Startup advice from Justin Kan, Stephanie Hulburt, and Naval
Which is better: B2C or B2B? When should you walk away from a sale? How do you make difficult decisions?
Three tweets Tuesday
"B2C is a gamble while B2B is (more) within your control."
"We have a philosophy of “no hard sells” and it has served us well. If someone’s not convinced we move on; we don’t hang on trying to convince one person. It’s tempting to defend yourself, but not good for business."
Naval on making decisions:
"If you can’t decide, the answer is no. If two equally difficult paths, choose the one more painful in the short term. Choose the path that leaves you more equanimous in the long term."
