The other day, I was speaking with a colleague about the state of sales/selling. We started talking about the irony of change, how our jobs are all about change–yet we, somehow, seem the most resistant to changing how we sell. Sales/selling has little to do with what we sell. It is strictly about change, helping our customers/prospects recognize the need to change, helping them in that change process.

Until founders have real help on the ops side, I usually see everyone get wrong the calculation of how many reps they’ll need. And it’s almost always more than first-time founders think. You can back into it: First, figure out how much revenue you need to close in the next twelve months. Because that’s a lot more than now. And you have to hire ahead (of course).

Why do we sell? Why do we choose a job that requires us to sell? Is it because of the money? Is it because it was the easiest job we could get graduating from college? As some might claims, is it because we couldn’t find anything better? Recently, I had the opportunity to reflect on this for myself. In college, I was focused on theoretical physics.

Such a simple question, but too often, we don’t really understand the answer to this question because we focus on what we are selling. Too often, we fail to understand why customers are buying. Often, it’s because we are getting involved very late in the customer buying process, they have made some decisions, conducted research, and are seeking answers to their questions.

Of all the objections salespeople come across, the price objection is the most likely to stop them dead in their tracks. Most of us are uncomfortable talking about money, and when we’re asking people to part with theirs, it can feel like there’s an added layer of discomfort. But the price objection shouldn’t be scary or uncomfortable.

The hardest investment rounds to price are seed rounds. They’re incredibly situationally dependent: A founder that sold her last company for $400m or IPO’d might be able to raise a pre-seed round at $40m pre (not uncommon). A founder with little proof points might be lucky to raise anything at all, and $2m pre might be very generous. All these pre-money numbers are crazy in the early days because they are all too high based on any sane metrics.
