> Talking to people, let alone selling, turns out to be extremely hard for me. Recognizing weaknesses is a terrific leadership trait. So, this is a WHO problem. Essentially, Who can take on the public facing role of evangelizing, marketing, and selling your product? At this stage, assuming you’re bootstrapping —- Look for individuals you can trust, (people you might afford) with non-traditional backgrounds.

+1 to this. The poster can think of it this way: what if you there was a marketing person that was really good at it and then decided to start coding to make a product. Sure that might work for a prototype, but for anything more than some simple wireframes you would tell them to find a real programmer. Now imagine the reverse where you are the coder that just needs to learn (overnight!) how to sell. Just as the original marketer devalues programming you are doing the same with selling.
