Oh Boy!<\/div>\n
Goodness did we just do a 180<\/div>\n
The on-again off-again nature of advocating engineers learn how to sell<\/div>\n
The on-again off-again advocacy of Heath tech founder learn to do tech sales. When Naval Ravikant says you\u2019re doing sales because you\u2019re bad at marketing and you\u2019re doing marketing because you\u2019re bad at product what he\u2019s basically saying is have a perfect product that is a \u2018end all be all\u2019 billion dollar product. <\/div>\n
Naval has great advice on tech sales that he\u2019s hiding <\/div>\n
Read \u201cAlmanac\u201d. In almanac, he talks about how very few people want to sell. He also talks about how very few people want to do engineering.<\/div>\n
Now, you do engineering and sales and you can pretty much get up and going on anything because you\u2019re just selling a piece of turd in engineering that piece of turd to be slightly better<\/div>\n
I\u2019m not missing a thing.<\/div>\n
