Thanks folks! So nice of you to share your feedback.

Sales isn’t magic. It’s just a new muscle, and anyone can learn it. Beware of the hand wavy gurus who try to make it sound mystical. It’s just a craft and you can learn it if you put in the work.

Hey there, my friend Waseem tipped me off to your question.

Your situation is why I wrote Founding Sales: https://www.foundingsales.com/

The full text is available online on that Squarespace site.

I wrote it after selling my last company - it chronicles what I learned going from a PMM / PM at VMware to a business generalist founder, who then had to learn how to sell, and then manage sales people.

Also, this deck will be useful to you: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1pcSy-zV-776abGmZ8WJ7...

Hope that helps!

Came here to suggest this. It has good tactical advice, but also good big-picture strategies. And it will give you vocabulary to talk about experiences you may have had but were not able to fully understand/contextualize.

Sounds very interesting, but if I cannot buy a PDF of it, I am not going to bother.

It seems there is a PDF version of it available, is it the same version? https://www.holloway.com/b/founding-sales

That’s odd. There’s a couple dozen people on the site right now.

What browser are you using? Sounds like maybe a Memberspace issue with a config you have?

Check to see which of these chapters you can access: https://www.foundingsales.com/table-of-contents

I just tested this with a new account and it’s working fine from mobile Chrome. It returns you to the home page on registration so perhaps access one of the chapters? Like this one to start: https://www.foundingsales.com/1-mindset-changes

I have the same isssue. I think it may be a Safari issue. Works fine for me on chrome not Safari.

That’s super annoying. Are you able to access this hyperlink while logged in in safari? https://www.foundingsales.com/10-early-sales-management

It might also be that the redirect after registration goes back to the home page, and the chapter buttons are below the fold if one doesn’t scroll down. Probably would be better to redirect to table of contents after registration. I’ll see if that can be configured through Memberspace.

Looks like it’s an issue Safari being configured to block third party cookies. Memberspace, the registration software we use, cookies you to validate registration. You just have to allow third party cookies: https://help.memberspace.com/article/115-how-to-fix-log-in-i...

Having problems with Firefox + Linux. Works ok on Chrome + Linux.
