No. The founder of a relationship-driven company holds assets the business cannot buy: market knowledge, standing with peers, the credibility that opens a door at a large account, and the pattern recognition that identifies a real project before an RFQ arrives. Those belong in play, and the annual conversation with the top ten customers is one of the highest-value uses of a founder’s time in any B2B business. What comes off the founder’s plate is routine deal mechanics: quoting, chasing, scheduling, reminding, and rescuing accounts.
