Prospecting Best Practices:


  1. "That's Exactly Why I Called" Response: Use objections as a reason to keep the conversation going (Sara Uy)
  2. Presuppose the Problem: Start with, "You've probably looked into X before, huh?" to reduce sales pressure and uncover nuance (Josh Braun)
  3. Call Yourself First: Test new phone numbers for spam labeling before dialing prospects (Ken Amar)
  4. Effective Email Structure: Combine business initiatives, industry trends, and triggers for personalized, resonant cold emails (Kyle Coleman)
  5. Heard the Name Tossed Around Opener: Open with network credibility, then focus on problem-centric pitches (from the "Cold Calling Sucks" book)


    6. Discovery & Sales Process Best Practices:


    1. Problem Storytelling: Turn problem agreement into a story by asking, "When did you realize this was a problem?" (Charles Muhlbauer)
    2. The 1–10 Feedback Question: Ask prospects to rate your demo and explore what would make it a 10 (Steven Bryerton)
    3. Don’t Mistake Activity for Achievement: Align sales stages with outcomes (Mark Kosoglow)
    4. Use Labels in Negotiations: Diffuse tension by labeling emotions, e.g., "It seems like you just want to get a good deal," to avoid triggering defensiveness (Chris Voss)
    5. Lead, Don’t Ask, Mid-Cycle: Overcome indecision by offering clear recommendations and removing irrelevant options (Matt Dixon)


      6. Leadership Best Practices:


      1. Invert the Hiring Funnel: Sell candidates on the opportunity first, then test skills later (Hiring Playbook)
      2. Disarming Transparency in Hiring: Share risks and weaknesses with candidates to surface objections early and build trust (Mark Kosoglow)
      3. 20/80 Training Rhythms: Spend 20% of the time introducing new skills and 80% reinforcing them weekly (Training Playbook)
      4. Pipeline Squeeze: Ask key questions (e.g., deal size, close date, buyer awareness) to assess pipeline health and socialize results (John Sherer)
      5. Document the Wiggle (W.G.L.L): Define "what good looks like," then practice targeted scenarios repeatedly for efficiency (Kevin Dorsey)
