Ongoing PMF Success
How Product-Market-Fit affects sales
and insights from a salesperson’s
perspective.
Salesperson’s Angle to PMF
15. I. It hinders your ability to learn
II. Good ones expect Predictable Success,not risks
III. They can’t understandthe market as well as you do
IV. They’re not good at biz-dev, at iterating and building
V. They won’t produce better results w/o a formula
Early Sales Hire Pitfalls
16. Sales Team = Scale. Too
many companies hit the
”Scale Button” too early.
Don’t.
What To Do Instead?
I. Use external help (consulting,mastermind group...)
II. Hire a part time biz-dev from your target market
III. Build the right board / advisory groups
IV. Go through a sales for startups or other course
17. Fall In Love with the Problem
Not your Solution

19. Customers buy ONLY when your solution is a Must Have,
Now, against Alternatives and the Investment.
Want vs Need
20. Ask Yourself
Am I Targeting A Widely Agreed
Urgent Problem?
Am I Targeting A Real Problem That Costs
Money, Prevents Gains And Creates Risk?
Is This Problem Hard To Solve
In Other Ways?
Is The Potential Impact Of Solving The
Problem Big Enough?
