Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0 FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS Don’t just set an agenda. Use PPO (purpose, plan, outcome) to set clear expectations for you and your prospect. Avoid deep-diving into features until you've established “why change?” and “why now?”. Show up to your discovery with a theory about their pains and your solutions. Don’t just start peppering questions. Soften the CTA with “would you be open to” instead of heavier asks before the customer is ready to dive deep. RESOURCES DISCUSSED Join our weekly newsletter Things you can steal

Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0 FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS Stay top of mind with your closed/lost opps with introductions, referrals, and nuggets (don't be another email marketer). Re-engage former customers at new companies by proposing how your product fits them in their new role/company. Leverage team selling to stay multithreaded in an account instead of restarting a sales cycle when you lose a champion. Get a new champion by finding the next biggest fan and ramping them with condensed steps that you've already taken in the deal.

Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0 FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS Get ahead of every executive conversation by first prepping with a champion pre-call. Use Slack channels for champion collaboration and driving deals to close. Before going into an executive demo, make sure the priorities you collected from discovery are aligned with the executive's. Always create a work-back plan linked to date-of-value so deals don't stall when entering legal, security, etc. PATH TO PRESIDENT’S CLUB Sr. Director, Mid-Market & Growth Expansion Sales @ Drift Manager, Sales Development @ Dropbox Account Executive @ Yelp RESOURCES DISCUSSED Join our weekly newsletter Things you can steal

Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0 FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS When you’re asking questions don’t just ask the question. Say, “the reason I’m asking is because (insert problem). Go into a discovery call with a hypothesis of the problem you can solve. As you prove it out, give little proof points (case studies, stories) so it’s not an interrogation. When demoing, demo 80/20. 20% of what matters most spend 80% on that. Bonus: stack your demo with what makes your product different as opposed to what everyone has. Before giving concessions or discounts, narrow the scope (number of seats, commercial terms, service term, number of years in the deal) and get everything on the table before you start giving any sort of concessions.

Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0 FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS Go back to “home plate” and re-anchor to top priorities when dealing with demo “nitpicks”. Use “To what extent” to turn any close-ended question into an open-ended question. Turn your demo into more discovery with (a) HOW does this compare? (b) WHERE does this fit in your workflow? (c) WHO would use this? Seek out hesitation. “Based on what you’ve seen today, what would prevent us from moving forward?” PATH TO PRESIDENT’S CLUB Lead Enablement Manager @ CB Insights Enterprise Account Executive @ Sentieo Sr. Account Executive & Team Lead @ Axial Sr. Associate @ Deloitte RESOURCES DISCUSSED Join our weekly newsletter Things you can steal

Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0 FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS Write down what you want to get out of the call and two ways you can get it. Use one team to prove your business case, then build it out for the others. Don't enter a PoC unless you have security, legal, etc. wrapped or in progress already. Don’t fixate on just a person’s title. Someone with tenure may have as much or more political capital than those with a newer, higher title.
