Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0 FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS There are four levers in a negotiation: Volume, timing of cash, length of commitment, and timing of the deal. When describing the levers, explain upfront: There’s tremendous value in us being able to predict and we’re willing to pay for that in the form of a discount. Hold firm by telling everyone in the world what the 4 levers are EARLY in your sales cycle. When power comes in for a final pound of flesh, paint the trade-offs and lean on the fact that you’ve shared this early so that your champion can evangelize it.

Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0 FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS Figure out your champion’s motives. This might look like supporting their business motives / aligning with their bonus/financial motives / or making them feel like they’re going to ink their next promotion. The Sandwich Sale: Combine the groundswell at the bottom of the organization with executive momentum at the top to squeeze the middle managers into action. Ask the executive: “Who’s your rising star?” They will often be the ones to drive your deal with the most velocity. Land a single deal for $50-100k, then build an internal business case to expand on the account.
