What's the best way to learn sales for a technical founder?
3 comments

Learn sales/marketing theory, do mock sales calls, do live sales calls, reflect on what went well and what went poorly on the calls. Keep improving through more repetitions.

Reading books and mock calls do help but nothing replaces the actual act of having real conversations with real prospects and asking for the sale.

Search for Steli Efti on Youtube - got some brilliant videos on getting started with sales.
I'm reading "Way of the Wolf: Straight Line System" right now. Hope to try out its framework this month
