There's a great video from Clever CEO about How to Sell: ▶ this video Basically he can tell if a sales conversation went well by how much each person is talking. If the customer is talking 80% of the time it went well. Vice versa not so well.

At [link] we're giving users a 30-day free trial provided you enter your CC details upfront. Our product will be involved deep enough into your tech stack that you need a bit more than the standard 7/14 days to try it out. We're testing this model first because of the feedback we got from other YC companies (we're part of YC SUS 2018). They said we should charge as soon as we can to get validation. Most of them charged too late and regret it because there wasn't enough commitment from their users. On this talk from the lectures ▶ this video , the speaker suggests going more aggressively at it and ask for an annual agreement with a 30-day money back agreement instead of a free trial. The point is that it gives us validation and commitment. We're discussing that now.
