#350 - Mastering B2B Sales: Strategies for Indie Founders


Listen Later

I share my journey into B2B sales, detailing the strategies that helped me land clients for my company, Podsqueeze. I discuss the differences between B2B and B2C, the importance of identifying target leads, and effective outreach methods, including using WhatsApp. I cover the demo process, follow-up negotiations, and the significance of maintaining customer relationships post-sale. I emphasize the need for patience and persistence in B2B sales, as well as the importance of setting appropriate pricing. Finally, I reflect on my experiences in Portugal and the challenges of expanding into other markets.
