Salesbricks 🧱

Jonathan Festejo, our CEO and co-founder, shares a valuable lesson on the go-to-market (GTM) journey: it's all about trial and error. As Jon explains during his interview with Brian💥 Sparkes at Silicon Valley Impact, early in a startup's life, it’s tempting to rely on feedback from friends, family, and investors. These are people who want to see you succeed, and their positive reinforcement can be misleading. While well-intentioned, this can lead to an expensive GTM strategy built on a false sense of security. The true test of a product's market fit comes from those with no connection to the company. The most valuable feedback often isn't a "yes," but a blunt critique -- a "no" that forces you to rethink and improve. It's about building relationships based on genuine trust, where customers feel comfortable being completely honest. At Salesbricks 🧱, we've integrated this lesson into our core strategy. We now actively seek out unbiased feedback, understanding that honest critiques are the fastest path to building a product that truly serves the market. This disciplined approach helps us continuously refine our solution and ensure we’re solving real-world problems for our customers. #GTM #B2B #SaaS #Startup #Founders

“Time kills all deals.” That’s exactly what Bounti.ai was running into -- slow, manual quoting in Google Docs, disconnected tools (Salesforce + Stripe), and too much friction in the sales process. Instead of helping deals move forward, their setup was slowing them down. That’s where Salesbricks 🧱 came in. With our platform, Bounti was able to: ✅ Create real-time quotes with usage-based pricing ✅ Adjust proposals live in-meeting ✅ Connect Salesforce + Stripe seamlessly ✅ Even let customers checkout on the spot The result? Faster cycles, higher close rates, and a buying experience their customers actually love. This is why we built Salesbricks, to help founders and GTM teams cut through the friction and move at the speed of their buyers. 👉 Full story here: https://lnkd.in/gFece7Fk #B2B #SaaS #GTM #RevOps #CaseStudy #Salesbricks

In his recent interview with Brian💥 Sparkes on the Silicon Valley Impact podcast, our CEO & Co-Founder Jonathan Festejo shared why the most powerful customer relationships are the ones built on trust and honesty. Key takeaway: Don’t just create relationships where customers are conditioned to say “yes.” The real value comes when they feel comfortable enough to say, “this part sucks.” That’s the feedback that fuels better products, stronger GTM strategies, and faster growth. 👉 Watch the full conversation here: https://lnkd.in/gVk3bjQQ #GTM #GoToMarket #CustomerFeedback #Startups #Salesbricks #SiliconValleyImpact #B2B #SaaS
