Startup Sales — 5 Common Sales Mistakes by Founders
August 12, 2025
Founders are responsible for the first sales a startup will make. For many founders, this is one of their very first experiences of sales and mistakes are often made.
Today we’re talking about how to manage your company’s external lawyers, particularly during critical moments like closing fundraising rounds or changes to your business structure.
Most startup lawyers are extremely busy, so don’t hesitate to politely follow up and remind them of your pressing needs.
Don’t let document requests linger in your inbox. You’re already going to experience frustrating delays, so don’t add to them.
If you need something completed by a certain date, let your lawyers know as early as possible and secure their commitment. You can refer back to this deadline when you follow up.
Best of luck out there.
