Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0 FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS Offer them value instead of meetings. Frame your asks in terms of what they will get out of the meeting. If someone is on a competitor, offer insights on where that competitor may fall short. Politely illuminate things that might be a bit “off” in their business. Provide an off-ramp for the prospect by making them explain why they are willing to invest in the next step. “Where does this rank in your priorities? You have to do X, you have to do Y.” PATH TO PRESIDENT’S CLUB SVP Sales & Partnerships @ Owner Director of Revenue and Merchant Success @ Shopfiy VP Sales @ League Inc.

Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0 FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS When prioritizing accounts, try to find the low-hanging internal research (CL Opps, Past Conversations), then move to external research (10-K, New Contact) In weekly 1:1s, do a look back on the past accounts you worked, and a look forward on the new ones. Have specific columns for the SDRs to fill in findings from their outreach. Look for triggers when you’re refreshing an account to change up messaging (New Person, Customer Move, 10-K, New Messaging) Work in 2-hour blocks (2hrs Nike, 2hrs for Adidas). Then use 1:1s to break up the day and refuel.

Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0 FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS Don’t drink and eat yourself to death at a conference. Keep your eye on the ball - meeting prospects. When you pre-set meetings before the conference, talk to the prospect’s team in advance. Focus the conversation on what you learned + what they’re hoping to get out of this. Add pictures of the people you want to meet in a Google doc. At the conference, create organic moments where you find those people. Play musical chairs at the conference - If one happy hour, session, or conversation isn’t a good use of your time, LEAVE.
