119: Should Founders Sell Their Product Initially? - Solo Rant

Lately I've heard a lot of people wondering if founders should be the people selling their product initially. There's some concern, especially in the software world, that if a founder is a technical founder, they may not be "born to sell". Garbage. Selling is about formulas and frameworks. I know engineers are great at those. It's just about knowing what to do. In particular I talk about:

• The 3 key reasons why founders should sell when they launch
• Why you may get into trouble early if you don't know what you're doing
• How to ensure you have a proper, professional sales process

This was my first "solo" episode without a guest, but I hope it gives you value learning how the process should work.
