This Live Better Sell Better Podcast episode throws back to our conversation with Carol Malakasis, former Managing Partner and Head of Training at Rampd and current Envoy at Pavilion. Many founders have awesome ideas but fall short of realizing that a process to sell is fundamental to making a successful business. Carol drills down the top founder mistakes she has seen over the years and how many times it is the founder, not the product, that really matters in the end.
HIGHLIGHT QUOTES
Be strategic because building does NOT make them come - Carol: "The mistake that I see often is that there's this notion of people will come to me, so we need to go through that hump of no, no one's going to come, and now we're both on the same page that no one's going to come, let's talk about how you need to start thinking about your process."
Make founders realize the problem they are solving - Carol: "Get them thinking, what problem am I solving? Who am I solving that problem for? Who are the different players in the space already doing what I'm doing right now? And how am I different or better? And that's when they're like, okay, got it. Because you need to be able to explain what you do to anyone."
