betrayawayed555··on Ask HN: Our only salesperson was working for a competitor. Advice?
Tactically we wonder if leaving them at the competitor at this stage is more useful. Let them work their 'magic' for them full time now.

It's possible the other company was unaware. Though, we wonder how. The company has an active social media presence and our sales person did as well where they indicated they worked for us.

Agree regarding sales + outsourcing.

Thanks for the input.

Spoken to the lawyer and their advice roughly matches yours.

It's quite the experience though since we had considered the person quite close and trusted. It feels a little like getting cheated on by a spouse.

A 2nd job is one thing. But one for a competitor with the same customer base is a whole other level.
