Hi all, I’m a software engineer and I’ve been thinking of entering a fairly crowded B2B industry (a lot of profitable companies in this specific market, so it should be able to accommodate me as well then, right?)
So far, I’ve been busy building the software for this, but my concern is sales. I have a full time (9 to 5) job (it pays well and I don’t hate it either) where I’m writing software most of the day. My question is, once I have a basic version of the application ready, how do I sell it given my time constraints? Do I cold call while at work? What if they want a demo or want to meet? Additionally, how do I handle customer support while at work (do I just limit it to email support)? This is a concern that I’ve had in my mind for some time now and I welcome your suggestions. I can’t just quit my job at this time.
