how it started

before startups there was sales. everything i know about talking to customers i learned here first.

age 11

A gas station

Juice seller

my first job. walking from car to car with my friends, knocking on windows. cold outreach before i knew the word.

years later

The bazaar

Somsa seller

sold hundreds of somsa on sundays to pay for my english course. the more you ask, the more you sell.

then

An education center in Tashkent

First software sale

walked in, said what i could do, and built them a website. they prepared me for the ielts for six months in return.

age 17

A construction company

Frontend developer, sales department

a friend's dad's place. i built frontend for the sales team and learned to sell on the phone.

  • sold one apartment after three months. everything started there
  • the lesson that stuck: know the pain of the person you're selling to, and know what you're selling

still in lyceum

Web development agency

Founder

formed a team of software engineers from inha to take on projects from companies, using everything i'd picked up in real estate sales.

a year later

Freelance & Digital Generation

Freelance developer

lived day to day on freelance projects and a contract with digital generation.

around then

Alpha Marketing

Sales intern

two weeks of cold-calling training, then a sales exam. four of us stayed out of fifteen. i pitched brokerage services to strangers in the uk over an auto-dialer.

  • two hours of cold calling hurt my head as much as twenty hours of coding
  • i left. it wasn't something i wanted to sell, but i still use what i learned
