Title: As a technical founder going into a more sales-oriented role, I would like advice on the tools other founders &#x2F; sales teams use in their day-to-day to give them an advantage in lead-generation and sales automation.<p>Although CRM suggestions would be OK, I am more interested in tools that help you do things such as:<p>- Create easily customizable email templates and their follow-up sequence.<p>- Automation software for LinkedIn outreach &#x2F; email sending.<p>- Automation software for generating leads. For example: easily identifying companies&#x27; email formats, easily gathering companies&#x27; and their competitors&#x27; information, landing page generation automation, gathering lists of companies based on size, industry, needs, etc.<p>Essentially, if someone asks you what your day-to-day sales operations look like for a B2B SaaS product, how would you respond with hands-on suggestions? Assume that such person has no idea of the current trends of sales software.<p>If someone asked me the same question for a software tech stack, I would answer for example:<p>- Bitbucket &#x2F; Github for version control<p>- Travis CI for continuous integration deployment<p>- React JS for front-end, combined with parcel as a bundler, Mobx State Tree for state management, etc.<p>- Ruby on Rails for back-end, combined with PostgreSQL.<p>Ideally, if you have information on how that product &#x2F; strategy gives you some advantage it would be really hepful. If you have any resources that could also help a technical founder get into sales, with a step-by-step process, that would also be great!
