About this episode

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

  • Anytime you’re asking about a get — sell why it’s important to the business. IE: You moving faster allows us to get ahead in our heavy implementation season.
  • Assign values to the different “gets” from a customer and put together a slide that walks the customer through these.
  • When turning down bad deals, walk them through how finance wouldn’t ever agree to multi-year flat deal, but how they can achieve a similar outcome with a different commercial structure.
  • If someone slips on a timeline commitment, you might have to honor the number, but you can always ask for another get in return.
