It's a connections game. I remember last year I was trying to get an internship in an industry where I literally knew no one.
So I sent 100-200 personalized emails throughout a 4 month period to every single person I could find in the space. Eventually I got one and made a ton of connections just with that alone.
Now I'm also doing a startup and am talking with some big corporations just with getting to the right people and climbing my way to the top to sell my product.
Tyler Bosemany did a great talk about how to sell, i'd reccomend you watch it.
- aspenmayer 6y agoIs this the talk? Thanks for the recommendation, I forgot I was even subbed to the Y Combinator YouTube page. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZi4kTJG-LE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZi4kTJG-LE
- sdan 6y agoYes. Another tidbit: Distribution kills a company, not the product. Learn to sell (and make your product great) and everything will work out.
