In this segment, Jason M. Lemkin shares insights from his time at Brex about a sales and marketing tactic that can give a company a competitive edge. He notes that many rivals force prospects to speak with a salesperson before they can access the product, creating a barrier. By contrast, he argues that firms confident in the superiority of their offering should let potential customers try the product directly—either alongside competitors or in a way that blocks competitors from being tried. This approach not only showcases the product’s value early but also serves as a differentiator that can accelerate adoption.

Chapters

So couple takeaways, and then I'll talk a little bit about one thing that comes to mind from my experience at Brex, but couple takeaways. You are selling in an environment where most competitors require businesses to talk to a salesperson before they get access to the product. And one thing that differentiates you on the sales and marketing side is you actually want people to experience your product either alongside or before experiencing other products. And that's potentially a takeaway. If you believe that you have the best product in the market, you should be encouraging and incentivizing people to try it either alongside competitors or in a differentiated way where they actually can't even try their competitors.
