UGLY TALK: YOUR FIRST SIX FIGURE DEAL

Your first six-figure deal can expose every weak spot in your sales process. You chased the wrong buyer. Priced from fear. Followed up too late. Let one internal champion carry the whole deal. Then the contract lands. You celebrate. The next question hurts more: can you do it again? This Ugly Talk gets into the hard calls behind closing a major customer. You will hear what founders got wrong. You will see what made the deal move. You will leave with a clearer path from one big win to $1M ARR. 🎯 Why you should be in this room. Spot the sales mistakes that quietly kill large deals. Find the buyer with budget, urgency, and enough power to move. Learn what changes across pricing, pitching, negotiation, and follow-up. Build a sales motion that can survive beyond one lucky contract. Understand what needs to break before your company reaches $1M ARR. 💬 What's on the table. Choosing the right deal: Which customers deserve months of your runway. Reaching the real buyer: How to navigate stakeholders and build an internal champion. Closing six figures: The decisions that move a large deal across the line. Owning the mistakes: Where founders lose ground on pricing, pitching, negotiation, and follow-up.
