I think Andy would probably agree with you that vision is a component of a "hustler", but does not a hustler make.

I would imagine he would recognize his sales experience as a key component of his start-up value, both in terms of 'stacking cheddar' and also in evaluating the market potential of a product.

The hustler can set the product development vision, but it better be based on a keen understanding of customer need, market readiness, and his team's ability to execute.

I agree, both of you have excellent points. 'Kyt' has a really good point about needing to bring in funding (whether it's your own or others') in addition to being able to make some sales.

Adam, though, you make a really good point of how important a good vision is to sales. A clear vision makes a sale so much easier.
