Are you avoiding sales conversations because they feel icky and manipulative? You're not alone—78% of founders dodge sales due to psychological barriers, but this resistance is costing them millions in revenue.
In this episode, Anthony Franco, Chris Franks, and Stephanie Hays tear down the myths around selling and reveal why founder-led sales isn't about persuasion—it's about value discovery. Discover how to reframe sales as teaching, why your founder story is your most powerful sales tool, and the exact process that transforms sales-phobic founders into revenue-confident leaders.
Learn the immutable sales process every founder needs, when to hire your first sales team member, and why the skills that make you a great salesperson are the same ones that make you a great CEO. This isn't about becoming a slick closer—it's about authentic conversations that create real value.
