Most early-stage B2B companies grow the same way: the founders sell, a handful of clients refer new opportunities inconsistently, and the next stage of growth depends on how many introductions the founders can generate through networking, hustle, and personal credibility. It works—until it doesn’t. After an initial successful launch, the leaders of the company are carrying a lot of weight and the ability to do consistent networking for new business isn't always the top priori

When you’re the founder—or the first sales manager by necessity—you already know how to run a great discovery call. You’ve done it hundreds of times. You hear the subtle signals, ask the right follow-ups, and can sniff out a bad-fit prospect in the first five minutes. Your team? They can’t read your mind.

For many founders, sales started as a personal mission. You knew the problem better than anyone, built the early relationships, and proved the model through sheer conviction.

At Inimity, we meet founders every week who’ve built great businesses — $5M, $10M, even $20M and more in annual revenue — but growth has slowed.

A Chief Revenue Officer (CRO)  in a B2B company is responsible for the end-to-end revenue engine of the business. This title has been popping up more and more since lead generation and go-to-market (GTM) disciplines have significantly advanced, and the lines of responsibility continue to blur between marketing and sales. That blurring is the important part - unlike a traditional VP of Sales, the CRO role is cross-functional: it integrates sales, marketing, customer success,
