I used to believe that the best founders built a product and then hired someone else to sell it. But I was dead wrong. The truth? The best founders are DEEPLY involved in early-stage sales. In fact: → Founders with commercial experience are 30% more likely to survive. → Startups with commercially experienced founders report 50% higher revenue in their first three years. → 60% of VCs prefer to invest in startups led by founders with a sales background. So why do many founders shy away from selling their own product? When I got involved in every deal, here’s what I noticed: → Increased credibility & trust As a founder, you’re the face of the company. Prospects know they’re dealing with someone with real skin in the game. → Handling the toughest objections You know the product inside and out. That means you can tackle objections like a pro and turn tough questions into deal-closing opportunities. → Faster decision-making As a founder, you’re often the final say in negotiations. Prospects love the attention from you— it helps you close deals faster. Don’t leave sales to someone else. Get in the trenches. You don’t need to be a sales expert to sell your vision—just get involved. Commit to it every day and the results will come. Agree?
