> I'd love to just pay someone cash to sell it for me and help me get from zero to one.

I've seen quite a few founders try this, and it normally ends badly.

There are two main drawbacks...

1. The salesperson effectively becomes the CEO. They understand the customers better, have the relationships, and may not get all of this across to you - especially in the event they leave suddenly.

2. If you hire a salesperson without knowing how to sell your product (and some results already), you'll never know if it's your salesperson or your product that is underperforming. And you'll have no idea how to fix it.

I don't know what the best solution for you is, but consider looking into the Mom Test book to help you learn how to get from zero to one by talking to customers. It's a great book, and required (included) reading as part of my S4F course.

Good luck!

I'll check out the book for sure. Good luck with the course.
