Course overview
You’ll stop dreading sales and start leading them. This course gives you precise mental models—no scripts, no sleaze—for mastering every key early-stage B2B conversation. You won’t change who you are. You’ll gain a clear, repeatable way to navigate sales as a founder, using your natural instincts with structure that works.
You’ll learn:
How to enter any call with clarity using the 90-Second Opener framework
How to use the Discovery Map to reveal real, urgent problems without pushing
How to get past Gatekeepers by aligning with their priorities, not bypassing them
How to run a Value-First Demo that feels like solving, not pitching
How to lead Stakeholder Alignment calls that surface hidden agendas and unite decision-makers
How to close confidently using the Exec Q&A + Negotiation Ladder without caving on price or energy
Each model is:
Simple enough to memorize
Flexible enough to adapt in real time
Grounded in real founder conversations, not theory
You’ll build mastery through:
Walkthroughs of actual founder cases
Live practice with coaching and feedback
Paired drills that help you recognize and respond to each move in the “sales dance”
Tools to synthesize your own conversations and improve after every call
By the end, you’ll have five mental models hardwired into your thinking—enough to handle any early B2B deal with confidence and clarity. No more guessing. No more hoping the other person leads. You will.
01
Technical or product-focused founders who feel allergic to sales but know they must close the first B2B deals themselves.
02
Early-stage founders who want a repeatable way to lead sales conversations without relying on pressure, persuasion, or personality shifts.
03
Solo or founding teams who are tempted to hire a salesperson too early and need to prove what works before scaling revenue.
This is for those who haven't done tons of B2B sales but after generating tons of revenue are likely to fill other leadership roles.
To train and spar you'll need real material that matters to you.

Isaiah is a 5x founder who’s led both product and go-to-market from zero to millions—without ever becoming “that sales guy.” He’s built and scaled revenue engines at startups like Pinwheel, Skribe, and Vendidit, and coached hundreds of technical and product-minded founders to close their first B2B deals with clarity and confidence.
Isaiah didn’t start out loving sales—he used to hide behind landing pages and hope someone else could figure out revenue. Now he teaches exactly how to lead high-trust conversations that convert, using mental models that feel natural and repeatable.
He’s helped founders land six-figure contracts, go head to head vs. the world's top competitive sales folks and win, and helped founders scale their own systems before hiring reps. He loves helping and fall in love with the dance of selling—not the pressure.
