But what is a sales pipeline and why is it so instrumental to selling success?

To have a successful product launch, you need to craft a thoughtful, actionable, effective go-to-market (GTM) strategy framework.

You might optimize your prices and meet compliance regulations or you might have the best sales tools at your disposal.

Starting to cross the chasm. How does the "D-Day" strategy help companies cross the chasm? Being sales vs. market driven when crossing the chasm. In both cases, the reason we have separate markets is that the customers could not have referenced each other. What is the "Chasm"? A war analogy.

I think that we would probably all agree that there is no one more motivated than the founder in the founder led sales stage to get sales, cross the line, and when it comes to comp design, there’s really no big comp design to be had if the founder’s the one closing the deals.

But that’s more the exception than the rull of the go to market for many companies.

I actually learned the hard way when I was working at a startup company, working a booth at a trade show that, as an engineer, I thought my product would sell itself, but you really do need sales and marketing.
