Built a great product, but didn't focus on selling it.
Essentially stayed in my comfort zone of engineering and product, rather than going out of my comfort zone of sales.
- er4hn 4y agoSame mistake that I made. Should have been focusing on my weak points from day 1.
- mikesabat 4y agoThis is why my startup failed. I will add to this, that when I conceived and built the product myself (with dev help of course) I took product shortcomings more personally. It's always a delicate balance between finding customers that will buy the existing product vs. taking the roadmap suggestions from potential customers. If you are managing the product and the sales there is also emotion/pride involved. Probably a good reason to have different people focused on sales and product.
- joshxyz 4y agoSame shit, all my previous attempts were failed due to lack of my awareness on how important sales is. Current one is going better since i learned sales.
