Learn to Sell, Learn to Build

Learn to sell. Learn to build. If you can do both, you will be unstoppable.

• Learn to sell, learn to build 0:00

• The Silicon Valley model is a builder and a seller 1:07

• If you can do both you will be unstoppable 1:52

• I'd rather teach an engineer marketing than a marketer engineering 2:48

• Building is better when you're starting out but sales scales better over time 4:33

"Long term people who understand the product, know how to build it, and can sell it... can break down walls and get almost anything done."

Smart working means so much than working so hard
Y’all join stock market and have a good life

[viksam]

I'm quite competent at building things (apps) in my case. But need to understand the market and how to sell the product lot more.

[solidgod]

I understand his point well. Does he offer specific guidance on how / what to learn for sales as well?

Heraclitus one said: "Panta rhei" (everything flows) -- By modern interpretation, one can never step into the same Naval conversation twice.

I am 26 years old and the idea of having my own company or a product excites me a lot. However, I do not have any or many ideas. I take that I should just start following my curiosities by learning what I want to learn and then find a way to turn that knowledge into a product?, even though it could take a few years to get there. I don't want to be in an industry I have no liking or curiosity for. I would love to have Mr.Naval's input on this but I hope that is the right way to go.

But as a tech focused co-founder, I find it incredibly difficult to find a sales and marketing co-founder who is really good at it and not just a MBA degree holder.

Serious question what is considered "early in life?"

[yokoso]

Learn to build, learn to sell :

one is building the product, it is multivarient that can include design, developmenet, manifacturing, logistics, procurement

it has many many different definition of a builder in every industry,

in tech industry, there are CTOs, proggamer, software enggineer, hardware enginneer etc

one is selling, selling has broad definitions, it could be a markerting, recruiting, doing PR, communication, selling to customers, raising money etc

there is a builder and there is a seller, there is a CEO and CTO combo, the ultimate is when one individual can do both, it is when you get the true superpower

[nikhilchhabra]

Are there any startups/platforms which enables:
Builder-Startups to not worry about selling.
Seller-startup to not worry about building.

Its very rare to have seller-builders in same friend group.
There must be a bubble with all sellers. And bubble with all builders.

[MrVoyover]

Anything you would recommend to become very good at sales?

[omtripathi]

Now I can take my cse classes seriously

[NgiamTeeEe]

In SaaS, what types of build skills is?

[abhavupneja]

And can somebody tell, how to learn building and selling.

[iVuDang]

Learn to build first, and then learn to sell. If you can do both, you can create entire industries.
