FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS
- Assume your buyer has 60 seconds to pitch your product internally. When sending recaps or justification materials, skip the deck send 2–3 crisp bullets that clearly communicate the top reasons to buy.
- Reset the agenda mid-call if needed. If a buyer jumps straight into content or things go off the rails, pause and suggest how to best use the remaining time. This keeps the call focused and productive.
- Use a “vibey demo” to open, then do deeper discovery later. Morgan starts with a product overview to spark curiosity, then uses the second call to dig into what resonated and why—leading to richer discovery.
- Reverse-engineer problems from product interest. When a buyer reacts positively to a feature, follow up with, “People usually want that because they’re struggling with X or Y—what’s going on in your world?”
