The Role that Sales and Distribution Play

Peter Thiel, the famed venture capitalist, once said:

“Superior sales and distribution by itself can create a monopoly, even with no product differentiation."

This statement might surprise many entrepreneurs who spend endless hours perfecting their product. But Thiel’s message is simple—no matter how strong your product is, without a solid distribution plan, it won’t reach its potential.

In fact, many companies could be better off focusing on getting customers rather than endlessly tweaking their product. The sales process itself can do the heavy lifting when you're starting out.

Of course, this doesn’t mean you should rush to ship a subpar product. But don’t fall into the trap of thinking you need to have a “perfect” product before you start selling.

Get your offering in front of people and listen to feedback. This will help you refine your offer in real-time and make improvements based on actual customer needs.
