Many of you are working on some pretty cool stuff and are just about ready to approach customers to make your first few sales. Awesome. Even if your product is perfect, however, getting the first few businesses on board can be tricky.

I love the startup world and am offering to help you put together your initial sales strategy (What’s your biggest selling point? Do you have a clear “hook?” Who are your target customers? How do you get them? How do you scale?). From there, I can help execute the first few deals with you to get things moving.

My background: -Computer Engineering undergrad, Stanford MBA -Tech sales at Microsoft New England dealing with executive decision makers at Fortune 100 companies - Led mid-market sales at a San Francisco startup with only 1 customer when I joined (customers now include some of the biggest names in the media industry like FOX, WSJ, and AOL)

If you’re ready to start approaching customers and could use some guidance, shoot me a note: zuck AT stanford DOT edu.

Note: I’m new to offering this kind of help, so unless I’m overwhelmed with requests, I’m not charging anything pre-sale for the first few startups I work with.
