SALES BS

What startup’s have bad sales org culture?

Hey folks, I'm a fresher to sales and about to start my job in a couple of months. I want to be prepared and I want to know which books can help me with a better understanding of Sales and Negotiation. To all the veterans out there, please help me with some suggestions and any other advice that will be helpful Thank you!!

Hi folks I'm a student of engineering in my final year. I'm looking to work with startups that are in early stage/stealth mode for a longer period(6 months internship or so). I'm tired of all the grunt work in my previous internships and would love to be a part of something where I have real ownership and get my hands dirty. Willing to do anything and everything. From sales, marketing, creating the gtm, analysing customer journeys. Anything except tech. Let me know if any of you have something for me. Dont have any greed for Esops or anything

Hi All, I am on the lookout for a Sales role (startups). Have 15+ YOE working for Hotel chains in the past and then transitioned into Startups ( 3 large unicorns) and have been on both B2B and B2C as well. Now working in a bootstrapped startup (profitable). Reason for leaving, company is great and is into Media (advertising). I look after their Business for one of the verticals, but since 12 years they havent set processes here in this place and now they have though of pivoting, but the people who have been here since inception are only used to one way of working and changing certain peoples mindset is becoming a challenge. I am trying other platforms, thought of putting it here as well.

What are your thoughts on the term that I am hearing in some of the podcasts (primary where one of the guest/organiser is a VC) - 'Founder market fit'. Is it really important/relevant/practical especially for aspiring entrepreneurs who have work experience (say 5-10 years)

Have 3 years work experience in brand management and digital marketing. Newbie in sales, some guidance before joining would be appreciated

Why is it that startups only get to hire the Sales and Marketing team with a limited budget of their VC or PE funding and why do they consider the Sales department not important. Do you think a service or product based startup can start getting revenue and customers without a proper sales and marketing team? And on what basis do Startups qualify selecting a sales and marketing team. Since I have seen and interacted with a few of the funded startups sales team and I feel they are below standards and just bothered to reach their targets set by the company. Would you like to have an organization where you can find a set of talented and well coordinated team you choose and build a sales team like a drag and drop and they work for you. With a profile of the person visible to you. Would you like to have a service offering like that. Seeking opinions from founders of the startups of any stage like self- funded or bootstrap or VC or PE rounds ...
