Daily Dose: First Principles for Startup Founders – Implementing = Learning [Part 4]

By Scott Sambucci | April 12, 2023

This is Part 4 of our series – First Principles for Startup Founders

In this episode, Scott talks about why ACTION is essential to learning when it comes to your startup’s sales and GTM process.

Ideas are great, implementation is better. Because that’s the ONLY way you know if your idea is any good, collect metrics and know how to improve.

To understand what is our target market? Who are we selling to? What is the messaging? Why are they buying? What’s the value we create? How do they buy? Who are the people that are involved? What’s the decision process like? How do we implement with new customers?

All of these learnings come through implementation, whether you’re going from 0 customers to your first 10, or from those 10 customers to your first $1MM in revenue. That continues to shift and change as you grow from $1MM to $3MM, $3MM to $10MM to $30MM, and so on.

Sometimes you win, and sometimes you learn. Either way, you’re ahead of where you were before.
