Moving beyond missionary founder's selling...
Every entrepreneur knows the realities of founder sales; constantly searching for early adopters to evangelize and convert at seemingly whatever price the market will bear.
It’s critical however, that while out converting early adopters that can validate you to the broader market that you factor in gained intelligence to structure your sales and marketing models to drive the sales success of the layers beneath you.
It is often this transition, encapsulating the founder's expertise, passion and skill into a repeatable sales and marketing play-book, that dictates whether the company will be successful in leading the market, or falling victim to competition or a market that simply goes dormant until they themselves determine that the need becomes unbearable.
To get there you have to go beyond just touting features and benefits...
Instead, you must package the entirety of the value that you represent to drive the market towards an ideal destination that is aligned to and can deliver on their strategic goals and objectives.
