What should my priorities be for the first 6 weeks at a b2b SaaS company if the objective is to onboard 10 new paying clients?

What should I plan to be doing on a daily basis? (Still new to sales and want to be approaching it correctly)

P.s. Perfectly okay with cold calling if need be but want to be efficient with time and effort.

Oh, b2b product sales is a different ball game. Week1: spend time to understand the product very well. If you are not convinced you can’t convince a prospect. Week2: prepare notes on product USP, differentiation from competitors, your elevator pitch, your LinkedIn message, your cold email, your cold call script. Week3: research and prepare list of prospective customers ~ 100. Research in LinkedIn and find potential contacts in those (based on ideal customer profile). Week4-6: use LinkedIn outreach tactics: connect with them, comment on their posts, share a nice content relevant to your product and their internet. Combo selling with outreach on email, phone and LinkedIn

I firmly believe leadership makes the difference.

Not only, it highlins each one's value, but especially spreads this value among others.
I'm speaking about life, in a broad sense, which also include work life, but it is not limited to that.

Looking for any kind of suggestion to improve my leadership: books, experiences, attitudes, daily-routine, ...

Thank you!
