Sales Turnover At Anyvision

By: John Honovich, Published on Feb 13, 2019

Anyvision raised a $43 million Series A and according to their newest investor:

what you need to do is push the gas pedal and build an organization which can monetize and take on this opportunity to grow massively

Anyvision is hiring 'massively', at least for security / video surveillance industry standards. However, the company is also already experiencing significant sales turnover.

In this note, based on an interview with Anyvision's CEO and discussions with various Anyvision sales team members, we examine the turnover and the potential problems for the company.
