🤝 day 1/207 · building in public · INTRO POST! I’m Matt. I’ve spent 15 years in sales, from Account Executive to Head of Sales. At one point, I managed more than 50+ reps. At my last startup, I helped take ARR from $0 to $2M. I built the outbound engine, segmentation, playbook, and systems behind that growth. Today, I help GTM teams put AI into real workflows so they can spend less time on busywork and more time with customers. But the painful parts of enterprise sales have stuck with me. I want to build tools that make life easier for strategic reps. I’m going to share that process here: what I build, who I talk to, what breaks, and what I learn. Why 207 days you ask? Because MY GUY @xltheg is the whole reason i'm starting this challenge! So as an ode to him, I'll also be embarking on 207 days of posting. Sheeeeesh! Challenge Goals by EOY: 1 POC Launch! $1 MMR 0 Missed Days 1000 followers If you’re a founder, builder, or seller, I’d love to #connect with you & genuinely learn about what you’re working on.

What's a "rich person" thing you tried once and IMMEDIATELY understood why they do it?

I’ve never tried this but I know my answer: Someone to cook and do dishes for me while I get to hang with my wife and kiddos ❤️

AI agents can help us build faster. But people still want to work with people they trust. 15 years in sales taught me that. As I build with agents, I’m keeping that lesson close 🤝
The age of agents is going to be amazing for most programmers, but it'll be hard times for the cantankerous ones. Specialized knowledge and rare skills will no longer offer immunity for those who are a pain to work with. Best learn some basic people skills.

IS THIS YOU: Building with a day job and kids it means your roadmap has some competition. Sometimes the win is a build session. Sometimes it’s knowing what to tackle next. To the moms and dads building at your own pace: keep going 🤝 I believe in you!! 🫶

a full pipeline of people who can't pay is still an empty pipeline. same goes for building. “my friends said they'd use it” is a start. would the right people pay for it? day 26 of 207. $0 MRR. BUT i'm building for the people who'd actually pay the first $1 🤝
How to stay poor: Only sell to broke people because they’re the only people you know.

🎃 Halloween costume idea: my launch plan 🎃 Looks ready to ship from the front. Spin it around and it’s all Claude, Codex, and a reminder to ask someone for feedback. 👻 Also requires me to actually launch something lol 👻
