Sales Onboarding Strategy That Cut Time To First Sale by 49% | Bite-sized Tactics

Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0 But wait, there's even more Gong x 30MPC at our Master Class Series :) FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS Use the 3x3 after your opener: “I noticed this, this, and this about you…how familiar are you with what we do?” Be outrageously authentic. Example: “I would’ve been fired if I only closed deals with allocated budget.” Set the expectation for three call outcomes upfront. At the end, tell them you think we’re at a 1 (which means buying this now), and ask them to validate that. Use a soft close to skip a pilot. You’re either ready to move now, which gives us commercial flexibility, or need us to invest more time and resources to prove the use case.

Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0 FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS Start your executive meetings with the top 2-3 priorities, then be quiet and let them explain why they took your call. At the end of the executive meeting, ask them to sponsor you and make intros to each department lead. Test pricing throughout the sales cycle with each department lead so that when the big proposal lands, it can be justified. Not sure if the deal is a waste of time? Ask: is this above or below the line if your budget gets cut?

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.
