Startup Selling: Talking Sales with Scott Sambucci

Over the past twenty years, I’ve led three Silicon Valley startups to their first customers and revenue, and sold everything from financial data, enterprise software, and vaporware to cabinet doors, amusement park daily programs, and “would you like fries with that…?” My customers have included the largest financial institutions in the world, top US Universities, cabinet door makers and people that eat at Applebees and go to amusement parks... I’ve learned a lot, and made a few, ahem, well… a lot, of mistakes. Here in The Sales Podcast with Scott Sambucci, I share the lessons learned from my past two decades of selling. In each episode, I discuss a specific topic in selling and sales strategy like how to find new prospective customers, how to manage leads, how to run an effective sales meeting, uncovering customer needs, and developing pricing strategies. Episodes are a mix of guest interviews, observations from the field, and sales techniques that I’m using every single day. And people that care about such things, I’ve written two books, been a TEDx Speaker, been featured on CNBC, The Financial Times and NPR. Oh… I’m also a husband, a dad, and a three-time Ironman triathlete. Build your sales process so that you can have the company you imagine. The Sales Podcast with Scott Sambucci will help you get there.

This is Part 3 our series – First Principles for Startup Founders

 

In this episode, Scott focuses on the principle:

 

“No one cares about your product.”

 

In this episode, Scott talks about a very basic principle that might be one of the most obvious once you hear it, but is often most difficult for many startups to implement.

 

Your prospects only care about the problem that they're dealing with every day, or the priority that they need to achieve. Then, and only then do they care about how your product might be able to help them solve that problem, or how your product might be able to help them achieve that priority.

 

This is a principle you can apply across your sales funnel – from your prospecting and lead gen to your customer success and up-selling.

 

Focus on the problem & priority, not your product.  Because that’s what your prospects do.

 

 

👣 Now, let's talk about YOU and YOUR startup’s journey... 👣
