FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

  • Start your executive meetings with the top 2-3 priorities, then be quiet and let them explain why they took your call.
  • At the end of the executive meeting, ask them to sponsor you and make intros to each department lead.
  • Test pricing throughout the sales cycle with each department lead so that when the big proposal lands, it can be justified.
  • Not sure if the deal is a waste of time? Ask: is this above or below the line if your budget gets cut?
