About this course

This is your unconventional guide to finding traction and establishing early growth through sales. This chapter shows you how to build a simple, working sales motion from zero. We start with the mindset, the minimum assets, and the outreach math. Then we set up an experimentation loop to spark conversations, a basic pipeline, and messages that get replies. You finish with a clean demo flow, a clear offer, simple pricing, and a close and onboarding that get you paid.
