    ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS Embrace Silence: Don't fear pauses in conversations. It's natural to take a moment to think about your next question or response during a conversation with a prospect. Setting Conditions for Progress: When faced with a contact unwilling to advance your connection, you have two options: Explicitly ask them what conditions need to be met for them to introduce you to a higher-level contact, like a VP of Marketing. Decide whether to follow their criteria or to prospect directly to reach your goal. Groundswell Motion Strategy: In scenarios where a sales cycle starts with an Account Executive (AE), begin by offering assistance to the AE. This approach often leads to reciprocal help, allowing you to eventually ask for an introduction to your champion. Understanding Motives: It's crucial to discern and address two types of motives, your champion's personal motives and the business or executive motives. Educate your champion on these motives and align them with the broader business objectives to facilitate successful sales efforts.

    FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS Pick 5-10 accounts per week and focus all of your energy on them. That might look like sending emails Monday and Wednesday, then going multichannel on Friday. Use email as your hub and other channels as your spokes with your CTA on the other channels pointing back to your email. The email channel can get flooded; get creative with other channels like Twitter. Vin was able to book a meeting off of a backward jump shot. Use email to keep threading throughout your sales cycle. One way to do this is through direct mail.

    FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS Have a prep call with your champion before the demo. Identify who is in the room, what they want to get out of the call, and how past demos have gone. Connect what you’re selling to something that hits the P&L. Get one deep business impact, and tell one story that shows people that you can solve their problem. Get your prospect to tell you a story by using “typically” language to help prompt them with ideas that typically come up. Ensure the problem you are solving is not an isolated incident. Ask: Is this happening frequently, or just a one-off?

"The 1/3" Consider running team training on Fridays to give reps the weekend to digest and when there are fewer distractions The mantras of the Monday morning meeting, if it's the beginning of the month you're talking about top of funnel, if it's the middle of the month you're talking about multithreading, if it's the end of the month you're talking about contracts When doing coaching always ask the rep for their feedback before you give your own so it doesn't feel like an attack and you don't tell them what they already know PATH TO PRESIDENT'S CLUB Founder @ 30MPC VP of Sales @ Pave Director of Sales @ Carta RESOURCES DISCUSSED Join our weekly newsletter Things you can steal
