If you are a seller in an early stage startup and you aren't involving your founders in discovery calls, you are missing out on some massive revenue. Just saying.
Slack your founder and INVITE them on some meetings.
Your pocket will thank you later.
Listen to them.
Ask them questions.
Care about them as much as you care about their number.
Do this and watch what happens with your organization!
And to anyone having a "2019 Year"
Keep crawling, you are almost out of the mud. And I am always here if you want to talk.
The year was 2019, it was one for the record books, or at least from the outside it looked that way.
I was closing deals.
I was building solid relationships.
I was getting promoted.
I was growing my personal brand.
Remember that as you are having discussions today.
And to any leader reading this, always remember that your people have a life outside of the projects, quota and everything you are trying to accomplish inside of the business.
Give them tools.
Give them resources.

Something we weren’t equipped for
Something that broke us down, completely
Our story ended with two beautiful boys, but that’s not how it always ends
What you say matters
The language you use, the words you speak
You most likely know someone fighting this battle today
It’s lonely. It’s confusing. It’s scary.

Every. Single. Day.
