How To Set Next Steps In Sales With The 5 Minute Drill

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS Delegate regular tasks, such as skill-building sessions in team meetings, to your reps to encourage leadership development and lighten your workload. When introducing new narratives or initiatives, provide a clear example of what good execution looks like, so your team knows what to aim for. Be transparent with your team about the reasons behind significant changes, such as quota increases or territory shifts, to help them understand and accept the decisions. Create a safe environment for reps by making it acceptable to forecast low numbers if that’s the reality, with categories for worst-case, most likely, and best-case scenarios.

FOUR ACTIONABLE LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS How engaged someone is on LinkedIn is a proxy of how good of a champion they'll be for you as a buyer. What you do in a call differs from what you want to get out of a call. The agenda is what you want to do, but make sure to explicitly say what you want to have coming out of the call. Have reps come in with a hypothesis or a POV based on what they see about the company. If the company is shrinking, the way you do discovery will be different from if it is growing. List out discovery questions to get people from high-level pain to deeper pain.

FOUR ACTIONABLE LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS Ensure every deal in your CRM includes the date, specific next step, and goal to make pipeline reviews more outcome-focused. Use one-on-one meetings with reps for targeted role plays to better prepare for upcoming meetings, rather than generic team-wide role plays. Assess early-stage deals by confirming if there's a recognized problem and if the prospect is willing to solve it with you. Focus on evaluating large early-stage deals first during pipeline reviews, as they are often more crucial than late-stage deals.

ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS: Schedule regular meetings with your champion to maintain deal momentum and reduce scheduling friction Schedule multiple next steps simultaneously if they're not dependent on each other to accelerate the deal. Determine whether the prospect will present, ask, or inform the board about the purchase, and prepare accordingly. Ask your champion questions that they might not know, prompting them to involve higher-ups who can provide answers.
