How I Deal

Nick Smith @ WorkSpan (#12)


Listen Later

Nick, who's sold services his whole career, chats through his first-ever product closed deal. While the transition seems small, there's a ton of nuance that goes into each version of the sales cycle. Especially considering the deal metrics & overall size of the opportunity (1,000+ employees). Nick did his homework, knew his persona in & out, & overcame a few barriers along the way. Hear his story! 

Nick's 3 Sales Takeaways (No Spoilers!):

  1. Get in front of the timeline. Prepare for & confront barriers before they set you back.
  2. Deals are fluid. Listen & adapt. Don't ask a question just to check a box. 
  3. Be creative & interrupt patterns in your outreach. Don't just send 100 emails & call it a day.
