You Don't Know Why Your Customers Are Really Buying From You
from We Live to Build
You Don't Know Why Your Customers Are Really Buying From You. In this interview, RevHeat founder and CEO Ken Lundin argues that most founders, even those at $200 million companies, are clueless about why their customers truly buy from them . He explains that founders often think customers are buying features (like a report with four colors), but for any high-ticket item, the real reason is much deeper and solving a much bigger problem. Ken also reveals why your first sales hire will likely be the biggest disaster of your career, and shares his unpopular opinion that AI could completely replace salespeople in the future because sales is 75% framework and science.
