Sales/Marketing Study Group

This is a study group for tech startup founders who want to get better at sales and marketing.

The main purpose will be to set goals and hold each other accountable to them.

If you're just getting into sales/marketing, don't worry. We'll help each other learn, strategize, and decide on goals and paths to take.

Also, the group will cover topics like:

• Sales techniques

• Rapid customer validation / 10 Ways to Get Out of the Building (http://www.slideshare.net/LeanStartupConf/ten-ways-to-get-out-of-the-building)

• Lessons learned from Lean Startup and 4 Steps to the Epiphany books

• On-the-ground marketing: targeting niche groups and following through

• Viral marketing and user engagement

Post comments here or message me if you have ideas or suggestions.

Background

I posted the following to the mailing list a few days ago:

Anyone interested in forming a (free) sales/marketing study group as part of this meetup? I'm very interested in experimenting with Lean Startup ideas, rapid customer validation, sales techniques, viral marketing, etc.

It would be great to have buddies who are running similar experiments and hold each other accountable.
