Chapter 6: The Sales Hat

“Make sure you have an elevator pitch for multiple audiences. Don’t wait too long before you start selling. The reality is you need to start selling day one, and you’ll figure things out as you go.  You also don’t want to be a rhinoceros. You don’t want to be someone who’s got a big head and little ears. You want to listen well so that you can adapt the pitch to the need. You might learn something you had not thought about.” – Michael Jongkind, Founder of Religent Health on the importance of sales in running a startup.
