Ask HN: Advice on B2B Sales?

I developed a product that I wish to sell to business. I wouldn't say this MVC is 100% perfect. Still some issues (especially around typing on mobile), but it's nearly (or past) ready for reaching out.

Anyone who had experience on either side of that B2B sales process, please jump in a share what you think I ought to know.

I'm looking to be successful at licensing, selling outright or selling as a service this product.

You can try the service at https://free.cloudbrowser.xyz

It's developed with security in mind, but in reality there may be a better / more nuanced application.

If it helps, for background, this was about 6 months of FT work, self funded based on my previous contracting revenue. The idea came from a goal I have to build a web scraping platform with work reuse and this is a layer of that, that I discovered is also called "remote browser isolation". Finding out a particular layer could be factored out as a product gave me ideas about self-funding more runway, as well as possibly launching a side-business in and of itself. Right now, my TODO list is working out the remaining typing bugs on mobile, and providing some file upload/download support via a secure web gateway (basically displaying PDFs as PNGs).

I haven't done this before and there's lots of uncertainty so I think it's a good time to seek structured advice from people who know.
