Episode notes
One-Call Close At Outreach
- Outreach compressed micro SMB deals into one-call closes with 10/10/10 minute segments.
- Those micro deals closed in seven days by combining multiple agreements into one meeting.
Use Tests To Validate Priority
- Do use tailored tests (workflow teardown, ROI exercise, tailored demo) to prove priority.
- If stakeholders refuse simple tests, treat it as a deprioritization signal.
Mandate How They'll Evaluate
- Do define evaluation agreement via a mutual action plan and required capabilities.
- Own the buying criteria so the buyer doesn't default to emotion or vendor likability.
