Hi, dev here too working on my own side project, also an introvert, and English isn't my first language.
You got a point, sales is a transferrable skill after all.
But I think your sticking point is getting caught up in perfecting your pitch instead of actually getting infront of your target customers, trying to onboard them, letting it play out, and calibrating your product and onboarding process rightafter.
My gut tells me it's a bit of anxiety in a way that it's blurry on how you should onboard your first few customers (which is a nerve-racking thing tbh as it varies on whatever type of biz you're looking into).
Do you really need to take a 50% pay cut to figure it out? Maybe some reading could help, as a lot of founders have probably experienced this already..
