Episode notes
INSIGHT

Research That Matters

  • Superficial company facts don't make an account plan; they create false confidence.
  • Focus on why the customer should care, not what you found on their website.
ADVICE

Lead With Executives' Objectives

  • Start every internal meeting by restating the executive-level objectives and how you will measure impact.
  • Make the account plan the account's culture by constant reinforcement.
ADVICE

Make Reps Know The Business

  • Force reps to internalize the customer's business: make them state what the company does and how it makes money.
  • Use simple prompts (even post-its) to engrain that habit.
