EVENT DETAILS |
Sales is where the rubber meets the road in business, the bottom line verification that there's value in the product you're offering. But most products don't simply sell themselves. And that's where sales & business development come in. In the early stages of a business, it's often the entrepreneurs who must do the selling - both for lack of resources to hire real sales people but also because it's a necessary part of developing a product & company. As the company grows, how should startups grow a sales practice? What are best practices for developing processes, setting goals & accommodating the dynamic nature of a still nascent product? And what are the best practices for growing the team?Likewise, for sales & business development candidates who want to work at startups & in the technology space, what is it like to work in these environments? What sales skills are needed to support a young product vs. an established product? A small, early stage company vs. an established corporation?Join us as we discuss topics like
Acquiring customers for an MVP or pilot
Pricing your product
Identifying target segments & testing them
Hiring your first salesperson & growing a sales & marketing team
Finding sales & marketing jobs at startups
Building capabilities as you develop in a sales career
Sales processes & best practices for young companies
