Beschreibung

Pitching, networking, hiring, selling—so much “people stuff,” so little social battery. If you build great products but dread chatty rooms, this fast, funny field manual hands you instantly usable lines, playful frameworks, and friendly boundaries (without coming off cold). You’ll learn how to glide through demos, investor coffees, and team standups with charm that doesn’t drain you. Expect punchy one-liners, “exit ramps” for never‑ending small talk, micro‑rituals that refill your focus, and friendly ways to protect calendar, attention, and brainspace while still landing deals. Real founder scenarios, comic relief, and zero fluff—just practical moves that make human moments feel lighter, quicker, and far more effective. Build momentum, not headaches. Close prospects, not tabs.

If you’ve ever wished for a cheat code that lets you keep your calm while your business grows, this is it—snappy, humane, and surprisingly fun. Grab it, grin, and get back to building.
