This is really dangerous advice. Mind if I give you a counterpoint?? We can accomplish anything and everything we choose. It’s painful most of the time, but we can. If OP wants to sell, they’ll be amazing at it. Good heavens, buyers are just as human as sellers.
Edit - Sorry, I forgot to add that the dangerous part of giving up is that it’s just as hard for non-sales people to hire sales leaders as it is for non-technical people to hire technical leaders. OP has to have enough confidence to keep learning, even if it’s just enough learning to make a great hire.
- aristofun 5y agoIt’s not about giving up its just common sense, people. Imagine Steve Jobs writing code or Wozniak doing sales, as an extreme example of my obvious point.
- hluska 5y agoYour point is neither obvious nor valid - Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak started the company together. This individual seems to be a sole founder. You have completely missed the point of all of this....
- aristofun 5y agoThat's why VCs don't like solo founders and that's exactly my point — find more people, event cofounders for critical roles. Otherwise you'll endup jack of all trades but with no good sales, no good product etc. Since focus and energy of a single man, even genious, is very limited.
- hluska 5y agoAnd again, you have looped back to where it’s incredibly useful for OP to learn how to sell. Thanks.
