Are you a virgin?
Seriously, so many virgins who have never sold a single thing. If you’ve never convinced anyone to give you money for a service or good, you are a business virgin.
Tough task = asking a person for money when you are selling them something.
CS Major CRO is about qualifying to be Chief Revenue Officer so that we do not get fired when we are founders. Sell. One. Thing. Selling one thing solves the problem of tech founders getting fired.
Do NOT mentally check out. A lot of people have never sold ONE THING. Watch how much a person sweats when they’re asked to sell one thing
