What's the most important role as an entrepreneur? What's the hardest thing about being an entrepreneur? What's the one thing that defines a startup vs. just an idea?
You'll be surprised to know all three answers are the same: SALES!
Why are sales so important?
- They validate the viability of your business
- They initiate the cash flow to invest in the growth of your business
- They beget more sales with referrals
- The fear of rejection is founded in reality. Some experts say for every 50 leads, only 1 may come through.
- There are many unknowns, unlike other parts of a startup where the work is more concrete.
- Your startup may cease to exist sooner than you'd like.
