Abstract:
What does it mean to have a career in sales? This is a question that will get many different answers, depending on who you ask. For many people, the image of “cold-calling” or even going door-to-door is the first image they have. While both of these things are true in the very broad world of sales, Business-to-Business software sales (B2B) can be a lucrative career that often looks more like consulting than the door to door salesman.

Starting a software business has been mostly glamorized thanks to popular media like The Social Network, Silicon Valley, etc, not to mention the epic tales of founders like Steve Jobs and Bill Gates. But what does it really take to be successful as a software startup? What happens to the 90%+ that fail?
