Suvikas Bhandari

Pune

Runs a workshop for Indian founders on cracking the US market, from years of enterprise sales in sales readiness software

Why they're worth your time

His workshop is one of the few India-authored, structured attempts at the question every Indian B2B founder asks: how do you actually get a US buyer to take the first call. He is also good on sales readiness as a discipline, since he sold the category rather than just practising it.

Background

Suvikas Bhandari has worked in enterprise sales and partnerships at Mindtickle, the sales readiness platform, helping global enterprises drive revenue through sales enablement, and his background spans startups, Fortune 500 companies, Big-5 consulting and commodity industries. He speaks at GTM Dialogues meetups in Pune on ramping up sales inside an organisation using psychology and data, and runs a Cracking the US Market workshop for Indian founders built around a framework he calls the Kundali.

April Dunford Toronto

The person most B2B teams learn positioning from, and the author of Obviously Awesome and Sales Pitch She turns positioning from a vague branding exercise into a repeatable exercise: list your true competitive alternatives, isolate the features only you have, work out the value those unlock, and name the market segment that cares most. Her Sales Pitch work is the rare material that connects that positioning to the actual words a rep says on a call. PositioningICPSales processCategory design

Author of Founding Sales, the handbook that popularised founder led sales Founding Sales is the most concrete text available on the exact stretch most founders get wrong: your first 10 customers, your first rep, and the handoff between the two. He is unusually specific about call structure, discovery questions, and what a founder should measure before hiring anyone into sales. Sales processOutboundGTM hiringEnterprise sales

Founder of SaaStr, the largest body of public writing on scaling B2B SaaS revenue He answers the operational questions almost nobody publishes numbers for: when to hire your first VP of Sales, what a rep should actually close, how long ramp really takes, and why most VP hires fail in the first 90 days.

Writes MKT1, the reference on how an early B2B startup should actually build marketing She writes the thing almost nobody else does: what the first marketing hire should actually do in what order, how to scope the role, and how to tell a growth marketer from a product marketer when you have budget for exactly one. Her templates and org charts are directly usable rather than illustrative. PositioningInbound & contentGTM hiringICP
