ADVICE

Close Calls With A Five-Minute Drill

  • End every call with a five-minute drill that explicitly asks if they want to buy, when they'd buy, and how they'd buy.
  • Tell them 'typically' how others buy and then validate their specific how.
ADVICE

Always Book The Next-Next Step

  • Always set a next-next step before agreeing to a deep dive or demo instead of giving away extra calls for free.
  • Explain the usual sequence (demo → proposal → exec review) and get agreement on it upfront.
ADVICE

Make Concessions Cost Something

  • Create a cost to negotiation so concessions never come free and every ask forces a trade-off.
  • Use levers like higher upfront payment for lower future pricing to stop negotiation bleeding.
