Apply Steli Efti's SaaS Sales for Startup Founders framework — a battle-tested playbook from Close.io covering the full sales lifecycle: validating ideas, choosing between self-service and sales-supported models, hiring the right salespeople, finding ideal customers, handling objections, running demos, optimizing trials, increasing customer lifetime value, and managing churn. Use this skill whenever a founder or sales leader asks about SaaS sales strategy, closing deals, handling objections (price, features, switching), building a sales team, finding product-market fit through sales, or growing revenue. Also trigger when users say things like 'how do I sell my SaaS', 'should I hire salespeople', 'how do I handle pricing objections', 'how do I run a demo', 'why are my trials not converting', 'how do I reduce churn', or 'how do I find customers'.
