In The Early Days, Don’t Forget To Pay Yourself, Too

SaaStr

When I co-founded my first company, way back in the dark stretch between Web 1.0 and Web 2.0, we got a terrible deal, from a dilution and valuation perspective. Yes, we raised $9m to get the company off the ground, but we had to sell just about everything to pull it off. The trade-off from the VCs? Big Salaries and 100% Vested Stock. We didn’t ask for either, but in their minds, I guess both were pretty cheap things they could do while still maintaining maximum ownership for themselves.

Naturally, excited prospects easily go ghost and become ignorers when contracts come out, so it’s up to you to remedy the anxiety a buyer might feel before you start

Sales Hacker

B2B vs B2C CRMs — let’s break it down. When launching JustReachOut, I created an enticing landing page with product information that helped promote it and convince people to prepay to use it. Doing this helped me secure 10 users into paying $50 to use the platform , and once it was ready, they signed on for a three-month subscription. Because I had found success with the CRM I was using, I decided to use the same software I had built the landing page with as a CRM for my sales efforts sinc

Rethinking Qualification

Qualification is, perhaps, one of the most important factors to our sales success. If we chase the wrong deals, if the opportunity is an “opportunity” only in our dreams and there is little customer commitment to change, if we can’t be competitive–we waste our time and our customers.’ Sadly, most sales people do a terrible job at qualifying.
