Wing Academy on Sales

Description

The Wing Academy is an exclusive, invitation-only series for startup founders and CEOs to learn on critical, company-building topics. The academy features curriculum—not speeches or panels—and is delivered through a combination of frameworks, templates, war stories, and interactive dialogue. The instructors include seasoned, successful leaders, and the setting is closed-door and under Chatham House Rule. The academy is “HBS Executive Education” meets “B2B Entrepreneur.”

The Wing Academy on Sales will help entrepreneurs understand how to drive sales and how to build sales organizations and processes. Importantly, the academy will cover early-stage themes: the first 10 customers, the first $25 million in revenues, the Rev Ops capability, the economics of selling, bottoms-up and open source models, and the sales playbook. Participants will leave the one-day academy with tangible, actionable insights and tactics for their companies.
