Don't worry about some asshole picking apart stuff. Your writing is clear enough that if someone has a hard time parsing it - that's their loss. I've been in Saas for over 10 years helping sales and marketing teams convert and close at higher rates. The article hits home for several tech founders who understand customers but don't understand prospects. The post captures some learnings that many other people never ask or dig into - but make all the difference. Thanks for sharing, I've shared it with several people who will not think this is obvious - and they won't need to "pickup a standard book" to learn some snippets.

Question: how much better does the salesperson perform compared to your previous attempts? How long will you give him to prove himself?

SaasTr is a great sales resource if you're looking.

I easily understood that sentence first time I read it and so did 'mreiland'. Don't mind these silly comments.

HN users have already said it, but if it helps at all, we (I'm a moderator here) sure hope you won't let a nasty comment like that bother you. Plenty of non-native English speakers write excellent articles and comments for HN. What matters is the content.

Don't worry, the text was perfectly understandable. Great read!

Your English is good, but not good enough. If you're going to continue writing these articles in English, find a native speaker to proofread for you.

If you start getting your stuff proofread, my "asshole" comment will have done you more good than any of the touchy feely bullshit you've seen elsewhere in this thread.
