Ehsan's Growth Commentary
The data from 154 companies shows Outbound Sales generates 40% of pipeline for Logistics companies at Pre-Seed. But only when implemented with discipline. At this stage, every experiment should run for exactly 2 weeks before evaluation.
For 1-3 people teams: assign one person to own Outbound Sales end-to-end. Shared ownership means zero accountability. The founder should be the owner until Series B.
