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 5 of our series – First Principles for Startup Founders

 

 In this episode, Scott shares why startup founders MUST establish Product-Problem Fit BEFORE they establish a Product-Market Fit product.

 

Most founders I talk with started their company because they saw a big problem in the market or a big gap with the existing solutions.

 

The very first thing we need to do when we’re going out and selling is to make sure that our product solves a problem for our future customers AND to establish what sort of customers to target early in the company’s sales work.



 

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

 

If you're a startup CEO that's on your journey to make the climb to $100mm ARR...

 

If you’re one of those rare breed of founders that’s willing to acknowledge & accept that there are no shortcuts...
