SCOTT: THE BIGGEST MISTAKES FOUNDERS MAKE

“They think like, ‘Well, I'm a tech founder, I'm an engineer, I'm a product person, I'm a financial person, I'm not good at sales. So I should hire somebody to do it for me.’ And that really is the biggest mistake because no one else is going to be able to sell your product, as well as you in those early stages, because you have the vision, you've got the founder magic that you sprinkle on the deals, the way that people answer questions when you ask them that certain intuition that you have, that no one else in the world is going to have. So until you go and do those things, you're not going to be able to teach other people what needs to be done in order to prospect and convert deals and service them.”
