Ehsan's Growth Commentary

Most Media founders get distracted from Outbound Sales. My recommendation: build repeatable systems before hiring specialists. The companies reaching $10M ARR through Outbound Sales all share this pattern.

With 500+ people and $50M+ budget, focus Outbound Sales efforts on the single highest-ROI activity. Do not spread thin across multiple sub-channels. Validate one approach before adding another.
