There is a difference between the value created in the sales conversation and the value of your product or service, one or both being described as a "solution," a way to solve a problem. The difference between the value of the conversation and the value of your product or service is one of experience. It can be difficult to understand the difference when you believe your solution is the value you provide to your prospective client, even though the only people who experience the value of what you

With the ever growing size of sales technology stacks , the standard telephone can get lost in the array of options—especially for outreach. Let’s not forget that buyers are taking more control over the purchasing process than ever before. Gate keepers. Privacy laws. “Don’t call me, I’ll call you.” Couple the aforementioned facts with the reluctance on the part of inside sales and outside sales reps to call leads, and the phone can collect dust faster than a broom.

To create a preference to buy what you sell, you must create some kind of meaningful differentiation. But most salespeople differentiate in the exact same way as their competitors—something they prove by opening the first meeting with a history lecture on their company, followed by a picture of their company's trophy case (the logos of their large clients), followed by how their product or service solves the client's problems better than their competitors.

So the way VC funds do accounting and valuations is … weird. Most VC funds “mark-up” their investments to the price of the last round and … just sort of leave it there. If things go really bad, sometimes they’ll lower the valuation. And if it goes to $0, of course, they have to write it off. But they generally have a lot of lattitude on when to continue to carry an investment at the last round price.
