A sales lesson!

Jun 06, 2025

I work in the Founder’s Office at Fueler. I also create content on YouTube where I share my processes and learnings.

Every Friday, in this newsletter, I share my process, thoughts, stories, ideas, and weekly recommendations.

This week, I started reading a book called Founding Sales by Peter Kazanjy. In part 1 of the book, he writes about the mindset we need to have to be a good salesperson.

In his first mindset, he writes about Embracing Plenty, not scarcity.

He tells that we all are taught to conserve resources. We’re told not to waste things.
The thinking should be “Even if this one does not work out, there’s a line of thousands standing behind it that I need to get to.”
Spend good time with good opportunities. Let go of the marginal opps, knowing that you can get them later if they become more viable. There’s plenty of opportunity here.

This is referring to working with clients. The author is trying to say that people are sad if they can’t work with one client. They don’t see the other opportunities where they can do business better.

A similar thing happens with us. We work very hard on a particular thing, and it might fail. We may not realise it happened for good, and there was something better than that.

There’s a bigger and better door waiting for you to leave the small door, where you are stuck, and the newer one has a lot of new opportunities.

Weekly Recommendations

I wrote something about ‘Study something you love in depth’ a while ago in this newsletter. It’s about how you can learn from anything and everything. Elon Musk’s Recommendations are the same.
