Oleksandr Komarevych (StartupReporter.eu) asked a couple of questions to Lars Mørch:

– What are the biggest mistakes and myths you noticed in early-stage startups’ sales & growth sector? 

Lars: – One would be getting too locked into an approach early on. It’s important to be open to trying a number of strategies early on and being nimble and responsive. 

OK: – What are the biggest wastes of time founders do?

Lars: – Reporting that happens too early. It needs to be based on a solid foundation of enough data points to be able to drive meaningful analysis.

OK: – What are your favourite books or resources (blogs, podcasts) on sales, revenue, growth or in general for founders? 

Lars: – At Avallone, we have a culture of learning – so we have a lot of resources that we love! Some books that we recommend include The Hard Thing About Hard Things by Ben Horowitz + Powerful: Building a Culture of Freedom and Responsibility by Patty McCord. There are a number of great podcasts that the TED audio collective puts out – for example; we love the podcast Work/Life with Adam Grant.

OK: – What would you suggest they use if founders had to teach themselves to improve their work?

Lars: – Building a network with other founders and being able to get ideas and discuss issues.
