Kyle’s Competency Framework FOUR ACTIONABLE LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS Pick 1-3 competencies to coach a rep on max. Train your team, then establish a coaching rhythm to reinforce the training and a metric to track it. Get your managers bought in otherwise your training will fall flat. Turn your managers into microphones instead of filters. Give your reps multiple ways to get to a “good day” — build a Good Day Framework that assigns points to both inputs and outcomes. If you have a rep who isn’t willing to work hard at the professional development plan that both you AND they agreed to… why would you keep working with that rep?

Check out the 30MPC X Outreach: 1 Sequence to Create and 5 Templates to Close FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS Brainstorm how you're going to advance each of your opportunities before you have your pipeline review with your manager.

Mark Kosglow's Course FOUR ACTIONABLE LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS Re-evaluate your Q4 incentives. Lots of sales reps aren’t making money now. Throw in SPIFs and kickers that squeeze the juice out of ICP deals or even a $500 referral SPIF for customers. Build your 2024 model for efficiency instead of growth. Sell your CEO, board, or finance team on healthy attainment to keep your best reps fed. They will carry you through a downturn. Consider running hot. Your top sellers will over-perform and make up for a gap in capacity you might have with a bloated team. Get everyone on the same page on healthy growth. No one wants a horrible CAC payback, a burning sales team, or a team that can’t keep their top reps.

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS Back Pocket Questions - Prepare multiple questions for your sales calls that you can pull out at any time. Use them if you get "stuck" at any point. Strategic Social Proof - instead of simply namedropping customers, use customer story examples that are relevant to how you’d envision your buyer using your service, ex. Having a similar use case. Make Discounting "Weird" - When you get hit with a price objection, your response needs to signal concern/confusion. You want to signal that this request is not biz as usual. Alternative Video Use Cases - Video isn’t just for prospecting. Use video for "pre-call context" + "post-call recaps" + "Exec Summaries" PATH TO PRESIDENT’S CLUB Founder @ 30 Minutes to President’s Club Senior Account Executive @ Time by Ping Enterprise Account Executive @ SurePoint Technologies Account Executive @ Aderant RESOURCES DISCUSSED Join our weekly newsletter Things you can steal

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS Don't put your customer in box. Use "soft" language like "typically", "usually" and "what I've seen". Before holding an intro meeting with a new prospect, mine your ecosystem for inside intel about what they care about & what they're like. Always assume there are multiple decision-makers in a deal (not just 1). Tell the customer upfront who you're NOT for - it actually makes you appear more credible.

FOUR ACTIONABLE LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS Burndown: Every day before the end of the month, make your team put all open deals in a spreadsheet with a two-line update. When you’re rolling out a methodology like command of the message, you can’t stop at the initial training. Every single new product launch needs to be trained in that framework, otherwise, it’s forgotten. Make sure your reps tell you what role you need to play on calls! Your CRO can always freestyle, but they much prefer you tell them what to do. 80% of the upward communications should be focused on the problems you need to solve. Often times your CEO just wants to know that you’re aware of the problems.

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS Anytime you’re asking about a get — sell why it’s important to the business. IE: You moving faster allows us to get ahead in our heavy implementation season. Assign values to the different “gets” from a customer and put together a slide that walks the customer through these. When turning down bad deals, walk them through how finance wouldn’t ever agree to multi-year flat deal, but how they can achieve a similar outcome with a different commercial structure. If someone slips on a timeline commitment, you might have to honor the number, but you can always ask for another get in return.

Download Jason Bay’s Cold Calling Framework FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS Open a Cold Call with a permission-based opener to get prospects to opt into talking to you. Your tone of voice is key because it’s hard to hang up on a genuinely nice person. Go for the reverse pitch by sharing what is top of mind for their peers. Start with what is relevant to them, not what you’re trying to accomplish. Hook prospects into scheduling the next meeting by finding problems you can solve. Start with the problems they share with their peers. If you know the prospect is a good fit, don’t ask if they want that next meeting at the end of the call. Be assumptive and roll right into scheduling. PATH TO PRESIDENT’S CLUB Founder & CEO @ Outbound Squad Owner @ Jason Bay Consulting Director of Marketing @ Chamber DS, Inc.
