I'm always saying, “Sound, well-structured business email templates are central to effective sales communication, initiating productive sales conversations, and sustaining relationships with prospects and customers.” Okay, maybe I'm not always saying that — nor have I ever actually said it word-for-word out loud — but it's still an important sentiment.

Why would you need a script for making a cold call? Consider this. You have your list of names and phone numbers. Before the end of the day, you need to make 100 calls. Your sales manager has given your team a big pep talk encouraging you to dial, dial, dial. Imagine how stressful it would be to go into each of these calls blind. Now, imagine what you could accomplish with a script that’s clear and persuasive.

Documents are the backbone of enterprise operations, but they are also a common source of inefficiency. From buried insights to manual handoffs, document-based workflows can quietly stall decision-making and drain resources.

Dear SaaStr: What Should One Do After a Failed Startup? If it “failed” after < 12-24 months or so, and you didn’t raise any or too much money — it doesn’t matter too much. No one will care. And there’s no need to explain yourself, apologize, or feel like a failure. No need. Dust yourself off, and decide if you want to do another one.

Avoid the temptation to hire sales help until you've sold your solution yourself. Get your hands dirty, learn from your mistakes, and refine your process.
