Jen Abel is GM of Enterprise at State Affairs and co-founded Jellyfish, a consultancy that helps founders learn zero-to-one enterprise sales. She’s one of the smartest people I’ve ever met on learning enterprise sales, and in this follow-up to our first chat two years ago (covering the zero to $1 million ARR founder-led sales phase), we focus on the skills founders need to learn to go from $1M to $10M ARR. *We discuss:* 1. Why the ā€œmid-marketā€ doesn’t exist 2. Why tier-one logos like Stripe and Tesla counterintuitively make the best early customers 3. The dangers of pricing your product at $10K-$20K 4. Why you need to vision-cast instead of problem-solve to win enterprise deals 5. Why services are the fastest way to get your foot in the door with enterprises 6. How to find and work with design partners 7.
