The Best Sales System Is a Founding System—Especially When You’re Selling Into the Unknown
Start with founder-led sales, scale with founder-led systems
When you're launching true innovation, conventional sales playbooks fall short. They're built for the known and predictable. But founder-led ventures are different: you're constantly expanding into uncharted territory—where blind spots appear, pressure mounts, and the stakes are high.

"The engagement paid for itself very quickly in just the three or four months we've worked together. What I'm most excited about, anecdotally and directionally, I can say it's going to be a 5-10X return. Because it's now part of our DNA and approach. It's not just limited to Go-to-market. It's benefiting other functions."

"We're starting to introduce Walter as soon as possible to our teams. The big thing Walter brings to the table is that he convinces engineers to like sales. They go talk to him, and they come back f'n loving doing sales. Before that, they hated doing sales."
Dave
Founder of HF0 and General Partner at Backend Capital
"Walter made it clear that our scoring and assessment of where deals really were in the pipeline was way off. We brought a couple of people in from our team who are very experienced, one of them has been selling for 30 years and the other is a 20-year veteran, and after working with Walter for a couple of hours our team decided to work with him in a much more committed sustained way."
Jon Sobel
CEO of SightMachine
"You talk to him for 5 minutes and he is already delivering value in your sales process. Without knowing anything contextual about us, he was able to look at the pure mechanics of the sales process and then instantly start moving the needle. That was surprising. That sold me."

"We're starting to introduce Walter as soon as possible to our teams. The big thing Walter brings to the table is that he convinces engineers to like sales. They go talk to him, and they come back f'n loving doing sales. Before that, they hated doing sales. With a month to Demo Day, he was able to not only help a developer founder close a 6-figure deal, but he helped turn it into a 7-figure deal helping them raise the biggest round of the cohort at a much higher valuation than expected. Walter helps top AI founders cut through the hype to figure out what customers truly need.

"The pace of transformation was fast, it took weeks and paid for itself very quickly in the 3-4 months we worked together. What I'm more excited about is that it is going to be a 5-10x return. It's not just limited to Go-to-Market, it's benefiting other functions. The biggest benefit is that I can now delegate sales and enable our sales manager to truly become the sales leader. It changes the growth trajectory of a company. My most predictable solid base is 2x'ing output which allows me to invest in the areas we're newer at. What I'm most surprised about is how quickly it was adopted not just by a rep but by the whole team.  This is part of our culture, always be learning, always be testing, doing more of what works, manically focused on self-improvement and growth. This helped us structure the chaos in early-stage startups.

Set the next sales leader up for success
"When our new sales leader came in he brought a lot of his past experience and methodologies with him like MEDDIC. Because we had already embedded the Simple Lens templates including the 3Ws and the MVPitch and our entire approach to opening these calls up and gaining a deeper level of information it built a foundation that we were able to just put MEDDIC on top of rather than change everything.Â

Enhance alignment between Sales and Customer SuccessÂ
"Once we bought into it as the sales team, then it translated over into customer success. Now whenever we do an internal hand-off meeting with the customer success team, they are breaking down what the 3Ws are with us, from our notes in salesforce, into the real things to focus on in the initial kick-off with the customer.  So the Simple Lens process is going from the first meeting with the customer all the way through to their kickoff call, taking those same pain points and tying them to the solutions that we're going to implement and why we're going to implement what first.

Lead Sales Different
The Simple Lens Point of View
Â
Here's to the captains of growth—trailblazers, disruptors.
Founding teams of developers, designers, visionaries, and experts who don’t just see different—they start and scale sales different.Â
With a simple lens, they chart unknown paths, tracing patterns in chaos with intuitive clarity. Their sight remains unclouded when others falter.Â
In sales, they blend beginner’s mind with expert focus, embodying perpetual learning and personal growth.
Where others see fog, cast by old habits of thought and emotions, they perceive themselves and reality lucidly. With each step into the vast unknown, their resilience strengthens. Â
Laser-focused on pivotal deals and strategic next steps, they cultivate leaders and build scalable systems.
Where once repelled by sales, they now discover personal power.Â
This power isn’t added—It’s a shift in perception, viewing sales as an integral part of their character, an expression of their passion and craft.Â
So here's to those who lead sales differently. Those who breathe life into the spirit of the Simple Lens. To the captains of personal and professional growth.
