The document discusses inverting the traditional enterprise sales model by focusing on "DOers" within companies rather than the enterprise as a whole. It advocates using self-service tools and SDKs to allow DOers to use the product themselves before a sales transaction occurs. The goal is to attract DOers by getting out of their way and letting them use the product freely at first, then offering full service sales support after they experience success.
