30 Minutes to President's Club | No-Nonsense Sales

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS: Pre-research your subject for a more personalized cold call that makes the interaction intentional and human. It tells them you’ve taken the time to get to know them. Use a permission-based opener to make your prospect feel like they are choosing to speak with you. Deliver your opener with conviction, and bring energy and enthusiasm. Build this as you pre-research because if you believe it, they’ll be more likely to believe it. Execute a 3YU, aka 3 reasons that you are calling that are personal to them, and opens the door for WHY they would want to use your product.

FOUR ACTIONABLE LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS Prep your reps on both what they should get out of the call and how they plan to get it Pay special attention to how your reps nail the first 7 golden minutes, that’s where discovery is made When you’re on that call, listen for anything that you can quantify. Jump in if your reps don’t catch it. Coach to the controllable. Start with the expectations, then hold them accountable.

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS Don't shy away from including images in your prospecting emails, particularly if you sell a visual solution. Add value with a “thinking of you” email in advance of your sales call that shows some examples of what some of their peers are doing with you or what other similar customers are doing. When you open your email using a trigger-based approach, state your observation confidently and then follow it up with an unsure tone question. Example is: “Here's what I've seen your ads look like. Have you ever tried to do X? Use intentionally boring subject lines, like “Podcast Episode” that follow the “internal camouflage” principle.

FOUR ACTIONABLE LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS Cut books by ICP and ARR opportunity — don’t force GEO territories if your ICP is clustered within a few major regions. Pre-carve books for reps to-be-hired and let your current reps squat in the territories until they’re on board. A nickname for a holdover opportunity is a slipped opportunity. Have a policy limiting the holdovers and allow for exceptions based on what’s best for the customer. Your team will remember how you treated them in the magic moments: promotions, 1st and last days, maternity leave, a loss in the family.

The way that you should present the success criteria is to figure out what matters to your customer. Break your accounts and prospects into high-usage and low-usage groups. Coach up your low-usage team, and just ask your high-usage group “How can we get this into the hands of other people.” Consolidate your bill for people in different departments and consolidate the team for prospects in the same department.

Four Actionable Takeaways: Decoy Pricing: $6 (undesirable), $7.50 (acceptable), $8 (just what they need) First 15 seconds explain why you called, say it’s a cold call, then ask a peer question In the agenda, tell the customer you’re gonna give price before they get off the call Use what they want as the rows in your pricing instead of what you want (seats) Belal Batrawy’s Path to President’s Club: Community Leader of #Death2Fluff 7x Startup Seller and Sales Advisor RESOURCES DISCUSSED Join our weekly newsletter Things you can steal

Every 10th episode, we tear down one topic. In this Lead Playbook, we’re talking about team training. FOUR ACTIONABLE LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS It is crucial to focus the initial six weeks of onboarding on heavy immersion and then transition to learning on the job. Use Mark’s Assessment Matrix to understand the cognitive load required for what you want to train and how good you want them to be at that thing you are training for. Training is one of the top things that young reps require, want, and desire. If you don’t have continuing training and coaching, you are not delivering for your talent. A great training program not only allows you to be effective in increasing your team’s results but also increases your value as a leader.

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS Do not go in blind to an inbound lead meeting. Give your prospect a pre-meeting questionnaire to fill out so you can have a far more productive introductory conversation. Blind calendar invites work for reschedules as long you add context such as “Know we’ve been trying to meet. If this time works for you, great! If not, decline the invite and let me know a better time.” Use Taylor's Purpose-Plan-Payoff opener to ensure a strong start to your first call with the buyer. Purpose is “why are we here?” Plan is “how are we going to achieve it?” Payoff is “what's in it for the buyer at the end of the meeting?” Separate interest from need by quantifying the problem. Questions like “is there a specific business objective this maps back to?” or “How have you currently tried to fix this?” will give you a better idea of interest vs. true need.

FOUR ACTIONABLE LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS Spend 30 minutes BEFORE your 1:1's figuring out what you want to coach on Start with the metrics, then use the metrics to figure out what parts of the call you should listen to. Only listen to the parts of a call recording that matter. You can rip through 10 calls if you’re only reviewing the next steps in the last 5 minutes. Double back on the mock discovery.

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS - How can I prevent myself from getting flagged as spam? Avoid as many links as possible in that first email. Stick to just a website link in your signature. Batch your email drafts but cascade your delivery. Time them anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour apart if you’re sending multiple emails to one company. Give your prospect a way to opt-out that does not use the word “unsubscribe”. Use something like “Don’t want to receive these emails anymore?” Warm up your inbox to build your email reputation in the early stages.

Steal Luke’s Territory Planning Spreadsheet FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS When prospecting, start to look for lookalike accounts. For example, if you’re having success with intellectual property law firms, go after more accounts like that. Use the prospecting channel that has the highest likelihood of getting you a meeting and a response. There are three ways that Luke would split up an account with his SDRs: For his AAA-tier accounts, he would personally reach out to all of them. For B-tiers, he splits them up above and below the line with his SDRs. For C-tiers, he lets his SDRs prospect those solo. Don’t show them the whole meal all at once.

Steal Clari’s templates to get your deals closer to close FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS Help your customer build a case for why they shouldn’t be trying to build their software in-house. If you’re having trouble building your own POV, hit up a senior exec at your company and ask to get lunch with them to help you build one. Don’t show up to your first call expecting the customer to do all of the hard work answering your questions. Instead, bring a point of view to the call that introduces a new way of looking at the root cause of a problem you think they might have. If you’re going to an event, use that as an opportunity to test your point of view with other executives.

FOUR ACTIONABLE LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS Split 1:1s and deal reviews — don’t try to combine a professional development chat with a pipeline review! Before a pipe review, ensure your reps pre-select the deals they want to review and prepare win strategy docs, mapping out all key external stakeholders. Beat up the deals with the so-what train. Keep asking so-what to uncover the implication of the pain — until you don’t have an answer anymore, that’s what you need to find out. Two questions to determine if a rep is ready to be a manager: Can they clearly communicate why they’re winning? And are YOU learning from that rep?

Every 10th episode, we tear down one topic. This time, we’re talking about landing your forecast in Q4. Bonus: Get the 30MPC Forecasting Guide ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS The forecast should never be a surprise to your manager. You should be able to give one-sentence pipeline review updates and get through over 15 deals in a 30-minute pipeline review into your forecast. For your forecast, you're going to call your key deals and your worst case and move to your commit, which is your bet on what will actually happen. Play the spread. If your commit consists of one deal landing, you should probably have two to four in inventory. Throughout the month or the quarter, your forecast will start to taper.

Train your team, then establish a coaching rhythm to reinforce the training and a metric to track it. Get your managers bought in otherwise your training will fall flat. Turn your managers into microphones instead of filters. Give your reps multiple ways to get to a “good day” — build a Good Day Framework that assigns points to both inputs and outcomes.

Mark Kosglow's Course FOUR ACTIONABLE LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS Re-evaluate your Q4 incentives. Lots of sales reps aren’t making money now. Throw in SPIFs and kickers that squeeze the juice out of ICP deals or even a $500 referral SPIF for customers. Build your 2024 model for efficiency instead of growth. Sell your CEO, board, or finance team on healthy attainment to keep your best reps fed. They will carry you through a downturn. Consider running hot. Your top sellers will over-perform and make up for a gap in capacity you might have with a bloated team. Get everyone on the same page on healthy growth.

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS Back Pocket Questions - Prepare multiple questions for your sales calls that you can pull out at any time. Use them if you get "stuck" at any point. Strategic Social Proof - instead of simply namedropping customers, use customer story examples that are relevant to how you’d envision your buyer using your service, ex. Having a similar use case. Make Discounting "Weird" - When you get hit with a price objection, your response needs to signal concern/confusion. You want to signal that this request is not biz as usual. Alternative Video Use Cases - Video isn’t just for prospecting. Use video for "pre-call context" + "post-call recaps" + "Exec Summaries" PATH TO PRESIDENT’S CLUB Founder @ 30 Minutes to President’s Club Senior Account Executive @ Time by Ping Enterprise Account Executive @ SurePoint Technologies Account Executive @ Aderant RESOURCES DISCUSSED Join our weekly newsletter Things you can steal

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS Don't put your customer in box. Use "soft" language like "typically", "usually" and "what I've seen". Before holding an intro meeting with a new prospect, mine your ecosystem for inside intel about what they care about & what they're like. Always assume there are multiple decision-makers in a deal (not just 1). Tell the customer upfront who you're NOT for - it actually makes you appear more credible.

FOUR ACTIONABLE LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS Burndown: Every day before the end of the month, make your team put all open deals in a spreadsheet with a two-line update. When you’re rolling out a methodology like command of the message, you can’t stop at the initial training. Every single new product launch needs to be trained in that framework, otherwise, it’s forgotten. Make sure your reps tell you what role you need to play on calls! Your CRO can always freestyle, but they much prefer you tell them what to do. 80% of the upward communications should be focused on the problems you need to solve. Often times your CEO just wants to know that you’re aware of the problems.

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.

Download Jason Bay’s Cold Calling Framework FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS Open a Cold Call with a permission-based opener to get prospects to opt into talking to you. Your tone of voice is key because it’s hard to hang up on a genuinely nice person. Go for the reverse pitch by sharing what is top of mind for their peers. Start with what is relevant to them, not what you’re trying to accomplish. Hook prospects into scheduling the next meeting by finding problems you can solve. Start with the problems they share with their peers. If you know the prospect is a good fit, don’t ask if they want that next meeting at the end of the call.

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS The person asking the questions is the person running the call. While it can feel good to respond to rapid fire questions, make sure you don't lose control of the call by seeking to understand the 'why' behind the question. Objections are opinions. Instead of jumping to overcome them, seek to understand them, by identifying if the objection is rooted in a lack of why change, why now, or why us. Use the 2 minute call prep drill: Call Purpose, Desired outcome, Predict their Pains, Guess Behavior Style. Exchange of information on a sales call should be bilateral, not unilateral. Make the exchange of information equitable by "reversing" (answer a question with a question).
