Rev Member Morning Grind: Sales for Startups

Steve Gal, seasoned entrepreneur and professor, will lead a workshop focused on sales as it relates to startups.

Sales – the generation of revenue – is perhaps the most important function for the success of a business. Revenue is what pays for everything else that a profitable business does – marketing, accounting, finance, administration – everything. Yet “take a look at the curricula of the world’s top-ranked business schools, and you might come away with the impression that sales is unimportant. Most MBA programs offer no sales-related courses at all, and those that do offer only a single course in sales management. Even at the undergraduate level of business instruction, sales courses are sparse.”

-Harvard Business Review, Teaching Sales, July-August 2012.

Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions at th end of the session.
