[Help] Sales for techies?

Hey all, I'm a technical founder who drew the short straw and is now in charge of sales at our startup. Do you have tips for getting a sales sequence going? Tips for first-time salespeople? Would love to hear your thoughts.

How do you reach more people? 🤔

From your experience launching products, what do you think is the best way to reach people before the launch comes? Just being in social media? Or maybe investing in newsletters from the sector or in advertisements?

What do you hate the most about meetings?

I am deep diving into the core problems of meetings to find the best angle to attack them, and would like your perspective on that! Also, some related questions I ve had in my head for a while now: - How do you capture key moments (e.g. decisions made or next actions) during the meeting? If it s note-taking, what do you use? - Do you share a report after the meeting and if so, how do you share it? - Do you use a dedicated tool (e.g. Jira, Todoist, whatever ) to track next actions? As a PM in my current company, I take notes of most meetings myself, then consolidate minutes of meetings and share on Slack/Notion. Pretty burdensome, and the next actions end up kind of buried in my notes Never a good way to hold people accountable Thanks a lot

What are the ways to increase the mental wellbeing of a team working remotely?

Most of the teams have currently been working remotely due to Coronavirus pandemic, and it affects our mental well-being to be far away from our co-workers. Which ways do you follow to feel better, and make your co-workers feel better? What ways do you follow to make it feel like working together in a physical office/studio?

If the Pandemic ended right now, what's the first thing you would do?

Stepping into 2021 there is some optimism that things might start going back to normal to some point and I'm curious what's the first thing you would do if everyone went back to normal right now? For me, I'd probably just go to a restaurant. I miss dining out so much

Do you use notetaking apps? Which one would you suggest and why? 🙏🏼

I have been using pen and paper mostly, because I like just being able to use all the space freely. But recently I ordered an iPad, so wanted to try this with the Pen. Considering that I'll also switch all my notetaking, from my computer too, which would be the best option?

What changes will you bring with you when we eventually get back to normal?

Things have undoubtedly changed dramatically and it may be a case of some things coming with us when we go back to normal. For me it will be wearing a mask in winter, I hate the flu and I get it every single winter bar the previous one so if I can prevent it, I'm going to.

Did you experience any sales downturn in the last month? 🤔

I personally don't know any business that hasn't been affected. Many are struggling to make ends meet because of significant sales downturn. Sadly, that is the reality we have to live in. How are you holding on? What measures did you take to boost your sales? For example, there's a bunch of adjustments to our sales strategy we've made at Reply, including: - Changing our sales communications to address the challenges our prospects are currently facing. Namely, we ve updated our value proposition to offer a perfect solution for online sales engagement (that works great for remote teams thanks for collaboration features). - Building and nurturing relationships with the prospects rather than aggressively selling. Right now we're more focused on creating and sharing useful content aimed to help our prospects fight typical problems related to crisis (both sales and business in general). - Adding new products to offer extra value to the prospects. For example, we ve just launched our new unlimited email search tool https://www.producthunt.com/post... to help businesses fight the sales downturn. As for the latter, I'm proud to say that it's by far the best email finder tool out there with up to 95% accuracy rate! Also, in an effort to help fellow sales teams out there struggling to keep your sales up in these trying times, we're giving this tool away for free I'd love to hear what you're up to - share your tactics and hacks to drive sales despite the crisis
