For decades, sellers have been instructed to “find the pain!” We’ve been trained, almost like doctors, to diagnose our customers’ pains; “Does it hurt here? What about when I do this?

My wife chose some beautiful new shrubs and flowers and I was digging the holes to plant them in the garden. The largest shrub required the largest hole and it was to be placed in an area of the garden that I knew was quite rocky.

There are many different types of people you come across in your sales career. Founders are a unique animal, but they aren’t all built the same way. This makes selling to founders a bit more nuanced than other personas. But founders are the final decision-makers at their company — so working directly with founders is a great way to cut through the noise and sell directly to the person who will be signing the check.

I missed my quota. Again. For the third year in a row, I had tanked at my sales job at Salesforce. This was 2016, the year I almost quit sales. I decided to get help instead. I reached out to mentors, hired a coach, and took a rigorous sales training course. It worked. The following year, I was the company’s top seller. The year after that, I went from selling $1.3 million in annual recurring revenue to over $5 million annually.
