How do I turn random wins into a sales process someone else can run?
Write it down, then make it boring. Take your last ten closed deals and map what actually happened at each stage, then turn that into templates: a qualification checklist, a discovery guide, a demo structure, a pricing sheet with approved discount bands, and a definition of what a stage change requires. Add a weekly pipeline review with the same questions every time, and run loss reviews on every deal you drop so the playbook keeps improving. Do not set quotas until the process is proven repeatable, because a quota on an unproven motion just teaches you that the rep failed. The test is simple: could a competent new hire close a deal using only what you have written?

Yamini Bhat turned her own early wins at Vymo into a motion that sells to banks and insurers, so she talks about the unglamorous part: what each stage means, who owns it, and what a new rep needs written down. Useful when the process still lives only in the founder's head.
