But I will also tell you that as someone who has helped to start both for-profit companies (like http://www.HubSpot.com) and a non-profit organization (like http://www.BostonScholars.org) that in general (there are many exceptions, probably you) the folks working at nonprofits are nice people who generally are lacking in terms of their use of technology and also frankly their career drive.

Do not take this as a smack against nonprofit folks! I respect them a ton and wish I was at a place in my life where I could take the pay cut and do more to help the world. I have spent countless hours volunteering and starting a nonprofit without any pay at all. And, there is a huge trend in nonprofit towards more measurement and accountability, and that is making the people better over time. Plus, some of the best nonprofits are leaders in the field of inbound marketing and social media, because as you say – they have to be.

But, I guess I am saying that there are enough nonprofit people out there who could not adjust to the corporate world that it might be having an effect on your conversations.

If you are serious about working in the for-profit sector, connect with me on Facebook or Twitter and let’s chat! We’re hiring!
