Tips for Founders Sales: Lessons from Starting Two B2B Startups

&quot;Working out of one of their offices side by side is a great way to hear how they talk, what they care about, etc.&quot;<p>I&#x27;ve heard this suggested occasionally, how does this ask usually work? Besides the fact that our clients aren&#x27;t near where we&#x27;re based, it feels socially strange asking to impose on someone&#x27;s office for a day - I must be missing something.

I just launched a bootstrapped B2B product today (also in the recruiting space). I&#x27;ve never sold a thing in my life before, but have suddenly been trying to learn how to be as effective at sales as possible.<p>Today I got some significant interest from a couple of fortune 500 companies and got some serious imposter syndrome. Any advice for dealing with imposter syndrome as a defacto sales leader with zero sales experience?

A lot of these types of posts about B2B assume you are selling a product &gt;$1k... there are lots of B2B that are for less than that and so you can&#x27;t really apply most of these approaches.

These advices are good, though the same can be seen in other articles pulling recommendations together.<p>What would be good to see, are the conclusions and takeaways after applying these. What works for real, what was the combination which lead to the first sale, what is needed for repeatable sales.

I convinced myself to start a B2B business[1] by telling myself that I wouldn&#x27;t need to do this. I&#x27;m pretty sure I was wrong.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;millenniumsoftwaredesign.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;millenniumsoftwaredesign.com&#x2F;</a>

I&#x27;ve always cast a wide net when thinking conceptually about what &quot;sales&quot; is, especially when I was a founder and de-facto lead salesman for years. For the longest I considered sales to be just another flavor of persuasion, and at it&#x27;s very best it&#x27;s almost pedagogical.<p>However now, I think I&#x27;d rather just not be in business than do sales. That&#x27;s really just a recognition that sales is an absolutely necessary part of all businesses, and how terrible I personally find it.

This was published in April 2020, but I&#x27;m guessing it wasn&#x27;t written in the last month:<p>&gt; Spend as much time in person with your prospects as possible. That means demos, as well as conferences, dinners, coffee, whatever you can. This will allow you to build trust, and learn a lot faster about your customer than doing calls or even video calls. Working out of one of their offices side by side is a great way to hear how they talk, what they care about, etc.

Starting two B2B startups is easy and while there&#x27;s lessons to be learned in failing, before reading your advice...one must ask&#x2F;know if you financially succeeded in either via profit&#x2F;exit? Sorry, the title isn&#x27;t clear.
