FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS PPI (Problem, Pain, Impact): Get agreement on a problem, understand the pain the problem causes, and identify what that means for the buyer and the business. Use bucket questions to get problem agreement. Weave the top 3 problems into your opening questions.  When someone tells you what they want, restate it as a pain point. Turn solutions into problems.  The transition between discovery and demo is the perfect time for “might make sense”.

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.

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS When working with reps and trying to help them improve, work backwards from what you want to the prospect to say then build what they need to do to get them to say that Coach forward vs. backwards, coach to prepare so that future performance will be better and they feel more prepared for actual scenarios approaching Have each one "What Great Looks Like" exercise per manager per quarter, pick one metric, find the rep who is the best at that, then diagnose the different behaviours they exhibit to adopt across the rest of your team Use the "Four Ds" to roll out WGLL across your team - define what good looks like, document it, demonstrate it with training, and deliberately practice it by scoring reps performing the new tactics on calls PATH TO PRESIDENT’S CLUB SVP of Sales and Partnerships @ Bench Accounting Practice Lead, Revenue Leadership @ Winning by Design VP of Inside Sales @ PatientPop Inc.

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS Ask your inbound leads what prompted them to take the call. Start your calls with outbound leads by calling out that they might not know what you do and explaining the problems you solve. Then make the transition into discovery.  Categorize buyers’ answers into problem language or solutions language. Buyers often answer “problem” questions with solutions, so ensure you get the problem language. Avoid discovery fatigue with a mix of emotionally intelligent techniques. (Examples: quick customer stories, summarizing, questions) PATH TO PRESIDENT’S CLUB Co-Founder & CEO @ Stealth Startup Director of Sales & Go-To-Market @ Gong Co-Founder & CEO @ Conversature Regional Sales Manager - New Business @ InsideSales.com  RESOURCES DISCUSSED Join our weekly newsletter Things you can steal
