  • Routine opportunities return to the founder for trust, judgment or closing help.
  • Founder participation may still be useful for strategic deals, but ordinary business should increasingly move through the sales method.
  • Repeated rescue tells the company that difficult selling belongs with the founder and prevents revenue capability from becoming transferable.
