Ehsan's Growth Commentary

Most SaaS 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.

The first 90 days of Outbound Sales for SaaS at Growth: weeks 1-2 audit and baseline, weeks 3-6 first experiments, weeks 7-12 double down on winners. Do not skip the baseline step.
