No Sales? No Problem. Here’s How Early Founders Should Sell Without Feeling ‘Salesy’. 🔥 Because great products die when no one knows they exist. Post: You’ve built your MVP. Maybe it even works. But no one’s buying yet. Why? Because most first-time founders fear selling. They wait for marketing, virality, or a magical “product-market fit” to do the work. But here’s the brutal truth: In the early stage, the founder is the only salesperson that matters. Don’t wait. Do this: Step 1: Define your narrowest niche. Stop saying "our tool is for all restaurants." Start with: “Our tool is perfect for fast food joints doing 50+ orders/day via Swiggy.” Step 2: Build your list manually. Go hyperlocal. Walk around. Use Google Maps. Use JustDial. Use Instagram hashtags. Make a Notion/Sheet with 100 prospects. Step 3: DM/Call/Walk in. Forget fancy email tools. Just say: “Hey, we’re building something that can help you reduce Swiggy/Zomato commissions. We’re early, and would love to get your feedback. Can I show you a 3-min demo?” Not selling. Seeking help. It works. Step 4: Track objections. Every “no” teaches you something. “We don’t have time” = simplify onboarding. “Will customers come?” = you need case studies or testimonials. “Zomato gives us visibility” = build your visibility pitch. Step 5: Iterate your pitch daily. After 10 conversations, you’ll know what clicks. After 30, you’ll close your first deal. After 50, you’ll feel like a machine. Final Truth: If you’re not talking to customers daily, You’re not a founder. You’re a builder. Products are built in code. Startups are built in conversation.

Progress Is Messy We often imagine progress as a straight line — step one, step two, step three. But in reality, it’s messy. Some days you’re sprinting ahead, other days you feel like you’re sliding backwards. And that’s okay. What matters is not

Tech Twitter preaches freedom, but most founders just built themselves another job. If you can't walk away from your startup for a week, you own a prison.
