Pakistan has thousands of people teaching skills. Nobody is teaching how to SELL.
Open LinkedIn or Instagram right now.
Someone is selling a web development course. Someone else is teaching Android. AI agents, graphic design, SEO, content writing, Meta ads, Google Ads, every skill you can think of.
And honestly? A lot of it is good work. I’ve seen NETSOL by Salim Ghauri teaching AI skills. I’ve seen Zeeshan-ul-hassan Usmani teaching AI agents. Innovista and others doing technical skills. I appreciate all of it.
But I’ve been noticing a gap that nobody is talking about.
We’re producing builders. We’re not producing sellers.
Here’s the difference:
Teaching someone to run Meta Ads is not teaching them marketing.
Teaching someone Google Ads is not teaching them how to sell.
Those are tools. Turning on a campaign is not selling.
Real marketing is: How do you make someone WANT what you have?
Real selling is: How do you grow a product, a service, a company?
Real business development is: How do you build a network that opens doors globally?
I’m not seeing anyone teaching THAT.
Not a proper course. Not a series. Nothing that teaches companies or individuals how to develop a selling mindset, how to pitch globally, how to grow their services beyond Pakistan.
Why am I writing this today?
I watched a reel by Irfan Malik where he touched on something close to this. Appreciated it genuinely. But it was a reel. 60 seconds.
The real problem:
We’re graduating thousands of developers, designers and AI tool users into a market where the hardest question isn’t “can you build it?”
It’s “can you sell it?”
Every startup I know struggles with the same thing: finding clients, pitching, closing deals, growing their network. Not building the product.
And nobody is solving that with proper, serious education.
My question to you:
Is anyone actually teaching this? Or are we going to keep producing skilled people who have no idea how to sell what they’ve built?
P.S: the picture below is of traditional turkish breakfast which I had in turkey 2 weeks ago and is just for attention xD.
