Introduction
This section reframes sales as a repeatable revenue system so founders and sales teams can stop relying on heroics and start managing performance. You’ll align the right sales motion to your context, clarify who really buys, and sharpen value creation over feature pitching. By the end, you’ll have practical targets and guardrails to avoid common intermediate scaling mistakes.
