Why should you listen to me?
I'm the co-founder and CEO of Close and ElasticSales. I've helped more than 200 venture-backed startups to build and scale their sales processes. I've closed thousands of deals worth tens of millions of dollars.
Not only have I done it myself, but I've also trained thousands of founders, sales directors and sales reps how to create predictable revenue.
I'm not telling you this to brag - I simply want to make a point: I know startup sales. And I know how to help others win the startup sales game.
If you're willing to pick up the phone and embrace the hustle, this book will drastically shorten your learning curve.
Steli's free startup sales course is one of the few courses I am excited to read. Learning how to sell is a major problem for many startups, and this course is hands-down one of the best intros to selling I've seen in a long time.

Inside The Mind Of A Hustler
How does a natural born sales man think and feel? I talked with Gary Vaynerchuk about salesmanship - he called it one of the best interviews in years.
Highly recommended because it breaks down the psychology of sales - a very useful mental blueprint to adapt if you want to crush it. Learn about the inner game of sales.
Steli is a great teacher. After reading his posts, we switched from an enquiry form to a self sign-up with 7-day trial period--our potential customers used the app more proactively and upgraded more frequently.
