You've got your business problem identified. You've assembled a great founding team. You have an early version of your product in the market. Now it's time for sales and growth!

But, for a start-up that's easier said than done. Without a recognized brand or proven customer base, most sales calls go unreturned and many prospective customers simply "ghost" you right in the middle of the sales funnel. The truth is, without early sales and revenue traction, you don't have much of a business.

In this Friday session at Basecamp, leading Denver CEOs and Sales execs will get prescriptive and downright "real" about what it takes to grow an early stage venture. They'll provide practical, savvy advice on topics including sales team hiring, lead generation, CRMs and marketing platforms and expanding your sales funnel. Plan to grab a drink and join the discussion!

Moderated by Ben Deda of Galvanize.
