It's a connections game. I remember last year I was trying to get an internship in an industry where I literally knew no one.

So I sent 100-200 personalized emails throughout a 4 month period to every single person I could find in the space. Eventually I got one and made a ton of connections just with that alone.

Now I'm also doing a startup and am talking with some big corporations just with getting to the right people and climbing my way to the top to sell my product.

Tyler Bosemany did a great talk about how to sell, i'd reccomend you watch it.



Is this the talk? Thanks for the recommendation, I forgot I was even subbed to the Y Combinator YouTube page.

Yes.

Another tidbit: Distribution kills a company, not the product.

Learn to sell (and make your product great) and everything will work out.


A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, so they say. It’s moving it from my hand to yours where the magic happens.
