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 FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS When asked for pricing early, give a range but hold the other key pricing details until you get feedback. If you’re getting ongoing buying objections, suggest that it may be too early to be talking. Get to the true objection when someone asks to be sent more information. Before giving any discounts, get clear commitment on timing. And make it clear that if there’s a slip, it starts back at standard pricing.

Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0 FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS Segment your sequences between above and below-the-line decision-makers. Permission Slap: Ask for permission to give valuable information. e.g. Can I send you a 90-second video so I can show how you might get a sense of what win rates look like in RFPs? Look for keywords in the investor day transcript or in the 10-K, then attach those to the messaging you use above the line. Prospect in bursts. Voicemails and social touches power email replies even if you don’t get a reply on that channel.

Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0 FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS Prospect the right people: 80% of your prospecting time should be spent contacting folks ABOVE the power line. Set agendas like a human being: In the first 4 minutes of any meeting, address the time, the meeting content, & the potential next steps. Understand the intent behind your prospect's questions: If you get asked a broad question from a prospect, ask a question about their question to determine what information they are actually seeking. Keep Power in the loop: Share regular (succinct) status updates with the executive sponsor of your deal. It's your job to keep reiterating WHY their organization is looking to buy your thing.

Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0 FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS 3 ways to know you have a champion (influence & authority): always willing to hop on a call, willing to bring in their boss, and able to set meetings with cross-functional teams. In a team demo, use Slack/text for live internal communication and strategy. Ideally, establish your executive calls 1:1. You’ll avoid deal fatigue and better understand their true priorities.  Use PoCs to create urgency. Start them on a trial but ask for a legitimate commitment if they want to extend their usage.

Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0 FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS 3-step process every time you book a meeting: Show gratitude, send an invite with your company name first, and connect with them on LinkedIn. Use a pre-call checklist for discovery. Research everything you can about your buyer and show them you know them in the first 5 minutes of the call. Use “typically” language when prospects are hesitant to open up. By sharing common situations, it allows them to nail down their specific problem(s). Once you get to a problem, tell a story: “You make me think of a customer where XYZ was the problem, ABC is what we did, which led to 123 results”. This helps build trust and gets them to open up further.
