Listen "The physics of startup sales"
Episode Synopsis
Newsletter post: The Physics of Sales Rob and RC explore the fundamental differences between the "seller-push" approach to sales and the "buyer-pull" approach. They discuss the common misconceptions surrounding sales strategies, and debunk the nonsense that exists out there with sales hacks and approaches that pretend to be able to "create" demand where there is none. The dialogue highlights practical advice for founders on how to align their products with actual customer demand, improve sales conversations, and navigate competitive environments effectively. The conversation includes steps that founders can take today to move toward a "buyer-pull" mentality in sales. 00:00 Introduction to Podcasting Journey01:04 Understanding Demand vs. Supply in Sales02:20 The Concept of Demand in Product Development06:04 Defining Demand and Supply07:42 Seller Push vs. Buyer Pull Dynamics14:36 The Power of Buyer Pull20:01 The Experience of Sales Conversations22:08 Self-Diagnostics for Sales Approaches25:56 Navigating Competitive Environments30:02 Key Takeaways from the DiscussionConnect on LinkedIn w/ Rob: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rsnyder1/ Weekly founder insights w/ Rob: https://howtogrow.substack.com/ Work with Rob: www.robsnyder.org
