By Tibor Shanto. It takes a big person to say they are sorry, but it takes a good salesperson to know when not to. This is not an invitation for crude and sloppy behaviour, but more an acknowledgement that people are not perfect. Trying to cover it up with an apology may not have the desired effect. People will allow themselves to be led to a certain degree as long as they do not see risk.

In the latest Marketoonist, personal branding meets the digital age on LinkedIn. Fishburne’s take: Tom Peters ushered in the age of personal branding with a 1997 cover story in Fast Company titled “ The Brand Called You.” This was a liberating shift in thinking at the time. I still have a copy of that Fast Company issue. This was six years before LinkedIn launched in 2003.

One thing that constantly surprises me is that maybe 80% of venture-backed founders I know don’t know where they stand with their investors. The bottom line is every professional VC firm and investing entity divides its investments up into 3.5 categories: Super Green Light. You want to buy every possible share, period. See, e.g. Sequoia in WhatsApp.

Referrals are among the top ways sellers get leads and new business, but many struggle with generating them consistently. Often, this is because they haven’t thought about why buyers should refer them. They don’t have a system in place for generating referrals. We know our buyers rely on colleagues, associates, and friends to recommend providers. So when a prospect comes to us via this route, some of the work is already done for us.

I get the chance to preview dozens of books on sales, marketing and business. Most have unique ideas, I always learn from them. Every once in a while one stands out. The Wentworth Prospect by John Smibert, Wayne Moloney, and Jeff Clulow is stunning! When I started on the first page, I was suddenly caught up in a mystery. It was a novel, filled with an intriguing story about “Sue,” and her challenges selling a major deal.

I was recently talking with several SaaS companies that crossed certain customer count milestones. 1,000 paying customers. 5,000. 7,000 in one case. And I began to wonder: just exactly how many customers does the average public SaaS company have? The numbers make intuitive sense, but it’s helpful to see them broken about above for top SaaS and Cloud companies at < $2B ARR: The average public SaaS company has ~36,000 customers.

Q: How do VCs pick which seed investments to make? There is one common factor, that founders know, but often lose track of in their pitch: every VC, at any stage, is looking for outliers. No matter the price or how early or late. Your pitch, your team, your metrics, your market position, your vision, your TAM, your everything, should honestly and transparently but aggressively and positively show how you can be an outlier.
