Editor's Notes

  • #5 Big deal reviews
  • #8 Team selling – Deal swarming
  • #9 Days in stage is key Slips and downgrades
  • #10 How do we research accounts today? 10k - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk Individuals: Pro-tip – References provided to others on Linkedin. Who they have worked with, what they value, biases.
  • #11 - Email automation is irrelevant
  • #14 People buy from people they like People like people who like them Relationship cultivation is a core skill
  • #15 You need the concept of a deal desk - Buyers will try to include your proposal warranties in your contract
  • #17 Match the quota period with sales cycle For annual quotas give them consistency bonuses for quarters Make sure your plans are understood by all
  • #19 Need to keep the eyes on the prize
