Video Introduction Why do some businesses blame their salespeople when the real problem is the entire sales system? In this episode, Saad breaks down the system behind it, from creating an offer people actually want to buy to generating leads, qualifying them, running the sales call, handling objections and finally closing the deal.The surprising part? According to Saad, sales may be the last thing you should fix. If your offer or distribution is broken, even a great salesperson can only do so much.In this episode, you'll learn: 1. The Offer Stack that can turn a generic service into something people actually want to buy 2. Why “We help you grow your business” is a terrible offer and how specificity changes pricing 3. How organic distribution + paid ads + brand work together to create a predictable sales engine 4. Why responding to a lead within 5 minutes can completely change the sales funnel 5. The “Gates of Hell” framework for qualifying a prospect before you ever pitch 6. How asking “why?” repeatedly can uncover what a prospect actually wants 7. The belief-breaking question → proof → pitch framework used inside the sales call 8. Why the best salespeople sometimes need to stop talking to close the deal 9. How to handle “too expensive” and other objections using information collected during discovery 10. Why tracking every leak in the funnel can increase revenue without changing your sales pitch If you've ever wondered, how to build a sales engine that can scale a service business to ₹50 crore, and why fixing the salesperson is often the wrong place to start, this episode is for you.

   👉 Video Introduction Your startup can have 10,000 customers and STILL have zero Product-Market Fit.In the age of Meta ads, vanity metrics and AI, it has never been easier to convince yourself that your startup is working.But according to Eric Ries, the creator of the Lean Startup, most founders are measuring the wrong things.In this episode, we sit down with Eric Ries to break down what actually separates a startup with real Product-Market Fit from one that is simply buying growth, why Anthropic chose to move slower than OpenAI, and why some of the world's biggest companies are built around engines of growth that most founders completely ignore.From fake PMF and vanity metrics to hiring, culture, mission, customer validation and the skills every 21-year-old needs in the AI era, this conversation is a masterclass in building companies without fooling yourself.In this episode, you'll learn:- How Meta ads can make a startup look like it has Product-Market Fit when it doesn't- The exact metrics Eric Ries uses to separate real growth from vanity metrics- The 3 Engines of Growth that can determine whether a company actually scales- Why Amazon has made one of the most important startup metrics almost impossible to measure- Why hiring for "culture fit" can secretly create groupthink- Eric Ries' biggest startup mistake and how it cost years of work and millions of dollars- The 3 skills every 21-year-old should build in the age of AI

   How to SELL ANYTHING to ANYONE? | The Cold Calling Masterclass | Saad Khaja

   What if the fastest way to get a job, validate a business idea, or reach a billion-dollar company is simply picking up the phone?Most people think cold calling is spam. Saad argues it can be one of the most powerful business skills you can have because, with the right approach, you can reach people who would otherwise be almost impossible to access.In this episode, we sit down with Saad, a salesman and sales trainer who has spent over a decade studying how people buy, to break down the psychology, strategy, and mechanics behind high-level sales and cold calling.You'll discover:• Why a $20,000 cold-calling exercise saved a company nearly $500,000 by proving its business idea was wrong before it invested heavily.• Why cold calling may be the fastest way to get a job, including how Saad got a job offer after just his third cold call.• The 30-second rule that determines whether a cold call survives, and why most salespeople lose before they even start pitching.• The "Old Friend" opening that makes strangers ask YOU who you are instead of immediately hanging up.• Why the person asking questions controls the conversation, and how salespeople use questions to move prospects toward a decision.• The "Value Delta" that makes selling dramatically easier, and why the best salespeople aren't really taking money from customers.• The four pillars of tonality, and how changing them can completely change how a prospect feels.• How to handle "too expensive" and "we don't have the budget" objections by discovering what the objection actually means.• The BANT framework, Budget, Authority, Need, and Timeline, that separates genuine prospects from people who are merely interested.• Why saying "When do you want to get on a call?" is a mistake, and the tiny change that makes it easier for prospects to actually commit.If you've ever wondered how the best salespeople make strangers listen, uncover what customers actually want, and turn a cold call into a business opportunity, this episode is for you.Watch the full episode and learn how to master the art of cold calling, sales, customer research, and persuasion.

Skincare Marketing, Product Truth & D2C Brand Building | Minimalist | Indian Business Podcast

Published 19 Jun 2025 · Transcript excerpt

[…] Now, what I'm not able to wrap my head around is how on earth did you find the early version skin care? how would you go and find that subset? Would it be with the Dermats or would it be a specific place that you go to? Or was that, you know, through performance, if you can find that particular niche who are extremely aware, how did you go about it? See, first few months was not driven by performance because again, as you rightly mentioned, it is very, very difficult to find those customers, right? Because there's no one particular group. And even if you work with Dermat, it's a very... I mean, it's a long process that, you know, you talk to each and every dermat and then the dermat will maybe inform three or four of his patient and the cycle will just continue to go on for a very long time, right?
