whichever shape your motion needs.
For SMB or self-serve upgrades, yes. For enterprise deals with 90-plus day cycles and buying committees, no. Talento decides the split with you at intake.
Seven days from first intake to a placed hire. Shortlist inside 72 hours. If nothing in round one fits, we source another batch on the same window.
If you want to swap the hire or change anything at all in the first 30 days, we handle it. No calls, no forms.
Yes. If most pipeline comes from marketing or product, the Sales Rep spends more time on speed-to-lead and conversion, less on outbound. Same 10-factor screen either way.
