In the first meeting with a new company, I’m mainly looking at whether or not I want to be your VP of Sales. After spending 20 years in sales and marketing working at really early-stage prerevenue companies, I’ve found that the VP of Sales is the most difficult executive to bring into a company.

It was never a big deal before; certainly not something she was worried about. Because she had the safety net - two words that can choke the creativity and innovative drive right out of a young entrepreneur - of school. She would point to those comfortable, safe walls of academia and say, "Here's my responsibility," and get by with what she had. But its graduation time now and she is at an interesting crossroad.

I post a message for help, no one reply me, why? People do not like to help strangers on business issues. If you are new to the group and the first message you post is “ask for help”, then generally, not many people will reply your request. Try to participate in discussions, to help people first and make yourself known in the group, then people will treat you as a trusted friend and they will take your questions more seriously and will be much more willing to help. 2.
