At one point in time I was the person writing these emails. Now, I'm the person getting these emails. It is hard to be an entrepreneur when you can't make things. If you're good at selling, you still need something to sell.

Coming from a business background, it's very difficult to create a product if you don't have engineering skills. It's the reason I learned how to code. Knowing how to sell isn't a useful skill if you don't have a product to sell!
