🥇 Our favorite partner stories
Heute unterstützt hyrise Tech-Unternehmen dabei, ihre zwei größten Herausforderungen beim Aufbau starker Sales-Teams zu lösen: großartige Sales-Today, hyrise helps tech companies tackle their two biggest challenges in building great sales teams: hiring and training great sales talent.
Over the past year, we’ve expanded our training to stay cutting-edge and broadened our recruiting offering to cover all seniority levels. There really is no better partner in Germany when it comes to building high-performance sales teams.
Here are our favourite success stories👇
gastromatic: From 3 inbound leads to 50+ inbound & outbound
One of our favorite training stories this year is gastromatic. What started as inbound-only Sales quickly evolved into a structured, outbound-driven setup once the team partnered with hyrise and rolled out continuous, external training across Sales. The results?
- 50+ qualified demos per month (up from 3–5 inbound-only)
- AE conversion rate increased to 45%
- Nearly 30% increase in MRR performance
- 4.91 / 5 team satisfaction score
SoSafe: 18 Sales Hires and Counting
One of our favourite recruiting stories is SoSafe. Facing rapid growth and high-volume hiring needs, they partnered with hyrise to build a strong, scalable Sales team. Over two years, we supported SoSafe in hiring and enabling 18 high-potential Sales professionals, many of whom went on to progress into Corporate SDR, AE, Corporate AE, and Enterprise AE roles, with some even reaching President’s Club and leadership positions. Together, this laid the foundation for a high-performing go-to-market team.
❤️ Our favorite candidate stories
We believe everybody deserves a career they love. And we work hard to make it happen.
Being part of hyrise means seeing real impact up close. Every day, we watch people use tech sales as a springboard into more fulfilling careers and better lives.
Those stories are what fuel us. Here are some that stood out to us this year 👇
Sezer Özsoy
Sezer is one of our favorite hyrise stories. After a sudden SaaS layoff, he bounced back fast, landing a Senior AE role at Famly in just 3 weeks. Today, he owns the full sales cycle in DACH, helps shape sales strategy, and works on a product with real social impact.
Before that? Years of enterprise hardware sales, a bold jump into SaaS, and the resilience to turn a setback into a comeback.
Katharina Mittler
Katharina is one of those stories that shows what’s possible when you’re brave enough to start over. After years in sports, coaching, and NGO work, she made a bold career switch into tech Sales with no prior experience. In under a year, she went from total beginner to Business Development Team Lead, earning her first promotion after just 8 months!
Today, she leads a team, consistently beats targets, and most importantly, has found real purpose in her work.
✨ Team-Highlights
When we started hyrise, we set out to build a culture and environment where people thrive personally and professionally. A place where people genuinely enjoy working.
This year, the team raised the bar again. It’s hard to describe culture in words, so we’ll let the photos do the talking.
Remote doesn’t have to mean distant. These moments made us feel closer than ever.
Building a remote culture where people are close is challenging.
Through shared values, trust, and daily moments of joy our team feels closer than ever.
😎 What’s next for hyrise?
We’re entering 2026 with momentum: we’ve become one of the leading voices in tech sales in Germany, both our recruiting and training products show traction, satisfaction is high, and the team is energized around clear goals.
Sales careers continue to offer strong prospects in the age of AI. As markets grow more complex, the ability to guide decisions, build trust, and sell consultatively becomes more valuabl, not less. AI reduces busywork; it doesn’t replace human judgment.
Our core goal for 2026 remains clear: to place and train as many people as possible to high satisfaction. And we’re keeping our long-term ambition front and center
❤️ Place and train 20,000 people by 2030.
🤯 Become the leader for recruiting and training sales talent in EU and US.
🤘 Create a remote workplace where people love to work and thrive personally and professionally.
Bring it on 2026.
Onwards! 🚀
