Are you a founder
who hates sales?
The Founder Sales Sprint helps founders, freelancers and solopreneurs win better customers with a proven sales approach that leverages your inherent sales capabilities.
Is this familiar?
Are you struggling to get traction in your sales efforts?
Having trouble getting in front of the right prospects?
Can't engage with prospects in a meaningful way?
Or are you getting stalled and can't advance the sale forward?
The Founder Sales Sprint program is specifically designed for the early-stage founder, solopreneur or consultant looking to:
dramatically accelerate their sales effectiveness,address the typical early-stage sales challenges the founders and non-sales entrepreneurs often face, orsimply get better at selling and don't know where to start.
We focus on the specific needs and issues facing the early-stage founder and technical leader that recognizes the importance of sales effectiveness. This course focuses on sales fundamentals, process, and mindset.
Why we get results
I'm a fellow startup founder, which means I've lived through the same challenges, issues and opportunities that you're facing in real-time. And I've had to deal with remote selling, COVID, budget constraints and all the other market forces that are impacting your own business.
Because I've been where you are, I know how to overcome the obstacles and challenges you're facing right now. I've sold into enterprise and B2B accounts, worked for VC-backed and bootstrapped startups, and sold across telecom, healthcare, pharma and financial services.
And I've spent over ten years as a sales and marketing consultant to startup companies. And coached technical founders on sales process, strategy and mindset.
Most importantly, I can teach you to distill your customer buying process and focus your inherent sales capabilities to enable you to get more and better customers in less time.
How it works
Structured as a five-week sprint, our commitment is to have you achieve specific, measurable and meaningful sales objectives each week.
Every session is designed to make you more successful at sales. We accomplish this with a combination of both the specific training and coaching you need to address your specific sales challenges and develop and reinforce the key fundamentals that will power your long-term sales success.
The specific program elements include:
Assessment - We start with you. Who you are, what you are building, where do you want to be, and what is in your way? Understanding these key elements, we use the Founder Sales Sprint structure to apply the right sales strategy and tactics to develop you and your business.
One-on-One Working Sessions - Each week includes a focused, objective based coaching/training session with specific sales targets and metrics. Pipeline development, call review, sales process development, customer qualification, and deal flow will be core elements of each One-on-One session.
Group Workshops – Each week's workshop session will focus on 1) sales training designed to cover key sales fundamentals for founders, and 2) open discussion/Q&A among the Founder Sales Sprint cohort.
Educational Videos - As a participant in the Founder Sales Sprint program, you have access to our sales video series. These training videos are short, specific, and actionable segments tailored to the common sales challenges that founders and solopreneurs face.
The Founder Sales Toolkit - Each Founder Sales Sprint participant is granted access to an extensive array of sales tools, templates, and other supporting materials. A core fundamental of the Founder Sales philosophy is a focus on efficiency, constant learning and improvement, and repeatability. Thus, the Sales Toolkit.
BONUS > Post-Sprint Coaching Sessions - Because your success is critical to our success, and because transformation and growth take time and need reinforcement, we will conduct post-Sprint coaching sessions at two weeks and four weeks after your completion of the Founder Sales Sprint program. These one-on-one sessions are yours to direct and focus on the sales or business challenges/opportunities specific to your business.

We expect success
This program is different. We don't cram a bunch of tips, techniques and lessons into a few days. Or run it as a self-paced video course.
That is because transformation and growth take time. And because it takes time to identify prospects, schedule calls, conduct follow up and move customers through the sales process.
We cover a lot of ground, and you'll learn a lot about sales. And you will want to practice it in multiple situations, try different approaches, get feedback and guidance, and develop your skills.
And it's demanding. We expect you to attend, do the work, and report your progress. Every week.
So, is this program for you? Ask yourself these questions.
Are you confident in your sales ability?Are you happy with your sales momentum today?Are you winning the customers you want, the ones that advance and enhance your business?Or are you struggling with the qualification process, or with customer conversations that aren't moving forward?
Being an early-stage founder isn't easy. You have lots of distractions, responsibilities, and are being pulled in a lot of directions. But to stay in the game, sales has to be a priority.
The Founder Sales Sprint program is designed to make you the efficient and effective sales leader that your company needs. One that knows how to generate predictable, sustainable revenue and win the right customers for your business.
Because that if that is your priority, this could be what you're looking for.

Our guarantee
We fundamentally believe that customers aren't really customers unless they're happy and referenceable. And our success as a sales coaching and training program is measured by your success. To help ensure that, we do two things.
First, we'll determine if you are a good fit for the program during the assessment phase. Not everyone is ready to enter into the SF Sprint program, and it isn't a good use of your time and energy if it's not a good fit for you.
Second, we will refund your money if you're not able to get value out of the program. We're that confident in our program and our ability to assess good candidates.
But ultimately, your opinion is the only one that matters, so if you're not happy we'll refund your course fee. No questions asked, and no hard feelings.
