  • #364 - Own the Sales Cycle: How to Take Command from Call One (John Barrows)

    Join John's Newsletter


    FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

    • Executive time crunch: If an exec only has five minutes instead of 30, ask, "What’s the one thing you need to hear to earn another meeting with your full attention?" Focus on that.
    • Lead with a hypothesis: Instead of asking generic discovery questions, start with a hypothesis about their priorities based on research, showing you did your homework.
    • Decision criteria: Prospects may focus on the wrong decision factors. Share a list of common criteria and ask them to rank their priorities to guide the discussion.
    • Demo as you go: Don't save all product demos for the end. Show small pieces of the product during the conversation, interspersing discovery throughout.

      • #363 - Hall of Fame: Michelle Cecil

        FOUR ACTIONABLE SALES TAKEAWAYS

        • Recognize your SE and team members who help you on deals & onsites
        • Call each attendee after a meeting to thank them for their time and ask them for their feedback
        • When pitching an onsite be prescriptive about what's in it for your champion and close with "Do you think your team would be open to something like that" as a softer ask
        • Send a multiple choice pre-meeting survey to each of a meeting's attendees to ask questions about the client's current state

            • #362 - Find Top 1% Sellers with Proven Outbound Recruiting Tactics (Armand Farrokh, 30MPC)

              TOP ACTIONABLE SALES TAKEAWAYS:

              • Connect with your team: Be connected with everyone at your company to easily back-channel info about candidates through mutual connections.
              • Three-step candidate drip: Use a three-message drip when outbounding candidates—intro, bubble-up, and ask for referrals if they aren’t interested.
              • Mini-pitch framework: Pitch by sharing your personal story, explaining your team’s philosophy, and highlighting what impressed you about the candidate.
              • Sell before screening: Don’t grill outbound candidates. Ask them to brag about what sets them apart, and judge their quality based on that.

                    FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

                    1. Mixtape Demo: Instead of sending a full 60-minute demo recording, send short, highlight snippets that prospects can easily share and digest.
                    2. Clarify Vague Terms: When prospects use broad terms like "ABM," ask them to define what it means in their context to get more specific insights.
                    3. Match Test Demo: Customize demos by using the prospect’s own data to show how your product works with their top accounts, making the experience more relevant.
                    4. Real-World Business Case: Use the results from the match test to build a realistic business case, avoiding inflated ROI figures and focusing on actual outcomes.

                                FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

                                • Multi Single-Threading: After a big team meeting, send individual follow-up messages to key stakeholders. This helps build relationships without asking for anything, creating future points of contact.
                                • Daily Pipeline Review: Every day, look at your deals and think of specific actions to increase your chances of winning, maintaining daily momentum across opportunities.
                                • Win One Stakeholder at a Time: Focus on winning over stakeholders one by one at different stages—manager during discovery, director during the demo, and VP at the big team meeting.
                                • Structured Sales Cycle: Brian’s sales process follows a clear path: discovery, demo, big team demo, pilot, and finally commercial negotiation.

                                      • If you feel like you have leverage in a deal, but haven't gotten in front of the right stakeholders to progress the deal, use that as a non-negotiable to begin negotiations
                                      • Sit down and write down your own "Gives" and "Gets" that you can trade with your buyer during a sales cycle
                                      • Someone liking your offering does not make them an effective champion, ask questions like "Is {title} aware of these conversations?" to test them
                                      • When trying to get access to power use labelling statements like "I often hear {title} likes to weigh in, is that the same for you?"

                                            ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

                                            • Empower your reps with a clear discount menu, outlining what’s approved for negotiations. Include things like signing during the trial, committing to case studies, or G2 reviews to speed up late-stage deals.
                                            • Before taking over a team or segment, review call recordings and data like sales cycle length and ACV to identify where you can have the biggest impact.
                                            • Assess the spacing between sales calls and find opportunities to consolidate steps or reduce gaps to shorten the sales cycle.
                                            • Introduce a structured proof of concept (POC) with three defined calls over 14 days, dictating trial activities and clear exit criteria for smoother decision-making.
