Sales Knowledge Base

Sales, at its core, is about helping people make confident decisions. It means understanding their problems, clearly communicating how your product solves them, and guiding them through the process. For founders, sales isn’t a separate function. It’s a critical part of building the business.

Whether you’re closing deals yourself or leading a team, sales involves listening well, qualifying opportunities, handling objections, and building trust over time. It’s not about being slick or overly persuasive. It’s about being clear, helpful, and consistent in driving toward outcomes that benefit both you and your customer.

Sales Playbook

Walk through the fundamentals of building a repeatable sales playbook (aimed at B2B SaaS founders). Learn how to define your ICP, approach outbound and inbound sales, and structure your pipeline without overcomplicating it. You’ll hear practical advice on what to track, how to test messaging, and how to evolve your sales motion as you grow. It’s designed to be especially useful for founders doing sales themselves or just starting to build out a team.
