Most Founders Don’t Know How to Sell
You know this story: Early sales wins create momentum, then the pipeline turns unpredictable. The default becomes: “we need more leads.” Not really. You need a system to consistently win customers. Kent Summers has spent his career helping founders build B2B sales systems that actually hold up under pressure. His work spans teaching at MIT, mentoring at HBS, and hands-on operating, focused on one thing: helping teams turn early traction into a repeatable, scalable path to revenue.As part of the HAE Academy, he’s leading a course on building that system. If sales still feels inconsistent or dependent on you, this is where you get structured.
