> This is the biggest issue with a big majority of people on Hacker News. We are good a building, not selling.

That’s actually an excellent point. Selling is an underrated form of art and essential for any successful venture.




My experience as a professional sales consultant for SaaS startups is that it is not the this cohort is "not good" at selling, it's that it has very little idea of what to actually do. Being a bad salesperson is a different ball of yarn to unspool than not being a salesperson at all.


What's your advice for typical a builder with no sales experience? Any courses or books you can recommend?
