36 (Sell): Leveraging video to take your sales process to the next level (Tyler Lessard, Vidyard)

Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0 FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS Use the 80/20 principle - if someone hasn’t picked up within 5 calls, start expanding your efforts in the other channels. Prioritize direct dials & operations (their job is to transfer you). Avoid gatekeepers when possible. Document your channel validation. For phones: direct vs operator, validated vs not validated, etc. Focus on the tone/pace of your opener vs the words themselves. Then preface with the intent of your call to lower their guard.

Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0 FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS Include a short, one-page memo in your calendar invite so they can digest what you want to communicate. Then start your meeting 5 minutes later and dig right in. Create your business case in Mad Lib Style. Start with a framework and fill in the gaps as you go through the call, helping to build out the storyline. Use language in your business case that's internal to the buying team, weaving trigger words or trigger phrases that are going to signal to an executive that you're aligned with a priority they care about. When meeting with ‘below the line' buyers, find 1-2 workflows they spend 80% of their week in. Ask them to demo how that works today. After they share their screen, share yours, give them screen control, and guide them through that task in your product.

Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0 FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS Identify your champion and the problem you’ll be trying to solve, THEN share the MAP with them. Map out the key milestones in the deal and customize them for the people who need to be involved. Don’t show every step in the MAP right away. Have the big stages listed, then deep dive into the current stage. Anchor the MAP to their go-live date so they know you’ll be coming to those steps at a later date and they won’t feel overwhelmed early on.

Don’t claim to be the best at everything. Sell the 20% of A - what is most important and B - what you’re best at. Once you’ve heard their priorities, add to them so you can establish credibility as an advisor. Summarize key points from the meeting (priorities, impact, and timeline) and ask for confirmation of email receipt.

Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0 FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS Start your email with research personalization to stand out in the inbox (vs generic greeting). Quote the prospect/company directly by researching where the company is investing its money (e.g. in job postings, funding announcements). Use a more humanized approach when prospecting. Sharing something you both have in common in the P.S. is a great place to add a human touch. Reach out to your prospect immediately after they engage with your content - no need to wait for the next sequence step.

Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0 FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS Have a prep call with your champion before the demo. Identify who is in the room, what they want to get out of the call, and how past demos have gone. Connect what you’re selling to something that hits the P&L. Get one deep business impact, and tell one story that shows people that you can solve their problem. Get your prospect to tell you a story by using “typically” language to help prompt them with ideas that typically come up. Ensure the problem you are solving is not an isolated incident. Ask: Is this happening frequently, or just a one-off?
