Granted I've done the same thing 5 times now, but never again.
Should have mocked up a bare UI in a week, then tried to sell it for a month or two.....
How do you sell a mockup? Are you upfront with the potential clients about the product not existing and the timeline?
I imagine people would have a hard time buying a promise but that's probably because my sales skills suck.
You’re going to have a tough time finding a good sales partner if you assume them to be dishonest. Liars aren’t generally good salespeople.
It might be tough because most won't enjoy hearing it, but marketing is 100% lies. It is frankly dishonest to pretend otherwise.
You can say you don’t have the skills to sell something, but framing sales as something that is inherently dishonest or a misdirection shows you have a misconception of what sales ultimately is.
Could have probably worded my initial comment better.
