      <title>#567 - How to Turn Cold Outreach Into Real Conversations | Adia Toll</title>
      <description>In this episode we take how Adia Toll engineered a 72% reply rate by shifting from pitch-first selling to conversation-first prospecting and the exact systems behind it. ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:


  
Grind → optimize → automate (GOAT framework): Manually run your entire outbound motion first, then optimize each step before automating so you scale what actually works.

  
Focus on one metric at a time: Pick a single KPI (like reply rate), reverse engineer it, and ignore everything else until you 10x it.

  
Prioritize conversations over meetings: Start simple, human back-and-forth dialogue first—meetings come easier once rapport is built.

  
Don’t scale bad outbound: Avoid “spray and pray” automation—optimize for quality conversations, not activity volume.




ADIA'S PATH TO PRESIDENT'S CLUB:


  First Sales Hire at AskElephant

  150-250% of Annual Quota as a rep.

  SDR to SDR Manager to Head of Sales Development in 4 years

      <title>#565 - How to Master Social Selling on LinkedIn to Book Meetings | Kade Hinkle</title>
      <description>Kade Hinkle breaks down a repeatable LinkedIn outbound system that turns cold prospects into warm conversations before you ever send the pitch.



🎙️ ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:


  
Use video follow-ups instead of long text: Short, personalized videos cut through inbox noise and make your outreach feel human, leading to higher reply rates from senior buyers.



  
Run the 30 connection rule daily: Sending 30 targeted connection requests per day builds pipeline, increases surface area for conversations, and keeps you top of mind through LinkedIn content.



  
Warm prospects before pitching them: Engage with posts for 1–2 weeks to build familiarity so your eventual outreach feels earned instead of cold.



  
Add value in every outbound message: Share specific ideas, signals, or use cases upfront so prospects get something useful even if they never take the meeting.






KADE'S PATH TO PRESIDENT'S CLUB:


  
Never missed quota. For 10 months straight. 



  
Promoted to Commercial SDR after 7 months 



  
SDR of the year @ Common Room in 2025.

      <title>#563 - How to Build Reps Who Don’t Need You on Every Deal | Jason Miller ft. Unify</title>
      <description>Great sales leaders don’t solve problems, they build reps who can. Jason Miller breaks down how to drive focus, coach real skill gaps, and force critical thinking so your team performs without you in the room.



🎙️ ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:


  
Use “poster vs post-it” to drive focus: Set one team-wide priority (poster) and one hyper-specific behavior per rep (post-it) to avoid overwhelm and actually move performance.

  
Don’t tell reps what to do, make them think first: Ask “what would you do?” before coaching. Then reinforce or correct based on your process to build independent decision-making.

  
Force prep through no-AI deal planning: Require reps to manually map out key calls, questions, stakeholders, and outcomes. Critical thinking before the meeting beats post-call coaching.

  
Size problems with extreme ranges to unlock honesty: Frame questions like “are you closer to a 5% or 70% gap?” to make prospects more comfortable revealing the real impact.

  Reinforce pillars everywhere, not just on callsBake core behaviors (like upfront contracts) into coaching, decks, and workflows so reps can’t skip them.

  Model the behavior you expectLeaders should demonstrate the same frameworks (e.g. upfront contracts, structured thinking) in coaching and team meetings.

  Set “realistic but uncomfortable” goals with proofUse past data + missed opportunities to show exactly how higher targets are achievable.

  Coach leaders with a consistent scoring rubricStandardize feedback (what worked, what didn’t, next steps quality) so performance is measurable and repeatable.

      <title>#559 - Sell The Problem Before You Sell The Product | Keenan</title>
      <description>The Perfect Outbound Sequence Template



Keenan (author of Gap Selling) breaks down a step-by-step framework for prospecting that actually gets responses, focused on leading with problems—not products. Learn how to create intrigue and interest in your outreach, diagnose real buyer pain using problem → root cause → impact, and structure cold emails and calls that force prospects to reflect instead of ignore. If your outreach is getting ghosted, this is the playbook to fix it.



🎙️ ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:


  
Lead with the problem, not your product: If you can’t clearly articulate the exact problem your buyer is experiencing right now, your outreach will get ignored—every time.

  
Create intrigue → then interest (two sales): First, make them stop (“this might be me”), then make them care enough to respond—don’t jump straight into pitching.

  
Use problem → root cause → impact → CTA: Call out the problem, explain why it’s happening, show the business impact, then invite them to solve it.

  
Call out why they haven’t fixed it yet: The real unlock—if you can name the blockers keeping them stuck, you instantly build credibility and get them thinking.

      <itunes:summary>The Perfect Outbound Sequence Template



Keenan (author of Gap Selling) breaks down a step-by-step framework for prospecting that actually gets responses, focused on leading with problems—not products. Learn how to create intrigue and interest in your outreach, diagnose real buyer pain using problem → root cause → impact, and structure cold emails and calls that force prospects to reflect instead of ignore. If your outreach is getting ghosted, this is the playbook to fix it.



🎙️ ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:


  
Lead with the problem, not your product: If you can’t clearly articulate the exact problem your buyer is experiencing right now, your outreach will get ignored—every time.

  
Create intrigue → then interest (two sales): First, make them stop (“this might be me”), then make them care enough to respond—don’t jump straight into pitching.

  
Use problem → root cause → impact → CTA: Call out the problem, explain why it’s happening, show the business impact, then invite them to solve it.

  
Call out why they haven’t fixed it yet: The real unlock—if you can name the blockers keeping them stuck, you instantly build credibility and get them thinking.

      <title>#558 - The 5 Data-Backed Cold Call Scripts to Overcome Any Objection</title>
      <description>Most sales reps try to memorize dozens of objection responses. That’s a mistake.



Just 5 objections make up roughly 74% of what you’ll hear on cold calls.



This episode breaks down those 5 objections and gives you simple, repeatable cold call scripts to handle each one without overthinking it.



The goal isn’t to close on the cold call. The goal is to earn the next step.



Master these 5 objection handling frameworks and you’ll be prepared for the majority of calls you make.

      <title>#557 - How to Run a Perfect Discovery Call (Start to Finish) | Jacob Fleisher</title>
      <description>In this episode of 30 Minutes to President’s Club, Jacob Flesher (Head of Sales at Attention) breaks down a full discovery call framework from start to finish, including how to challenge prospects without killing rapport, uncover true priorities, and run consultative sales conversations that actually convert. You’ll learn how top sellers avoid assumptions, diagnose real problems (not surface-level ones), and navigate modern objections—especially around AI—while building trust and credibility throughout the deal cycle.



🎙️ ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:


  
Anchor your deal to real priority (not “nice-to-have”): If the problem you solve isn’t in their top 1–2 priorities, you’re wasting time—always zoom out and understand where your solution ranks.



  
Sell like a consultant, not a vendor: Stop thinking “how do I sell this product?” and start thinking “how do I solve this problem?”—the deal follows naturally from there.



  
3. Use the “slap in the face rule”: Never answer a question without understanding why it’s being asked—clarify first or risk giving the wrong answer and losing trust.



  
4. Don’t run self-serving discovery: Avoid checklist questions you could’ve researched beforehand—nothing kills a call faster than making the prospect feel like they’re being qualified instead of helped.

      <title>#556 (Trailer) - I Taught A Standup Comedian To Cold Call (Real Dials)</title>
      <description>Full video HERE



What happens when you give a stand-up comedian a sales script and tell him to start cold calling?



Alex Murphy sits down with his brother Andrew (a comedian in Austin) and gives him a crash course in cold calling.



The goal: sell comedy show tickets… using real B2B sales tactics.



First, Alex teaches Andrew the classic AIDA framework — Attention, Interest, Decision, Action — the same framework popularized in Glengarry Glen Ross.



But learning a framework is one thing…



Executing it live on cold calls is another.



So Andrew has one challenge:

      <title>#555 - Discovery Masterclass: Everything You Need to Run a Perfect Discovery Call</title>
      <description>Learn more: https://www.30mpc.com/course/discovery-course

--



ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:


  Structure Your Call in 3 Parts: Great discovery calls have three distinct chapters—(1) the first five minutes to establish credibility and set your PPO agenda (Purpose, Plan, Outcome), (2) the next 20 minutes to uncover meaningful problems while building trust, and (3) the last five minutes to run your Five Minute Drill and determine if it’s worth setting a next step.

  Use Discovery Trees to Guide Questions: Map out your prospect’s problems in four layers—situation, operational pain, executive problem, and business impact. Use simple transitions like “so what?” to climb down the tree, and reverse it when execs start with big priorities. Don’t just ask questions—build a roadmap first.

  Balance Give and Take: If you only ask questions, you’re interrogating. Use playbacks, pile-ons, praise, and parallel stories to add value throughout the call and build trust. Use vertical questions to go deeper on one topic instead of jumping all over the place.

  Run a Tight Five Minute Drill: In the last five minutes, validate if they want to solve the problem, when they want to solve it, and how they buy. Suggest the timeline and buying process based on what you’ve seen work—not what they think they should do. If they’re serious, schedule the next step while you’re still on the call.</description>

      <title>#554 (Trailer) - Don't Sell to Your Champion. Sell THROUGH Them. (2 Real Emails)</title>
      <description>Full video HERE'



The fastest way to reach the executive who can green-light your deal: write the email they’ll actually read.

Nate Nasralla breaks down two real examples of emails you can draft for your champion to forward directly to their boss.

Instead of selling to your champion, write the message so they can sell through them.

Open with a priority the executive already cares about so the email immediately feels relevant.

Use insights from discovery to highlight the tension or bottleneck slowing the team down.

Then close with an executive-level ask—getting their take on a decision, tradeoff, or pilot.

      <title>#553 - How to Run Discovery Without Obsessing Over Questions | Gal Aga ft. Aligned</title>
      <description>Most sellers obsess over asking the perfect discovery question. In this episode, Gal Aga breaks down why great discovery has nothing to do with memorized questions and everything to do with understanding the problem, finding the root cause, and guiding the buying process.



🎙️ ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:


  Focus on the problem, root cause, and impact you need to uncover, not memorizing discovery questions.

  Only prep the first 5–10 minutes with a POV and agenda, then let the conversation flow.

  Bring a point of view from research so buyers feel understood and the discussion starts deeper.

  Treat discovery as something you continue throughout the deal, especially with new stakeholders.


GAL’S PATH TO PRESIDENT’S CLUB:


  CEO &amp; Co-Founder of Aligned

  21 years in B2B sales, including AE, Sales Director, VP Sales and CRO roles

      <title>#552 - Live Cold Calling: Can This Grouchy Old CRO Even Book A Meeting?</title>
      <description>Full video HERE



A seasoned CRO grabs the phone, goes undercover as “Bob Smith,” and makes live cold calls trying to book five connects as fast as possible. No script reading. No brand flex. Just real dials, real objections, and real pressure.

You’ll hear the exact opener that gets people talking, the provocative question that instantly hooks sales leaders, and the “Green Turkey” move that turns any answer into momentum. There’s a meeting booked by backing off instead of pushing, referrals created on the fly, and a few brutal rejections along the way.

If you want to know what cold calling actually sounds like in the wild and what it really takes to generate pipeline on the phone, this episode delivers.

      <title>#551 - How to Ramp Sales Reps to President’s Club Faster | Marcus Chan</title>
      <description>In this sales leadership masterclass, Marcus Chan breaks down a week-by-week ramp plan, real-play coaching system, and time management framework that turns new hires into consistent revenue producers fast.



🎙️ ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:


  
Tee reps up instead of taking over calls: Guide them toward the next talk track rather than jumping in and owning the conversation.

  
Create a parking lot for leadership ideas: Capture thoughts in a 1:1 doc instead of sending reactive Slack messages that distract the team.

  
Make role play part of the culture — not just onboarding: Demonstrate first, give one clear improvement at a time, and practice right after real calls.

  
Show reps what a President’s Club week looks like: Build a clear calendar blueprint so they know how to structure their time to win.


MARCUS’ PATH TO PRESIDENT’S CLUB:


  Sales Leader @ Multiple Orgs (3–110 reps) - Hit President’s Club 9/10 years, drove $190M new business, ran $195M P&amp;L.

  Corporate Sales Professional @ 2 Fortune 500 Companies - Promoted 12x in 8 years, #1 in every role.

  Author &amp; Thought Leader - WSJ Best-Selling Author, featured in Forbes, Yahoo! Finance, Salesforce.

        <![CDATA[<p>In this sales leadership masterclass, Marcus Chan breaks down a week-by-week ramp plan, real-play coaching system, and time management framework that turns new hires into consistent revenue producers fast.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>🎙️ ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:</p>
<ul>
  <li>
<strong>Tee reps up instead of taking over calls:</strong> Guide them toward the next talk track rather than jumping in and owning the conversation.</li>
  <li>
<strong>Create a parking lot for leadership ideas:</strong> Capture thoughts in a 1:1 doc instead of sending reactive Slack messages that distract the team.</li>
  <li>
<strong>Make role play part of the culture — not just onboarding:</strong> Demonstrate first, give one clear improvement at a time, and practice right after real calls.</li>
  <li>
<strong>Show reps what a President’s Club week looks like:</strong> Build a clear calendar blueprint so they know how to structure their time to win.</li>
</ul>

      <title>#550 - How Many Meetings Can I Book Off 6,474 Personalized Cold Emails?</title>
      <description>Full Video HERE



We did the one thing you’re never supposed to do: We tried to blast our entire contact list of 224,000 people.

But instead of sending generic spam, we built a workflow in Clay to automate the deep research usually reserved for one-off emails. The goal? To find sales leaders whose *own reps* were already watching our content, and use that data to send 6,000+ hyper-personalized messages at scale.

In this video, we break down the exact 5-step workflow we used to filter our list, the "Trojan Horse" data strategy we used to personalize every single message, and the honest results of the campaign (including the big mistake that cost us thousands of opens).

ABOUT THIS EXPERIMENT

Most people think you have to choose between "mass blast" and "manual personalization." We wanted to prove you can do both. We took a list of 224,000 followers, threw them into a Clay table to enrich the data, and filtered for Sales VPs with 10+ reps. We then cross-referenced that with our CRM to see which specific reps on their teams were consuming 30MPC content.

The result? An AI-written email that looked 100% human-written, referencing specific employees by name.

Watch to see:

1. How we filtered 224,000 leads down to the top 1% highest intent buyers.
2. The specific AI prompt that references rep names and consumed content.
3. Why running this campaign in December was a massive failure.</description>

      <title>#548 - Executive Sales Masterclass: Close Big Deals At Power (Step-by-Step)</title>
      <description>Close Complex Enterprise Deals by Selling the Problem, Not the Product

Jen Allen-Knuth breaks down how to win executive deals by anchoring every conversation to a strategic objective and building urgency around cost of inaction.

Prospect into the C-suite with a 4-step structure: objective → problem hypothesis → status quo → insight (not a pitch).

Run discovery around objectives, obstacles, current approach, and negative consequences—then close with “Is this worth solving?” and “Is this worth solving now?”

Multithread by aligning on a one-page problem statement, ghostwriting the buying group invite, surfacing deal friction early, and facilitating consensus in the room.

      <title>#547 - Running The Big Team Meeting: 7 Steps to Group Problem Consensus  | Jen Allen-Knuth</title>
      <description>Over the last 12 to 16 weeks, we’ve been sitting down with the one and only Jen Allen-Knuth (2–3 hours per week, plus an entire week of shooting) to build her course: Selling to the C-Suite. This is everything you could possibly need to close a 6–7 figure deal at power. Backed by Gong data of and 1M+ executive-level sales cycles.

https://www.30mpc.com/course/multithreading-exec-selling-course-selling-to-the-c-suite


FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS


  Start by aligning on the problem in the big team meeting and sell your champion on why it’s important.

  At the beginning of the big team meeting present in this order, the problem &gt; the cost of inaction &gt; alternatives which include you.

  In the big team meeting, call out those people who are not voicing their perspectives and create a safe space to air out problems.

  Even if there is consensus, push for one more person to get involved in the deal cycle before making a solution recommendation.

      <title>#546 - Fixing the WORST Cold Call Pitches Known to Man</title>
      <description>Nick Cegelski breaks down why most cold call pitches fail—and how to fix them. Nick explains why generic value propositions packed with buzzwords like optimize, streamline, and AI-powered sound nice but mean nothing to buyers. Instead, he introduces the problem proposition framework: leading with a vivid, emotionally charged problem your buyer actually feels, then briefly showing how you solve it. Through real-world pitch rewrites (including Ramp and Laurel), Nick shows how to ditch marketing jargon, speak in “dumb human language,” and build cold call openings that spark curiosity instead of instant objections.

Through real-world pitch rewrites (including Ramp and Laurel), Nick shows how to ditch marketing jargon, speak in “dumb human language,” and build cold call openings that spark curiosity instead of instant objections.

      <title>#545 - How to Build 11 High-Reply Prospecting Plays You Can Run Today | Prabhav Jain ft. 11x</title>
      <description>AI isn’t replacing sales reps—it’s turning them into force multipliers. Prabhav Jain, CEO of 11x, breaks down how modern sales teams use AI-driven personalization, signal-based outreach, and smarter sequences to book more meetings while spending less time on manual prospecting.



Download the Guide: The Ultimate Three Part Outbound System to accelerate your path to President’s Club



🎙️ ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:


  
Use themed personalization to earn opens: Personal hooks like alma mater, sports, or career milestones grab attention when you cleanly segue into a real business problem.

  
Vary your email structure to avoid fatigue: Rotate formats across sequences short emails, value drops, breakups, and social proof instead of repeating personalization → pitch → CTA.

  
Train AI like a junior SDR, not a magic button: Calibrate ICP, tone, and examples upfront so AI improves fast and scales what actually converts.

  
One thing to do today: run one new play: Pick a single outreach play from this episode and test it immediately—don’t overhaul your stack, just execute and learn.

      <title>#544 - Sales Roleplay: How To Earn an Executive’s Respect in 30 Minutes</title>
      <description>Armand Farrokh and Jen Allen‑Knuth walk through a realistic, unscripted discovery conversation with a senior university security leader. Jen demonstrates a 7-step executive discovery framework, from establishing credibility and anchoring to strategic objectives, to reframing the status quo and closing for next steps, while Armand plays a skeptical, budget-constrained prospect. The video pauses after each step to break down why each question is asked, how to control executive conversations, and how to advance big deals without pitching too early. Ideal for sellers who want to run confident, insight-driven discovery with senior decision-makers.

      <title>#543 - How to Build a Deal Closing Machine With Screenshot References | Krysten Conner</title>
      <description>How top sellers use customer proof to reduce risk, accelerate deals, and close with confidence featuring Krysten Conner’s real world framework for social proof, references, and late stage deal momentum.



🎙️ ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:


  Screenshots beat polished proof: Raw texts, DMs, and unpolished customer messages feel real and instantly lower buyer risk. Use them in prospecting and late stage deals instead of overproduced case studies.

  Stop defaulting to reference calls: Reference calls are the highest effort option. First try screenshots, forwarded customer emails, tailored demos, or CSM intros to answer the real risk behind the ask.

  Prep references to tell the truth: The best reference includes a hiccup and how it was fixed. Perfect stories feel fake. Credible stories close deals.

  One thing to do right now: Spend 30 minutes pinging past customers you built relationships with. No ask. Just a check in. Build your reference list before you urgently need it.




KRYSTEN’S PATH TO PRESIDENT’S CLUB:


  Doing 14X what anyone had done in her territory

  Being #1 in new logo acquisition on her team

  Achieving a 47.6% win rate

      <title>#542 - Sales Email Elimination: 5 Cold Emails. 1 Winner.</title>
      <description>Full YouTube Episode Here



Jen Allen-Knuth puts five real cold emails head-to-head to see which ones actually earn executive attention and which get instantly deleted. Watch as she breaks down subject lines, openers, tone, and CTA mistakes, crowns a single winning email, then rewrites it live using her Problem Prompter framework to show how sellers can stop pitching and start booking meetings with C-suite buyers.



Over the last 12 to 16 weeks, we’ve been sitting down with the one and only Jen Allen-Knuth (2–3 hours per week, plus an entire week of shooting) to build her course: Selling to the C-Suite. This is everything you could possibly need to close a 6–7 figure deal at power. Backed by Gong data of and 1M+ executive-level sales cycles. https://www.30mpc.com/course/multithreading-exec-selling-course-selling-to-the-c-suite

      <title>#541 - The $1M Negotiations That Changed the Way I Sell Forever</title>
      <description>⁠Watch Todd’s Free Negotiation Masterclass⁠

⁠Buy 'Four Levers Negotiating' Here⁠



Todd Caponi is a multi time CRO, award winning author, and one of the leading voices on transparency in sales. And these are the three negotiation moments that changed how he sells forever.



From a used car purchase that went completely sideways, to a seven figure software deal saved at the last second, to a heated pricing argument with an angry marketer, Todd Caponi shares real stories that prove why honesty beats tactics in negotiation.



No gimmicks. No fake leverage. Just clear, human conversations that build trust, reduce discounting, and turn negotiations into collaboration instead of combat.

      <title>#540 - Cold Call Masterclass: The Perfect Script (With LIVE Calls to Prove It)</title>
      <description>We break down the exact cold call script that’s helped book meetings on 1 out of every 3 connects then prove it by making live cold calls on camera.



Armand Farrokh and Nick Cegelski walk through the full cold call framework they’ve used as operators, leaders, and authors of *Cold Calling Sucks (And That’s Why It Works)  from opener, to pitch, to objection handling with real examples and zero theory fluff.



You’ll learn how to use the “Heard the name tossed around” opener to break the telemarketer stigma, why context-first openers outperform permission begging, how to pitch by leading with the problem (not the product), and how to handle objections using the 'Mr. Miyagi method' without sounding pushy or desperate.



Then they pick up the phone and make live cold calls showing exactly how the script holds up in real conversations, where reps usually get stuck, and how tone, confidence, and EQ matter more than saying the “perfect” words.

      <description>Alex Kane brings elite demo mastery to this episode, teaching sellers how to turn every walkthrough into a high-impact, story-driven buying experience that stands out from every other vendor in the cycle.



🎙️ ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:

Run a Reverse Demo: Make them demo their current workflow to expose real pain.

  
Use a Big Team Demo Deck: Align early on what they want to see and why it matters.

      <itunes:summary>Christine Nolan, four-time President’s Club enterprise sales leader at Asana, shares tactical frameworks for multithreading complex enterprise deals by mapping real power, navigating internal politics, and turning champions into organization-wide access.

      <title>#536 - Cold Email Showdown: Rookie Sales Rep vs 10-Year Director</title>
      <description>We put Evan Greek (Commercial AE at Gong) and Florin Tatulea (Head of Sales Development at Common Room) in a cold email cage match: 10 minutes per round, weird prompts, and you have to write something that would actually get a reply. Jason Bay (CEO at Outbound Squad) judges based on [The Reply Method](https://www.30mpc.com/course/cold-email-course) framework. 

Evan and Florin show how they use AI in real time to research accounts and draft highly personalized emails in minutes (not hours), then do the human edits for finishing touches.

      <title>#535 - He Sold A $30M Deal With One Page</title>
      <description>In this episode, Nate Nasralla breaks down the one-page business case framework he used to help close a $30M enterprise deal and multiple seven-figure contracts. He walks through how to structure a one-page document that aligns executives, arms champions to sell internally, exposes deal gaps early, and drives consensus in complex buying groups. Using a real-world IKEA example, Nate shows how to translate problems into executive language, quantify outcomes, and position investment so deals actually move forward.

      <title>#533 - How to Build a Team That Thrives on 700 Cold Calls a Week | Melanie Smith</title>
      <description>Melanie Smith, Head of Sales Development at Nooks, breaks down the exact systems, metrics, and coaching frameworks she uses to run one of the highest-performing SDR teams in outbound. In this episode, she shares KPI structures, call-block strategy, cold-call skill development, and how leaders can scale connect rates, conversation rates, and meeting production without burning out their reps.



🎙️ ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:


  
Weekly SDR readouts: Reps review KPIs and explain every meeting they booked to surface repeatable plays.

  
Use AI for call pattern analysis: Analyze winning call transcripts to find coaching themes and enablement topics.

  
Own rep career paths: Align with other departments and give SDRs projects that build promotion-ready skills.

  
One thing — Call for Intel &amp; Intros: Run an “I&amp;I” block where reps call below-the-line users to gather insights and get warm introductions.




MELANIE’S PATH TO PRESIDENT’S CLUB:


  Scaled team from 10→50 @ Klue, then 4→33 @ Nooks in 18 months

  Top 2 performer @ Klue during 1.5-year tenure before moving into SDR leadership

      <title>#531 - How to Scale Personalized Prospecting with Video (Even in SMB)</title>
      <description>Discover how Vidyard’s #1 AE, Mike D'Aloisio, uses video to humanize every stage of the sales cycle — from first touch to pricing delivery to re-engagement when prospects ghost. In this 30MPC sell interview, learn how to tailor videos to personas, boost meeting show rates, eliminate the “game of telephone” in proposals, and creatively reignite stalled deals using short, high-impact videos that stand out inside crowded inboxes.



🎙️ Actionable Takeaways:


  
Prospecting video formula: &lt;45s → Who you are, why you’re reaching out, value + CTA.

  
Send meeting confirmation videos day-of to humanize yourself and reduce no-shows.

  
Use video for case studies &amp; pricing so your message lands directly with decision makers — not lost via champions.

  
When ghosted, use creativity (even humor/spinning in a chair) to reignite the spark and restart conversations.

      <title>#530 - Negotiation Masterclass: Your Sales Commission Savior</title>
      <description>December deals are different.

Negotiations drag. Legal stalls. Procurement kicks it to January. And your EOQ slips away.

In this Masterclass, Todd Caponi joins Nick and Armand to share strategies from his new book, Four Levers Negotiating. He’ll show you how to flip the script and close what’s left on the table — before the ball drops.

Todd is the founder of Sales Melon, the host of The Sales History Podcast, and an author of award-winning business books. He’s also a C-Level sales leader, and he knows what he’s talking about.

You’ll learn how to win negotiations the moment pricing enters the conversation, use give-get momentum to cut deal times in half, and blast through legal, security, and procurement reviews that usually stall you until Q1.

      <title>#529 - How to Win Enterprise Deals with Compelling Events (Not Volume) | Luke Floyd</title>
      <description>Luke’s CE Hypothesis Template

Luke Floyd breaks down how he stopped “spraying and praying” and started winning large enterprise deals by tracking where urgency already exists. Instead of chasing logos or building volume-based cadences, he prioritizes the 20 accounts most likely to face a compelling event, builds horizontal plays that don’t sound generic, and positions himself “on the bench” before the need arises. Learn how to filter your territory like an investor, predict where opportunity will occur, and become the first call when timing hits. If you want to generate pipeline without brute-force activity—and win larger deals faster—this is the framework.

      <title>#528 - Live Cold Calls: How Many Meetings Can The #1 Sales Trainer Book?</title>
      <description>Jason hits the phones to prospect into sales and enablement leaders, sharing his live approach between each call.

With a 30% connect rate (thanks to Titan X) and 11% conversion, you'll see how Jason handles objections, switches messaging mid-call, and learns in real time.

Think cold calling is hard?

Try doing it live for 90 minutes, under studio lights, in a room with no AC, with a crowd listening to every single word you say.

That’s what the #1 outbound sales trainer, Jason Bay, did to prove he can do more than *teach* cold calling — he can actually get on the phones and *do* it himself.

We rolled the cameras, loaded a list of exclusively executive level prospects he’d never met, and let the chaos unfold.

You’ll hear how he structures his cold calls, adjusts messaging on the fly, and reflects on what could be improved after each conversation. Includes practical takeaways for improving connect rates, objection handling, and setting meetings with senior buyers.

        <![CDATA[<p>Jason hits the phones to prospect into sales and enablement leaders, sharing his live approach between each call.

With a 30% connect rate (thanks to Titan X) and 11% conversion, you'll see how Jason handles objections, switches messaging mid-call, and learns in real time.

Think cold calling is hard?

Try doing it live for 90 minutes, under studio lights, in a room with no AC, with a crowd listening to every single word you say.

That’s what the #1 outbound sales trainer, Jason Bay, did to prove he can do more than *teach* cold calling — he can actually get on the phones and *do* it himself.

We rolled the cameras, loaded a list of exclusively executive level prospects he’d never met, and let the chaos unfold.

Deal velocity is a huge driver of win rates, which is why Armand and I partnered with the easy and effective CRM, Pipedrive, to film a 60 minute video masterclass that covers all of the different ways that you can drive velocity in each individual stage of your sales process. 

Literally, from opening call all the way to contract review, we documented our favorite tactics in this Pipedrive and 30MPC masterclass, which you can get for free right here: https://www.pipedrive.com/en/30mpc-masterclass

Most reps think progress = meetings. Discovery, demo, proposal…❌

In this video, we break down why traditional sales stages like "Discovery → Demo → Power" are actually slowing your deals down — and what top AEs do instead to accelerate pipeline velocity.

Learn the stage-based mindset, how to combine exit criteria, and stop wasting time with meetings that don't move the deal forward.

✅ You'll walk away knowing:
* The 5 critical sales stages — and what *actually* matters in each
* Why meeting ≠ progress (and what to track instead)
* How to combine sales stages to close faster</description>

      <description>Buy "Brief and Brilliant' Here



Turn executive meetings into closed deals with Nate Nasralla’s 4-sentence framework, one-page business case, and proven tactics to speak the language of leadership and win buy-in fast.

🎙️ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:

• Build a 4-Sentence Soundbite: Use Nate’s formula — Because of [shift], now’s the time to [act], to avoid [risk], and unlock [reward] — to frame every deal in language that resonates with decision-makers.
• Create a One-Page Business Case: Summarize the priority, problem, approach, outcome, and investment on a single white page using their metrics and internal language — not your logo or jargon.
• Write “Through” Your Champion: Every email should be forwardable. Write so your internal contact can easily share your message up the chain with clarity and confidence.
• Run Executive Meetings Like a Pro: Set a clear objective, use soundbites as anchors, get problem agreement first, and drive the meeting toward a single decision or blocker removed.

Incite the Riot: Use one-on-one breakout meetings with every stakeholder to surface real pain points and build internal advocates who keep your deal alive.

  
Connect the Dots in the Demo: Tie each person’s problem to the larger business objective and show how your solution solves all of them together.

  
One Thing to Do: Pre-plan questions in your presentations that invite conversation instead of asking, “Any questions?”—this keeps buyers engaged and drives real dialogue.

      <title>#521 - The 7 Deadly Sales Negotiation Sins | Todd Caponi</title>
      <description>Todd Caponi, bestselling author of The Transparency Sale and The Four Levers of Negotiation, breaks down the 7 Deadly Negotiation Sins that cost salespeople deals, margins, and trust. If you think discounting accelerates deals, holding price until you “build value” is smart, or trading discounts for case studies is harmless, Todd’s about to rewire your negotiation mindset. Learn how to close faster, discount less, and build buyer trust using the same transparent negotiation tactics that world-class sellers use to win more and protect their price integrity.



THE 7 DEADLY NEGOTIATION SINS:


  
Waiting to set a price range or expectation: Delaying price discussions kills trust and confuses buyers. Set clear pricing expectations early to establish credibility and value.

  
Believing discounts accelerate deals: Discounts often slow deals by signaling hidden flexibility. Instead, pay customers for mutually valuable timing commitments.

  
Giving away free stuff because you think it doesn’t matter: Every concession tells buyers your price isn’t final. Align every trade to something meaningful using the Four Levers framework.

  
Paying for case studies with discounts: Buying advocacy erodes authenticity. Earn your case studies through real customer success, not transactional discounts.

  
Creating false certainty when clients ask you to “hold pricing”: Avoid rigid yes/no responses. Use transparent negotiation levers to guide timing and reinforce the value behind each date commitment.

  
Talking about value at the goal line: If you’re re-selling value during negotiation, it’s too late. Communicate and reinforce value throughout the sales process before the proposal stage.

  
Anchoring high instead of anchoring to truth: In today’s transparent market, inflated anchors destroy trust. Stick to honest, consistent pricing—because if the truth won’t sell it, don’t sell it.

      <title>#519 - Set Next Steps That Actually Close Deals | Roy Mathew</title>
      <description>Stop losing deals after the demo. Roy Mathew shows how to align every next step to what buyers actually care about. This is next-level sales leadership in action.



🎙️ ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:


  
Calibrate before next steps: Always ask prospects where they stand before suggesting next steps — uncover what’s really going on in their head.

  
Think like a buyer, not a seller: Map out the five key questions buyers must answer before deciding — problem, priority, evaluation, value, and commercial agreement.

  
Game-plan every call: Before a meeting, ask your rep: (1) What’s the goal? (2) What could go sideways? (3) What will success look like and lead to next?

  
Run a “next step workshop”: Block four weekly one-hour sessions, review recorded calls’ final 10 minutes, and score how effectively reps set, calibrate, and confirm next steps.




ROY’S PATH TO PRESIDENT’S CLUB:


  Top 3 revenue producer globally over 4 years @ Airtable across 150+ sellers

  Went from 1st closing role to VP of Sales in ~6 years @ Re:currency

  Surpassed quota for 12 straight quarters @ Airtable

If you’re serious about hitting quota, closing complex deals, and running world-class discovery and demos, this spooky special is your sales survival guide.



The 5 Sales Ghosts (and How to Defeat Them):


  
The Surface-Level Spirit: Your deal vanishes because you’re only finding small annoyances, not six-figure business problems that matter to executives.

  
The Hypnosis Demo: Feature-dumping kills attention — learn how to demo through stories that emotionally hook buyers and make them see their future state.

  
The Single-Threaded Specter: Depending on one champion is a death sentence. Multithread your deals and get power involved early.

  
The Negotiation of a Thousand Cuts: Every tiny discount, seat, or billing term slices your margin. Follow Armand’s 6-step framework to negotiate once and win big.

  
The Vendor Review Pit of Despair: IT and Legal can bury your deal alive. Run parallel reviews, set “redline deadlines,” and use mutual action plans to hit close dates.

      <title>#514 - I Ran a Sales Call For A Product I Never Sold</title>
      <description>In this episode, Armand Farrokh breaks down exactly how to run a discovery call for any product, even one you’ve never sold before. Using a background check software as an example, he shows how to identify real business problems, craft targeted questions, and connect day-to-day pains to executive-level impact that drives urgency.



You’ll learn how to build and navigate a Discovery Tree—a structured path from situation to operational problem to executive impact, using Armand’s proven framework. He also shares “typically” and “magic moment” questions that uncover high-value pain points, helping SDRs, AEs, and sales leaders turn every discovery call into a winning deal.

      <title>#513 - How to Coach Sales Reps Using Metrics That Matter | Shaun Crimmins </title>
      <description>Shaun Crimmins reveals how elite sales leaders simplify the math, build winning rhythms, and coach reps with data-driven precision.

Prepare like a pro—leaders must prep for every 1:1 just as reps prep for customer calls.


SHAUN’S PATH TO PRESIDENT’S CLUB:


  
HubSpot: Helped scale revenue from $60M → $300M, Series D → IPO.

  
Vanta: Scaled revenue from $10M → $100M+, led North America sales team and doubled win rates.

      <title>#512 - Leadership Masterclass: The Sales Management Operating System</title>
      <description>🚨 SAVE $100 ONLY IF YOU JOIN THE COURSE BEFORE 10/17: https://bit.ly/4o8KtMT



Sales managers: No one ever teaches you how to do your job.



If you've ever wondered...



Why are my pipeline reviews useless?



Should I actually hire this person or am I gonna have to fire them in three months?



Guess what?



You're probably a little bit like me and you had to figure out this stuff from scratch.



Well, fortunately, I've partnered up with the best sales leader in the game today, Mark Kosoglow.



He led Outreach from $0-250M ARR and has turned 8 managers into VPs of Sales.



All through his sales management operating system.



It is the gold standard for how to be a sales leader in three steps:



1. The Operating System: Everything from how you forecast, to how you drive a deal through your pipeline, to how your AE should prospect.



2. The Operating Rhythm: How do you make sure your reps are actually doing the system through deal reviews? Team meetings and one-on-ones.



3. The Talent System: How do you hire people who are so good that they literally make you look like you don't have to do anything for your job?



That is what we cover in the Sales Management Operating System course.



I guarantee it will be the best sales management resource you've ever used in your life.

Sales hiring is broken—and here's how to fix it. If you've ever felt like your pipeline reviews are useless or your forecast is just a wild guess, you're not alone. Most sales managers are never taught how to actually hire great reps—until now. In this game-changing video, we break down a bulletproof 4-step hiring system used by Mark Kosoglow, former VP of Sales at Outreach, who scaled it from $0 to $250M+ ARR and developed 8 sales managers into full-fledged VPs.



We reveal why most sales hiring strategies over-index on experience instead of traits, and how you can flip your process to uncover high-performing reps who thrive in ambiguity, have coachability, grit, passion, and more. Learn the nine essential traits that actually drive results and discover the interview playbook that uncovers them all.



Whether you’re building your first team or trying to fix a broken one, this video will reshape how you think about hiring in sales—forever.

      <title>#508 - I Got Promoted to VP of Sales at 29. Here’s how.</title>
      <description>This Is Why Everyone Else Is Getting Promoted Faster

Wondering why you’re stuck while your peers keep getting promoted? It’s not about tenure or luck—it’s about strategy. In this video, we break down the hard truth behind why others are getting promoted faster than you. Based on the career journey of a former VP of Sales who jumped multiple levels by age 29, you’ll get a clear 4-step framework that helps you outperform, gain leverage, and control your own promotion path.

If you’re tired of waiting your turn, or feel like your hard work isn’t being recognized, this is your wake-up call. Learn how to become undeniable, run your own promotion “sales cycle,” and make it impossible for leadership to overlook you. Perfect for SDRs, AEs, and any high-performer in a competitive sales org.

      <title>#507 - Creative deal structure that buyers can't resist  | Mark Kosoglow</title>
      <description>Huge Announcement 👉 Our next course is here: The Sales Management Operating System



Free Launch Event: Mark will walk you through his entire system, for free. You’ll walk away with more tactical leadership training in that hour than most paid courses deliver.



🎟️ Reserve Your Ticket: https://hubs.li/Q03L52Mc0



Discounted Pre-Order Access: By signing up for the event, you’ll unlock early access to our upcoming Sales Leadership Course, at the lowest price it'll will ever be.



Exclusive Toolkit: Everyone who shows up live gets access to the Sales Management Advanced Implementation Playbook, the exact internal systems Mark used to scale Outreach from $0 → $250M. This playbook has never been shared publicly. Live attendees only.



What You Need To Know:



Most new managers lead off gut — finger-in-the-air forecasting, feast-or-famine teams, and hiring that’s a coin flip.



This course fixes that.



You’ll learn the exact systems Mark Kosoglow used to scale Outreach from $0 to $250M ARR and coach 8 managers into VPs:



→ The Operating System to build a bulletproof sales process

→ The Operating Rhythm to get every rep performing like your #1

→ The Talent System to hire and ramp reps who actually hit quota



If you don’t have a system, leadership feels like firefighting.



If you do, it becomes your biggest multiplier for revenue and career growth.



Register FREE → https://hubs.li/Q03L52Mc0

---

To celebrate the launch of Mark's new leadership course, please enjoy a throwback to his SECOND EVER episode on 30MPC from all the way in 2023.



Four Actionable Takeaways: 


  B2C Mall Sales Hustle: Show them what their world looks like with your product RIGHT NOW.

  When they prompt a creative deal term, say yes first, but then ask: “Does that mean you’ll buy now?” If not, keep digging.

  Good creative deals lose in the short term but win in the long term. You might take the buyout hit today, but that’s ok if you keep the customer for 3 years.

  When a customer asks for new product guarantees in a contract, ask: “Is what you want to be built really preventing you from achieving the result that you want?”</description>

Sales training that doesn't suck is rare—but it doesn't have to be. In this module, you'll learn how to design a sales training program that actually drives behavior change and delivers results. We break down the difference between training and coaching, how to reinforce skills using your existing rhythms, and how to track if your sales training is actually working.

You'll learn how to avoid the trap of 48-hour death-by-PowerPoint kickoffs, and instead create training that reps engage with, remember, and use. We cover the sales enablement matrix, cognitive load, and how to build mastery-level programs that fit your quarter without overwhelming your team.

Whether you're a VP of Sales, frontline manager, or enablement pro—this video will give you the blueprint for training that transforms performance.

→ Learn the coaching rhythms that drive rep accountability
→ Discover how to dose enablement without overload
→ Build documentation that makes you a legendary leader

The most confusing objection in cold calling isn’t loud — it’s subtle, sneaky, and deadly to your deal. If you’ve ever had a prospect say “we already have something for that,” but it turns out they don’t… this is for you. In this video, I break down the exact 3-step framework I use to handle confusing objections like a pro — without pitching too soon or losing control of the call. You'll learn how to agree, ask the right trap question, and sell the test drive — turning confusion into clarity. I also share real talk tracks and breakdowns from my time leading teams at Pave, where this objection came up every single day. If you're in sales, you must know how to handle this.

The most confusing objection in cold calling isn’t loud — it’s subtle, sneaky, and deadly to your deal. If you’ve ever had a prospect say “we already have something for that,” but it turns out they don’t… this is for you. In this video, I break down the exact 3-step framework I use to handle confusing objections like a pro — without pitching too soon or losing control of the call. You'll learn how to agree, ask the right trap question, and sell the test drive — turning confusion into clarity. I also share real talk tracks and breakdowns from my time leading teams at Pave, where this objection came up every single day. If you're in sales, you must know how to handle this.

To celebrate the launch of Mark's new leadership course, please enjoy a throwback to his FIRST EVER episode from May 2021.



Four Actionable Takeaways: 


  Send a quick video after a big team demo instead of the 17 page deck.

  Mark-up your case study with key takeaways before sending to the prospect.

  Pain Statement: Despite A we can’t do X which means we don’t get Y as measured by Z.

  Avoid the massive 8 person exec demo and opt to multi-thread instead.</description>

What if you could plug into the same sales system that helped scale from $0 to $250M ARR? In this video, I reveal the $250M ARR Operating System — a proven, stage-based framework to close deals faster, shorten sales cycles, and turn your team into a revenue machine.

Most sales teams run meetings. Elite teams drive decisions. This framework flips the traditional sales process on its head — from "demo, proposal, close" to a strategic, decision-based system that accelerates buying.

You'll learn:
✅ Why meeting-based sales processes fail
✅ The 5 core sales stages behind $250M in closed revenue
✅ How to reduce calls, compress time, and forecast accurately
✅ A framework your reps will actually follow

Whether you're a founder, sales leader, or rep — this system is battle-tested and built to scale.

      <title>#502 - Software Demo Secrets That Instantly Close Deals</title>
      <description>Struggling to move deals forward after group demos? In this video, sales expert Nick Cegelski reveals a proven software demo process that keeps prospects engaged and drives real buying conversations. Discover what elite sellers do before and after a demo to build trust, personalize the experience, and win over every key stakeholder.



You’ll learn why cold demos fail, how to warm up the room with pre-calls, and how post-demo follow-up can unlock true multithreading. Whether you're in SaaS sales, B2B tech, or enterprise deals, these software demo tips will help you close faster and more consistently. Perfect for AEs, SDRs, and anyone leading complex sales cycles. 



Stop winging your demos. Start winning them.



🎙️ ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:


  
Call attendees before the demo – Don’t walk into a cold room. Reach out 1:1 to every person on the invite list to get their agenda and run mini discovery.

  
Build personal connections – Use those pre-demo calls to create rapport and uncover hot-button issues you’d never get in a big group setting.

  
Get immediate post-demo feedback – Call your champion and key stakeholders right after the demo to capture real reactions and uncover next steps while it’s fresh.

  
Follow up individually, not just with a group recap – Send a tailored 1:1 follow-up email to each stakeholder to spark deeper conversations, create new champions, and drive true multithreading.

      <itunes:summary>Huge Announcement 👉 Our next course is here: The Sales Management Operating System

🎟️ https://www.30mpc.com/episodes/the-sales-management-operating-system

🎟️ https://www.30mpc.com/episodes/the-sales-management-operating-system

What you need to know:

Most new managers lead off gut — finger-in-the-air forecasting, feast-or-famine teams, and hiring that’s a coin flip.

This course fixes that. You’ll learn the exact systems Mark Kosoglow used to scale Outreach from $0 → $250M ARR and coach 8 managers into VPs:

→The Operating System to build a bulletproof sales process
→ The Operating Rhythm to get every rep performing like your #1

If you don’t have a system, leadership feels like firefighting.

If you do, it becomes your biggest multiplier for revenue and career growth.

      <title>#501 - We Already Have A Vendor for that Objection</title>
      <description>Learn how to expose weaknesses in your competitor’s solution, position your product as the smarter choice, and win more meetings on cold calls.



🎙️ ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:


  
Expose the competitor’s gap: Highlight the pain points your prospect might not have noticed in their current solution to create urgency.

  
Leverage social proof: Use customer stories where others switched from a competitor to validate your claims without sounding pushy.

  
Reframe the ask: Instead of forcing a hard sell, invite prospects to simply “take a look” at what’s out there—low pressure, high impact.

  
Balance empathy with confidence: Acknowledge that they might not switch today, but confidently plant the seed that your solution solves a problem their current vendor doesn’t.

      <title>#499 - 7 Tactical Ways to Close Your Deals Faster (Without Being Pushy)</title>
      <description>Time kills all deals—but it doesn’t have to. In this episode, you’ll learn 7 tactical plays you can use right now to compress your sales cycle, keep momentum high, and close deals faster without being pushy.



🎙️ ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:


  Always anchor next steps immediately after a meeting—sooner than they expect—to keep deals moving.

  Work multiple steps in parallel instead of waiting on a slow, linear process.

  Build trust early by calling demo attendees ahead of time for mini-discovery and alignment.

  Use creative momentum-builders (mini-demos, exec-to-exec notes, timeline tests) to remove dead time and accelerate decisions.

      <title>#498 - My Honest Career Advice for Aspiring Tech Sales Reps </title>
      <description>Nick Cegelski and Armand Farrokh tackle the biggest sales career questions—from landing your first SDR role to earning promotions, breaking into SaaS, and accelerating your path to President’s Club.



🎙️ ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:


  
Stand out in interviews by skipping “spray and pray” applications—network with reps, cold email leaders, and show you can sell your way into the process.

  
Know when to stay or move on by evaluating the “four pillars”: learning, earning, growing, and connection. If only two are strong, it’s time to leave.

  
Avoid career-stalling habits like job-hopping for small pay bumps or choosing companies with poor growth. Prioritize strong leadership and investor backing.

  
Accelerate your career trajectory by shadowing top performers, over-indexing on work ethic early, and self-educating on both sales skills and your target industry.

      <title>This Cold Call Opener Has a 50% Success Rate | Bite-Sized Tactics</title>
      <description>Stop losing calls at “not interested.” In this video, you’ll learn a simple, agree-first pattern break that lowers resistance, keeps prospects talking, and earns permission to continue—without sounding pushy. We’ll also show you how to tune the delivery so it lands across regions and seniority levels, plus a quick practice plan so this flows on live calls.

What you’ll learn:


  The agree-first pattern break that flips “no” into “go on”

  Two follow-up nudges that lower defenses (playful and serious variants)

  How to tune your delivery for different regions/roles (e.g., Germany vs. US; execs vs. ICs)

  Why people reject salespeople but respond to humans—and how to signal that fast

  A quick practice routine to make this feel natural on live calls

      <title>#497 - Get Past ANY Gatekeeper with This Proven Cold Call Script</title>
      <description>Learn 3 proven cold call tactics to get past any gatekeeper and reach decision-makers without lying, pitching, or wasting time. These step-by-step strategies will help you control the conversation, boost your connect rate, and book more meetings.



🎙️ ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:


  
Adopt the “owner” mindset: Approach gatekeepers with confidence and authority—don’t over-explain, pitch, or try to befriend them. Your demeanor should signal that you belong.

  
Use the Triple Bypass Method: Start with the Slide By (simple ask to be connected), then provide Context (reason for calling without pitching), and finally lean on Social Proof (reference similar clients or prior outreach).

  
End with questions to stay in control: Always finish responses with a question like, “Would you let him know it’s Nick?” so you guide the conversation instead of letting the gatekeeper take charge.

  
Know when to pivot: If blocked repeatedly, don’t force it—try mobile numbers, off-hours calls, or different channels (email, LinkedIn, direct mail, referrals) to reach your prospect directly.

      <title>#496 - 8 Powerful Lessons That Separate Good Sales Leaders from ELITE Ones </title>
      <description>Leadership in sales isn’t just about hitting quota — it’s about building standards, setting culture, and developing people. In this episode, the hosts share 8 hard-earned sales leadership lessons that shaped how they hire, coach, and manage winning sales teams.



🎙️ ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS


  
If it’s not a “hell yes,” it’s a no — never settle for average hires.

  
Proof of performance over theory — test real execution, not hypotheticals.

  
Follow the 2–2 rule — flip two reps, hire two culture-setters, cut two misfits.

  
Let reps fire themselves — set clear standards early so underperformers opt out.

  
More reps ≠ more revenue — don’t over-hire if your lead pool doesn’t grow.

  
Protect focus time — stop expecting instant Slack replies; create deep work blocks.

  
Use the 20/80 rule in training — 20% teach, 80% reinforce until it sticks.

  
Give grace on first mistakes — support reps when they slip, then enforce standards.

      <title>How To Handle ANY Objection On A Cold Call: 3 Steps | Bite-Sized Tactics</title>
      <description>Armand covers the 3 steps to handling any objection using the Mr. Miyagi Method. Here’s the magic framework:


  Agree with the objection to remove the pressure of the sale.

  Incentivize conversation to get them sharing more about the objection.

  Sell the test drive. What will they get out of meeting with you (or in this case, allowing the name drop) even if they don’t buy?

      <title>#495 - The #1 Negotiation Principle That Makes Your Buyer Commit FIRST</title>
      <description>Too many sellers give discounts before securing commitments, leaving deals vulnerable and dragging negotiations on for weeks. In this episode of 30 Minutes to President’s Club, we show you how to execute negotiations in three simple steps: confirm you’re the vendor of choice, lock down your customer’s timeline, and only then and only then, execute the give-get.



🎙️ ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS


  
Confirm Vendor of Choice: Before negotiating, make sure your prospect would choose you over competitors if pricing were equal.

  
Lock Down the Timeline: Secure a firm commitment on when the deal will close before offering any concessions.

  
Flip the Give-Get Paradigm: Always get something in return (budget clarity, contract terms, faster close) before giving discounts or changes.

  
Force Trade-Offs: Every concession has a cost—package pricing, terms, and conditions together so your customer makes real choices instead of endless asks.

      <title>#492 - Build a Sales Team That Hits President’s Club Every Year | Marcus Chan </title>
      <description>Sales leadership expert Marcus Chan reveals the exact systems and rhythms that turn average reps into Presidents Club winners. From personal success blueprints to “Real Play Fridays,” you’ll learn how to build trust, reduce turnover, and create a culture of consistent high performance.



🎙️ ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:


  
Winning Wednesdays — Lock in a one-hour training every Wednesday, led by you, a top rep, or a manager (not just enablement).

  
Real Play Fridays — Two hours of live, intense practice scenarios with real buyer personas (e.g., your CFO if you sell to CFOs).

  
Monthly War Rooms — Four hours focused on moving stalled deals forward or closing them out, with live calls and strategy in the room.

  
Action Item — Find your company’s buyer persona, buy them lunch, and role play how they’d buy your product to sharpen your team’s approach.


MARCUS’ PATH TO PRESIDENT’S CLUB:


  Sales Leader @ Multiple Orgs (3–110 reps) - Hit President’s Club 9/10 years, drove $190M new business, ran $195M P&amp;L.

  Corporate Sales Professional @ 2 Fortune 500 Companies - Promoted 12x in 8 years, #1 in every role.

  Author &amp; Thought Leader - WSJ Best-Selling Author, featured in Forbes, Yahoo! Finance, Salesforce.

      <title>#491 - How ELITE Sales Reps Structure Their Day to WIN Productivity</title>
      <description>Discover the exact time-blocking strategy top sales reps use to crush quota, maximize prospecting hours, and keep pipeline full, without burning out. This episode walks you through proven calendar management principles, the green/yellow/red hours system, and the four-step framework that guarantees consistent prospecting and closing success.



🎙️ ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:


  
Front-Load Your Most Difficult Sales Activities: Complete your hardest, most energy-draining tasks, like cold calling, first thing in your “green hours” (8–12) to ensure you hit your daily prospecting goals before distractions hit.

  
Use Parkinson’s Law to Time-Block for Efficiency: Assign strict, realistic time blocks for each task to prevent work from expanding and eating into prime selling hours.

  
Stack Similar Sales Activities to Maintain Momentum: Group calls, research, emails, and admin into dedicated blocks to avoid costly context-switching and keep your energy focused.

  
Follow the Green/Yellow/Red Hour System: Green hours (prospecting), yellow hours (customer calls), and red hours (admin) keep your day optimized for revenue-generating activities and prevent pipeline starvation.

Unlock the cold call script that top reps use to book 1 meeting for every 3 connects. In this episode of 30 Minutes to President’s Club, Armand Farrokh reveals the exact 3-part approach that makes cold calls feel warm and leads to more meetings without sounding like a telemarketer.



🎙️ ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:


  
Use the “Heard the Name Tossed Around” opener to bypass resistance and make cold calls feel like warm intros.

  
Lead with a Problem Proposition focus on the problem your prospect cares about, not your product features.

  
Apply the “Mr. Miyagi” objection method by agreeing first, asking trap questions, and guiding prospects to realize gaps themselves.

  
Sell the Test Drive, not the product—invite prospects to try or explore, not sit through a heavy demo.

      <title>#488 - How to Close Bigger Deals by Doing LESS in the First Call | Steven Bryerton </title>
      <description>📧 Cold Email Course: http://bit.ly/44K6jy3

☎️ Cold Call Course: https://bit.ly/4jqQ4w2

🔮 Discovery Course: https://bit.ly/4cQYaM8

🛠️ Free Toolkits: http://bit.ly/4nZwvO5



Steven Breyerton, SVP of Sales at ZoomInfo, reveals how he took his team from transactional closes to enterprise-level deals by rethinking win rates, redefining SDR comp plans, and operationalizing deeper discovery. This episode is a tactical roadmap for sales leaders ready to level up their pipeline and close bigger, higher-quality deals.



🎙️ ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS


  
Track win rates by time cohort (T0, T1, etc.) to diagnose deal velocity, rep behavior, and coaching opportunities across segments.

  
Incentivize quality over quantity in SDR comp plans by weighting toward qualified meetings and multi-threading efforts instead of raw meeting volume.

  
Adopt frameworks like MEDDPICC (ICE-first) to strengthen discovery and identify pain, champions, and economic buyers early in the sales cycle.

  
Segment daily metrics by segment type (SMB vs. enterprise) to ensure appropriate pacing, forecasting accuracy, and ASP growth strategies.

      <title>Use This Brutal Negotiation Tactic To Outsmart Tough Buyers | Bite-sized Tactics</title>
      <description>If you're constantly getting lowballed or ghosted at the end of the month, you're not alone. In this video, we break down real B2B sales negotiation tactics that helped close a full-price deal—despite a relentless buyer pushing for discounts across five separate calls.

Learn:


  How to handle discount shoppers who negotiate for sport

  When (and how) to offer a discount without losing leverage

  The “exploding deadline” strategy that savvy reps use to keep deals moving

  The “jar” analogy for squeezing the most value in a negotiation

      <title>#487 - 8 INSANE Sales Negotiation Stories You Won’t Believe Are True </title>
      <description>📧 Cold Email Course: http://bit.ly/44K6jy3

☎️ Cold Call Course: https://bit.ly/4jqQ4w2

🔮 Discovery Course: https://bit.ly/4cQYaM8

🛠️ Free Toolkits: http://bit.ly/4nZwvO5



In this episode, Armand and Nick break down 8 of the toughest, most painful negotiation battles they’ve ever faced — and the exact moves that helped them win (or lose) those deals. From wild buyer tactics to massive pricing mistakes, you’ll learn how to hold the line and close like a pro.



🎙️ ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS


  
Anchor high, then shut up: Start with a bold number and let the buyer be the first to speak — you’ll often land a better deal than if you start discounting yourself.

  
Always get the “full and final ask: Force buyers to put all their requests on the table at once so they can’t chip away at you with 5K here and 10K there.

  
Flip the polarity by walking away: Instead of acting desperate, suggest the buyer take the competitor’s deal — this creates FOMO and often gets them to come back to you.

  
Never give a discount without a deadline: Tie every concession to a firm timeline or commitment — otherwise, you lose all your leverage and the deal drags forever.

      <title>#486 - 8 BRUTAL Discovery Lessons That Will SAVE Your Next Deal</title>
      <description>📧 Cold Email Course: http://bit.ly/44K6jy3

☎️ Cold Call Course: https://bit.ly/4jqQ4w2

🔮 Discovery Course: https://bit.ly/4cQYaM8

🛠️ Free Toolkits: http://bit.ly/4nZwvO5



Armand and Nick share the 8 most painful discovery lessons they had to learn the hard way, so you don’t have to. From broken agendas to botched first impressions, this is the real playbook for leveling up your first call.



🎙️ ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS


  
Ditch the interrogation-style discovery. Use each answer to guide your next question and go deeper instead of jumping topics.

  
Lead with respect, not small talk. Top sellers prove they’ve done their homework in the first 90 seconds to earn credibility fast.

  
Set a PPO agenda (Purpose, Plan, Outcome) early. It prevents the prospect from hijacking the call and builds trust through structure.

  
Qualify before you demo. Ask: “Do you want to buy?” and “When do you want to buy?” before setting next steps or booking another call.

      <title>#485 - How to Write Cold Emails That Get Replies | Cold Email Problem + Value Framework</title>
      <description>Huge Announcement 👉 Our next course is here: The Reply Method for Double Digit Replies

Learn more + get free toolkits here: https://www.30mpc.com/course/cold-email-course

What you need to know:

A great cold email system gets you more replies, from better prospects, in less time — and it works even when you're not perfect.

That’s what this course teaches: how to write cold emails that feel personal, without spending hours customizing. How to craft offers that actually get responses. How to sequence, follow up, and stand out in crowded inboxes.

Teams that master this skill consistently book more meetings than teams that don’t — no matter the industry.

If you don’t have a system, cold email becomes a grind with diminishing returns.

If you do, it becomes your most consistent pipeline lever.

—

Most cold emails get ignored because sellers talk about the product—not the prospect’s problem.

In this module from the Cold Email Course: The Reply Method for Double Digit Replies, you’ll learn how top reps write cold emails that actually get responses by focusing on problem-first messaging.

📬 Based on data from 85M+ emails and trusted by reps at Gong, Zoom, and Shopify, this lesson walks you through how to:


  Avoid vague, robotic, or product-heavy language

  Use the “Problem + Value” framework to connect with buyers fast

  Write cold emails in minutes using simple plug-and-play formulas

  Increase reply rates with social proof and human-sounding copy


You’ll also learn 3 proven frameworks to follow to make your messaging stick.

This is the playbook top reps are running right now.

Implement the “Minimum Viable Framework”: Use a 4-part cold email formula—Reason, Problem, Value/Social Proof, and CTA—and design 2–3 sequences per persona level (above vs. below the power line).

  
Train in Sprints, Reinforce Weekly: Use shuttle-run style onboarding (short lessons + rep practice) and embed weekly cold email reviews in team meetings and 1:1s.

  
Track the “Golden Three” Metrics: Monitor open, reply, and meeting rates—fix subject lines/deliverability before copy, and AB test specific steps instead of restarting entire sequences.

Email Example #1 (EdTech): Director of Curriculum &amp; Instruction

Subject: WCUS achievement gaps
Hi Betty, Providing ”multiple tiers of instruction and intervention” was a big priority mentioned in WCUS’s annual report. Eliminating achievement gaps is tough, especially when you need to meet the needs of a diverse learning population. We’re helping school districts in the Pacific Northwest eliminate student inequity and achievement gaps to increase student readiness and graduation rates. Can I share more? 



Sean



Email Example #2 (Automated welding solution) : VP of Operations



Subject: Welders
Hi Luke, Saw hiring MIG welders and looks like there’s a lot of manual rework and touch up in your welds. Recruiting and retaining top talent likely a top priority, but the lack of skilled welders in the marketplace right now can cause big production bottlenecks. Hitch manufacturers like CURT are using our help to overcome the welder shortage and produce consistent, high-quality welds. Interested in chatting further?

What you need to know:

A great cold email system gets you more replies, from better prospects, in less time — and it works even when you're not perfect.

That’s what this course teaches: how to write cold emails that feel personal, without spending hours customizing. How to craft offers that actually get responses. How to sequence, follow up, and stand out in crowded inboxes.

Teams that master this skill consistently book more meetings than teams that don’t — no matter the industry.

If you don’t have a system, cold email becomes a grind with diminishing returns.

If you do, it becomes your most consistent pipeline lever.

—

Cold email isn't dead—but most sales teams are doing it wrong. In this tactical episode, Jason Bay and Armand Farrokh break down how sales leaders can revive cold email performance with a structured, data-backed approach that actually books meetings.

—

We analyzed 85 million cold emails with Gong to find what actually gets replies in 2025. In this episode, Nick and Jason break down the exact cold email structure, CTAs, and personalization tactics top reps are using to book more meetings.



🎙️ ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:


  
Use The Reply Method framework: 4-sentence emails under 100 words outperform longer messages—make it skimmable, mobile-first, and frictionless to reply.

  
Avoid pitch language: Buzzwords and product-first copy reduce replies by up to 57%. Lead with problems your buyer already cares about, then layer in social proof.

  
Personalize to the company or activity: Personalization = 5x replies, but not all types are equal—company and activity-based personalization outperform personal trivia.

  
Offer something valuable in your CTA: Replace “Are you free?” with a compelling offer—benchmarking, expert insights, or 1:1 value that justifies a meeting even if they don’t buy.

  Stop wasting time on personalization that doesn’t get seen

      <title>#480 - How Top Sales Leaders OWN Negotiations Without Owning the Deal | Maryana Kessel</title>
      <description>4 Steps To Run A Pipeline Review (That Doesn't Suck)

Connect With Maryana on LinkedIn



Maryana Kessel shares a masterclass on how elite sales leaders drive revenue by staying deal-close, asking hard questions, and building trust across every stage of the enterprise sales cycle.



🎙️ ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:


  
Lead from the Front: Maryana emphasizes being present in deals, not as a “super rep,” but as a strategic leader who earns respect by staying close to customers and reps.

  
When in Doubt, Get on a Plane: Big deals get unstuck in person. Face-to-face time with buyers breaks down barriers and uncovers the real story behind stalled negotiations.

  
Forecast with Evidence, Not Hope: Deals don’t hit the forecast without executive alignment, a redline back, and a clear go-live timeline. Anything else is just noise.

  
Build a weekly report of key meetings, and proactively ask reps critical questions about their biggest deals. Use this to decide where to engage directly and ensure rep readiness.

      <title>#478 - How to Get Replies from Cold Prospects? Stop Pitching. Use These 3 Offers Instead.</title>
      <description>Reply rates drop by 44% if you ask for this in cold emails…You want your buyers time, but its the worst thing to ask for if you want to get the meeting…

The key to getting replies and winning deals—even from buyers who aren’t actively looking—is to make the conversation worth their time regardless of whether they buy by offering value instead of asking or time. When you lead with insight or ideas tailored to their priorities, you earn trust and avoid being seen as just another vendor. These 3 offers actually convert:


  Pitch The Blind Date

  

  1:Many Offer




  

  1:1 Offers.





Cold emails that give, get replies.

      <title>#477 - How He Gets His Reps on The Sales Floor 2x Faster Than You | Kyle Asay</title>
      <description>Forget endless product certifications. Kyle Asay shows you how to get reps talking to buyers (and generating pipeline) in two weeks — so you can crush quota with a team that stands on its own.



🎙 ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:


  
Know your territory: Teach reps to tier accounts simply (A, B, C) so they focus only on the right targets first.

  
Know your personas: Use real personas (e.g., actual engineers or CFOs) to train reps directly, not just persona cards.

  
Know your stories: Equip reps with customer stories that match problem, size, and industry — start with problem first if you can’t get all three.

  
One thing to do: Update your win announcements (Slack, email, etc.) to include how the win happened (language used, objections handled, insights), not just celebrate it.

      <title>Sales Onboarding Strategy That Cut Time To First Sale by 49% | Bite-sized Tactics</title>
      <description>Most orgs spend weeks training reps on the product… but months later, you’re still stuck with an empty pipeline. What if the key to ramping AEs faster was skipping product training (at first)?

Kyle Asay (VP Global Growth Sales @ LaunchDarkly) shares how his team cut time to first deal by 49% by rethinking onboarding.

Instead of starting with feature dumps, they focused on:

✅ Account prioritization

✅ Customer problems &amp; personas

✅ Story-based selling

If you lead a team or are ramping yourself, don’t miss this one.

      <title>#476 - The Secret to Writing Better Cold Emails in Half the Time with AI | Sean O’Brien</title>
      <description>Steal Sean’s Secret to Using AI For Your Cold Emails



Sean O’Brien breaks down how to leverage AI to rapidly research prospects and write personalized cold emails that cut your outreach time drastically, so you can send smarter, more effective messages that get real replies.



🎙 ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:


  Use insights from sales calls and transcripts to train AI on key buying triggers and improve your outbound outreach.

  Focus your outreach within the same department, get explicit opt-in, and use “off the record” questions to uncover sensitive, valuable info about the buying process.

  Parrot your prospect’s exact words in email subject lines and messaging for higher engagement and authenticity.

  Don’t hesitate to have different team members send the same message to a prospect—sometimes a new voice gets the response you didn’t.

      <title>#475 - Why Sales Leaders Get Fired: A Sales Metrics Masterclass | Lead Playbook</title>
      <description>Most sales leaders don’t get fired for missing the number, they get fired for not knowing why. In this episode, Armand and Mark walk through the exact metrics framework you need to diagnose problems, report up, and actually run your revenue org.



🎙 ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:


  
Sales leaders fail when they guess instead of use data. Without clear metrics, leaders launch ineffective initiatives, lose team trust, and risk being replaced.

  
Use the RROM framework to map metrics to the customer journey. Track key metrics across six stages: Awareness, Education, Selection, Onboard, Use, and Expand.

      <title>The Recurring Revenue Blueprint (6 Stages Every Team Needs) | Bite-sized Tactics</title>
      <description>Struggling to connect your sales, marketing, and customer success teams? You’re probably missing a clear customer journey framework.

In this video, we break down the Recurring Revenue Operating Model (RROM)—a framework for tracking key metrics across the customer journey, based on Jocko van der Kooi's model from Winning by Design. It outlines six critical stages of the journey, each with specific owners and metrics:

Learn how to map your customer journey and track the right metrics at every stage:


  
Awareness – Prospects become aware of your company or the problem you solve. (Owned by marketing)

  
Education – Prospects show signs of interest and need to be converted into qualified pipeline. (Owned by SDRs)

  
Selection – The formal sales process where qualified prospects decide on a vendor. (Owned by AEs)

  
Onboarding – New customers are onboarded and driven to fast time-to-value. (Owned by the implementation team)

  
Value Creation – Customer Success ensures ongoing, proactive value delivery, deepening product usage. (Owned by CS)

  
Expansion – Growing the account by introducing new products or services, increasing revenue. (Owned by Account Managers)


Each stage should have a clear leader responsible for stewarding customers through that phase and ensuring smooth transitions to the next stage. Without understanding this journey, companies can’t properly define or track meaningful metrics.

      <title>#474 - The Cold Email Strategy That Actually Books Meetings in 2025 | Jason Bay </title>
      <description>📧 Preview the Cold Email Course: www.30mpc.com/blog/preview-the-cold-email-course



This episode will completely reframe how you think about cold outreach. Jason Bay breaks down the three types of irresistible offers that get prospects to say yes, without pitching your product.



🎙 ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:


  Pitch three types of offers starting with a blind date meeting, followed by one-to-many insights like benchmarks, and finishing with one-to-one custom value like workshops or audits.

  When using a one-to-many offer, lead with a visual that highlights the problem and ask the prospect how it matches their experience to open the conversation.

  Deliver a strong audit offer by analyzing the biggest pain point you solve, whether it's outbound performance, website optimization, or compensation benchmarking.

  When offering a pilot or free product, make sure a decision-maker is involved and they understand the cost of the full solution upfront.

<p><br></p>
<p>This episode will completely reframe how you think about cold outreach. Jason Bay breaks down the three types of irresistible offers that get prospects to say yes, without pitching your product.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>🎙 ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:</p>
<ul>
  <li>Pitch three types of offers starting with a blind date meeting, followed by one-to-many insights like benchmarks, and finishing with one-to-one custom value like workshops or audits.</li>
  <li>When using a one-to-many offer, lead with a visual that highlights the problem and ask the prospect how it matches their experience to open the conversation.</li>
  <li>Deliver a strong audit offer by analyzing the biggest pain point you solve, whether it's outbound performance, website optimization, or compensation benchmarking.</li>
  <li>When offering a pilot or free product, make sure a decision-maker is involved and they understand the cost of the full solution upfront.</li>

      <title>The 3 Sales Offers Elite Reps Use to Get Prospects To Say Yes | Bite-sized Tactics</title>
      <description>There are three types of offers sellers can use to increase meeting conversion rates. Jason Bay (CEO 2 Outbound Squad, Sales Influencer @ Salesforce) breaks them down:

✅ The Blind Date — Hype up your AE or SE like you’d hype a friend before a first date. Build instant credibility.

✅ The One-to-Many — Share valuable industry insights, competitor gaps, or research-backed reports to spark curiosity.

✅ The One-to-One — Create personalized audits, resources, or benchmarks tailored to your prospect’s world.

No weak CTAs. No generic meeting pitches. Just offers your prospects actually care about.

Learn how to weave these into your cold calls, emails, and discovery process—plus how AI tools like ChatGPT make building custom resources faster than ever.

      <title>#473 - Why Most Sales Processes Fail (How to Elite Sales Leaders Fix Them Fast) | Nathan Broome</title>
      <description>Nathan Broome brings a masterclass in building and operationalizing high-performing sales processes. He shares how great leaders drive clarity, prep their teams for success, and coach reps to consistent wins by simplifying execution at every stage of the deal cycle.



🎙 ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:


  Map out your sales process step-by-step by defining what reps should do before, during, and after each call.

  Define the “big win” (W) for each call and give reps 3–5 different ways to achieve it—without over-prescribing.

  Run one-hour workshops per stage to break down the big win and key actions with your team before rolling it out.

  Action step: Pick one underperforming stage, define the single “win,” and have managers audit every call in that stage for two weeks to see if the win is being achieved.


NATHAN’S PATH TO PRESIDENTS CLUB:


  Key Architect @ Outreach – Scaled SDR and SMB teams, eventually led Global Commercial Sales (150+ reps, 60% of revenue).

  Most Promoted Leader @ Outreach – Rose from SDR Leader to Head of Global Commercial Org with 5 promotions in 6 years.

  Enterprise Pioneer @ CaptivateIQ – Led shift from SMB focus to enterprise, landing marquee clients like Spotify and Netflix.

      <title>Forget Perfect Sales Calls: Here’s the Only Outcome That Matters  | Bite-sized Tactics</title>
      <description>Too many sellers get caught up chasing the "perfect" sales call — flawless questions, polished delivery, fancy frameworks. But here’s the truth: None of that matters if you don’t uncover a real, buyer-agreed problem you can solve.

Nathan Broome (SVP of Sales @ Common Room) breaks down the simple but powerful concept of defining the Big W — the measurable win for every sales stage. From discovery to demos, your job isn’t to sound perfect — it’s to guide the buyer to clarity and prove you can solve their problem.

Learn:

✅ How to simplify your discovery calls with outcome-based thinking

✅ Why messy, imperfect calls still convert — if you focus on the right thing

✅ How to structure demos around specific problems (and avoid overwhelming buyers)

✅ Why your sales process should adapt as you move from transactional to enterprise

      <title>#472 - Why You’re Losing Deals by Not Picking Up the Phone | Michelle Cecil</title>
      <description>Getting your buyer live on the phone isn’t old school—it’s elite. In this episode, Michelle Cecil, two-time President’s Club winner at Procore, shares how dialing instead of emailing builds trust, collapses timelines, and puts you back in control of your deals. Her approach proves that the phone isn’t dead—it’s your most underused weapon.



🎙 ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:


  
Don’t negotiate over email — Use a “carrot on a stick” to earn a callback, then close the gap in live conversation where nuance and urgency can thrive.

  
Own the reference process — Prep your prospect and your customer, set the agenda, and run the call. You are the producer—don’t outsource the close.

  
Call before big demos — Reach out to every stakeholder with a simple message: “I want this meeting to be worth your time.” You’ll get more replies than you think.

  
JUST DO THIS: Pick one deal in your pipeline. Find a reason to call your champion today—and do it.


MICHELLE’S PATH TO PRESIDENT’S CLUB:


  
Commercial AE: 2X President’s Club winner with 11 consecutive fully ramped quarters at or above quota from day one as an AE.

  
AE to Commercial Manager: Promoted 5 times internally from SDR to Enterprise AE to Manager demonstrating consistent growth, adaptability, and long-term impact.

  
Commercial AE: In 8+ years, missed only 2 quarterly numbers

        <![CDATA[<p>Getting your buyer live on the phone isn’t old school—it’s elite. In this episode, Michelle Cecil, two-time President’s Club winner at Procore, shares how dialing instead of emailing builds trust, collapses timelines, and puts you back in control of your deals. Her approach proves that the phone isn’t dead—it’s your most underused weapon.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>🎙 ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:</p>
<ul>
  <li>
<strong>Don’t negotiate over email</strong> — Use a “carrot on a stick” to earn a callback, then close the gap in live conversation where nuance and urgency can thrive.</li>
  <li>
<strong>Own the reference process</strong> — Prep your prospect and your customer, set the agenda, and run the call. You are the producer—don’t outsource the close.</li>
  <li>
<strong>Call before big demos</strong> — Reach out to every stakeholder with a simple message: “I want this meeting to be worth your time.” You’ll get more replies than you think.</li>
  <li>
<strong>JUST DO THIS:</strong> Pick one deal in your pipeline. Find a reason to call your champion today—and do it.</li>
</ul>
<p>MICHELLE’S PATH TO PRESIDENT’S CLUB:</p>
<ul>
  <li>
<strong>Commercial AE:</strong> 2X President’s Club winner with 11 consecutive fully ramped quarters at or above quota from day one as an AE.</li>
  <li>
<strong>AE to Commercial Manager:</strong> Promoted 5 times internally from SDR to Enterprise AE to Manager demonstrating consistent growth, adaptability, and long-term impact.</li>
  <li>
<strong>Commercial AE:</strong> In 8+ years, missed only 2 quarterly numbers</li>

      <title>#471 - Show The Product on The First Call: The GENIUS High Velocity Sales Blueprint | Mallika Sahay </title>
      <description>High velocity sales isn’t about rushing… it’s about precision, urgency, and clarity. In this episode, Mallika Sahay breaks down how to build a lightning-fast sales motion without sacrificing quality, trust, or control.



🎙 ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:


  
Use a product story early — Instead of saving the demo, introduce a product story on the first call to create momentum and shorten deal cycles.

  
Track funnel-stage metrics — In high-velocity sales, monitor top, middle, and bottom funnel metrics closely to iterate quickly and stay on course.

  
Rethink your sales motion — Don’t copy-paste your current process. Start from first principles and align every step with the buyer’s decision journey.

  
Simplify pipeline reviews — Use just two key questions to assess deals: is there a real problem solver, and is there a clear path to closing?


MALLIKA’S PATH TO PRESIDENTS CLUB:


  Sales Development Lead &amp; Founder of SMB Sales @ Segment

  Head of Sales @ Census

  Startup Sales Lead @ Apollo

  Chief of Staff &amp; Product Manager

      <title>How to Nail Discovery with a 1-Minute Product Tour (NOT a Demo) | Bite-sized Tactics</title>
      <description>Stop demoing on the first call.

Instead, run a 60-second product tour that grabs attention, triggers discovery questions, and opens the door to multi-threading—all before you even show a single slide.

Mallika Sahay (Fomer Sales Leader @ Apollo, Segment, Census) shares why a Product Tour on Call #1 is far more effective than a full demo—and how it transforms the sales conversation.

In this video, you’ll learn:


  Why product tours work better than slide decks or full demos on call #1

  How to use quick visual storytelling to spark curiosity

  When and how to pause, ask questions, and uncover new use cases

  How this approach leads to faster discovery and more stakeholders involved in deal #2

      <title>#470 - How Top Sales Reps Handle Objections Before They Even Happen | Bryan Charlton </title>
      <description>Bryan Charlton joins the show to break down how great reps spot deal risks early and keep momentum all the way to close. He shares real examples, practical tactics, and the mindset his team uses to win complex deals.



🎙 ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:


  The contract isn’t the finish line. It’s the start. Set the tone for what happens in the first 30, 60, and 90 days so the buyer knows exactly what to expect.

  If a buyer says they’re looking for a tool, don’t stop there. Dig into the real problems that made them start searching in the first place.

  Your story has to make sense to everyone. The champion, the leaders, and the end users all need to believe this will actually work.

  If you’re blocked from talking to power, that’s okay. Just ask what would need to be true for them to feel comfortable making the intro next time.


BRYAN’S PATH TO PRESIDENTS CLUB:


  Spent more than 12 years in sales @ Salesforce and FICO before joining Otter.ai


  Consistently hit quota by finding high-value deals in unexpected places—selling large software deals to banks in Hawaii, Credit unions, and even AI into tightly regulated financial services firms, while others focused on big brand name accounts

      <title>#468 - How to Close Deals FASTER with This SAME DAY Follow-Up Pitch | Anthony Firenzi </title>
      <description>Anthony Firenzi reveals the overlooked power of same-day follow-ups and how this one tactical shift can speed up your sales cycle, build trust, and close deals faster.



🎙 ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:


  After big team meetings, send a group recap email, personalized 1:1 emails to each attendee, and a quick check-in message to your champion.

  In executive meetings, come in with a clear agenda, focus on their priorities, and skip small talk to maximize limited time.

  Compress the time between next steps by scheduling key follow-up calls as early as possible to maintain momentum.

  Create internal urgency by using internal dynamics or “bad guys” instead of relying solely on external deadlines.

      <title>#467 - The “5 Whys” That Will TRANSFORM The Way You Coach Your Sales Reps | Jordan Chavez </title>
      <description>Jordan Chavez shares a proven coaching framework to unlock what motivates your reps, build targeted skill plans, and dig deep with the ‘5 Whys’ to fix what’s really holding them back.



🎙 ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:


  Use the Five Whys in both discovery and coaching to uncover the real root cause behind problems and drive meaningful change.

  Ask questions in a way that leads reps on a journey of self-discovery rather than making them feel judged or defensive.

  Create a quarterly PDP by having reps rate themselves in core areas, then use that to identify gaps, assign KPIs, and set weekly action steps.

  Role play repeatedly to improve discovery skills, and build trust by going first if the rep isn’t comfortable yet.

      <title> The Real Reason Reps Miss Quota | Bite Sized Tactics</title>
      <description>Struggling to diagnose why your sales rep isn’t converting?



Jordan Chavez (Head of Enterprise GTM @ ActivelyAI) breaks down his “5 Whys” sales coaching framework—a simple, proven method to uncover the real reason behind poor performance.



Instead of jumping to surface-level fixes (like “just sell the value”), we’ll show you how to ask layered “why” questions that reveal what’s actually holding your reps back—whether it’s low confidence, weak discovery, or lack of preparation.



Whether you're a sales manager, team lead, or AE looking to self-diagnose, this framework will help you stop treating symptoms—and start solving the real problem.

      <title>#466 - The One-Page Business Case That Closes 7-Figure Deals Like Clockwork | Nate Nasralla </title>
      <description>Nate’s Business Case Template



Nate Nasralla shares how to craft a one-page business case that your champion can run with. By presenting it early, keeping it simple, and making it feel like an internal doc that earns buy-in from decision-makers.



🎙 ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:


  Share an unfinished draft of your business case early to encourage collaboration and build alignment using Cunningham's Law.

  Present your business case in a simple, memo-style format limited to one page without flashy visuals or excessive content.

  Structure the one-pager with a priority-driven headline, problem statement, recommended approach, target outcomes, and required investment.

  Make the document feel like an internal memo by avoiding company branding and marketing polish.

      <title>The $30M One-Pager: How Top Reps Build Business Cases That Actually Close | Bite-Sized Tactics</title>
      <description>Nate’s Business Case Template



One of the largest deals Nate (Co-Founder @ Fluint &amp; Chief Growth Office @ Global Venture Network) ever closed—$30M—was won with a single, unbranded page. No logos. No design. Just black text on white paper.

Why? Because it felt internal to the customer—not like a vendor pitch.

The structure? Just 5 parts:

1. Priority-Driven Headline – Use the exec’s own language
2. Problem Statement – Frame the problem in a way that aligns with what you uniquely solve
3. Recommended Approach – Highlight 3 key things only you can do differently
4. Target Outcomes – Flip the problem into clear, metric-driven results
5. Required Investment – Be honest about time, money, and effort—don’t minimize it

The key? Anchor the entire narrative in what the executive already cares about. If it sounds like an internal initiative, it gets bought in like one.

      <title>#465 - What Great Sales Teams DO DIFFERENTLY: Pain Chain First, Outbound Second | Mark Kosoglow </title>
      <description>Mark Kosoglow reveals why most outbound fails before it even starts and how identifying the pain chain can radically improve your team’s results.



🎙 ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:


  Define your ICP by real problems, not just data, to find the right prospects.

  Understand where prospects are in the buyer’s journey before asking for meetings.

  Use a “pain chain” of educational messages to move prospects from unaware to aware.

  Offer valuable insights or audits instead of just asking for meetings.

      <description>Alex Kremer shares tactical leadership strategies to help sales managers build engaged teams by using breath work for presence, empowering reps, and structuring effective 1:1s that drive results.



🎙 ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:


  Your vision shapes who you become today and guides the actions you take right now.

  Regularly asking your reps why they are at the company helps uncover their true motivations and commitment.

  Effective team meetings follow a clear structure: start with breathwork, then focus on vision, shoutouts, revenue tracking, and finish with pipeline and KPIs.

  Assigning “black belts” to lead skill trainings boosts engagement, helps reps learn better, and frees up leaders to focus on leading.

      <title>#462 - The Exact Strategy to Get Stakeholders to Say YES to 7-Figure Deals | Max Licht </title>
      <description>Learn how Max Licht wins complex 6 and 7-figure enterprise deals by shadowing his prospects’ workflows, de-risking every technical blocker, and turning IT stakeholders into deal accelerators.



🎙 ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:


  Map five business or technical processes for shadow discovery and make sure a few showcase your product’s unique strengths.

  If a technical eval is dragging, call it out to trigger clarity on what’s needed for a business case and shorten the timeline.

  Look for pain points or questions about flexibility as triggers to ask for a shadow session where the prospect demos their workflow.

  Always balance the give-get in shadow sessions by offering specificity, implementation plans, or business case inputs in return.

      <title>Why Your Discovery Call Isn’t Finding Real Problems | Bite-Sized Tactics</title>
      <description>Max Licht (Enterprise AE @ MaestroQA) breaks down his shadow-based discovery process. This technique goes beyond typical discovery calls, allowing you to witness firsthand where inefficiencies and bottlenecks are happening.

1. Identify the Painful Process

- Research the customer's current workflow and tools (e.g., Excel, Salesforce) to understand the manual, time-consuming steps involved.
- This reveals where inefficiencies exist, giving you a clear picture of the pain your solution can alleviate. It also helps you identify the "drag them through the glass" moments where the pain is most acute, which is critical for building urgency.

2. Set Up the Shadowing Session

- Frame the shadow as a collaborative step to fully understand their process. Instead of just making claims, say something like, *“Before I make any promises, I want to fully understand your current reporting process to see where we can add the most value.”*
- This approach shifts the focus from selling to problem-solving, making you a trusted partner rather than just a vendor. It also sets the stage for a more meaningful business case.

3. Conduct the Shadow 

- Watch the prospect use their current tools and processes. Take notes, capture screenshots, and pay attention to friction points, inefficiencies, and workarounds they rely on.
- Seeing the workflow in action often reveals unspoken pain points and limitations that even the prospect might not articulate in a standard discovery call. This firsthand observation helps you tailor your pitch to the reality of their day-to-day work.

4. Use Shadows to Build a Business Case 

- Use the insights gathered to frame your solution as a direct response to the pain points you observed. For example, highlight how your tool eliminates specific inefficiencies, reduces manual steps, or streamlines complex reporting.
- This concrete evidence makes your pitch more credible and aligns your solution directly with their business goals, increasing the likelihood of internal buy-in.

5. Follow Up Strategically

- After the shadow, summarize your findings in a follow-up email or meeting, highlighting specific pain points you observed and how your solution can address them. Use this to drive urgency and move the deal forward.
- This reinforces your credibility as a problem-solver and keeps the conversation anchored in real, observed issues, rather than hypothetical value propositions.

6. Use the Shadow as a Catalyst for Future Conversations

- Reference specific pain points in later stages of the sales cycle, using them to frame your solution as a clear, tangible fix for their current frustrations.
- This approach keeps the focus on solving their problems, reducing friction in the decision-making process and increasing the likelihood of a successful close.

      <title>#461 - How to Run a Lightning-Fast Pipeline Review That Actually Works | Mark Nietzel </title>
      <description>Mark Nietzel returns with the exact systems he used to lead his team to 110% of quota and earn a President’s Club trip to Barcelona. This episode is a tactical blueprint for pipeline accountability, deal progression, and how leaders can maximize the impact of onsites.



🎙 ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:


  Use the Lightning Pipeline Review to pressure-test deals with binary yes/no answers on key criteria.

  Enforce weekly pipeline trackers so reps forecast and explain exactly how they’ll build and progress pipe.

  Role play every critical conversation—even if it’s five minutes before the call—to eliminate flubs.

  Prioritize onsite visits between discovery and proposal to accelerate cycles or revive stalled deals.

Quantifying business impact without triggering sales pressure is hard, but Meredith Chandler shows you exactly how to do it. From confident pricing to bulletproof ROI framing, this episode is a tactical masterclass.



🎙 ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:


  Use “Here’s why I’m asking” to frame quantifying questions as helpful, not self-serving

  Every 2–3 questions, pause to show empathy and keep buyers emotionally engaged

  Quantify time across four levels: direct time, opportunity cost, error cost, and ripple effect

  Don’t oversell ROI, ask how much impact would justify the price, and anchor conservatively

      <title>#459 - The One Dashboard Every Sales Leader Should Build | John Sherer | 30MPC Hall of Fame</title>
      <description>Sales leaders—your CRM and dashboards are probably working against you. John Sherer shares tactical ways to clean the clutter, focus on the right metrics, and finally get reports that drive action (not confusion).



🎙 ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:


  
Ditch filters—build dashboards with pre-saved reports so your team gets faster, cleaner insights.



  
Delete CRM fields that aren’t reported on or are full of junk to reduce noise and confusion.



  
Only analyze win rates on mature pipeline from prior quarters to avoid skewed conclusions.



  
Focus on four core metrics: intro meetings, late-stage deals, win rate, and inbound vs. outbound pipeline.

      <title>#458 - How to Deliver Hard News and Lead Through Tough Times | Patricia DuChene</title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:


  
Use the "Why, What, How" framework to communicate hard changes—always start with the why to reduce the shiver effect and maintain trust.



  
Don't sugarcoat bad news—treat your team like adults, be honest about challenges, and frame positives where appropriate.



  
Create a lever cheat sheet for your sellers so they know what they can give (discounts, services) and what to ask for in return to protect deal value.



  
After major changes like a RIF, give the team a week to process, then reset expectations with managers leading the charge into the "new normal."

      <title>#457 - Say This to Start Discovery Calls with Instant Credibility | Jen Allen-Knuth</title>
      <description>Enterprise sellers: this one’s a masterclass in leading high-impact discovery. Jen Allen-Knuth shares how to uncover deal-driving problems, guide calls with precision, and win executive trust with better prep and positioning.



🎙 ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:


  
Use ChatGPT to explain your prospect’s business “like I’m 10” for clarity and messaging insight.



  
Beat your prospect to the punch with a hypothesis to steer discovery toward winnable problems.



  
Mirror high-level goals and “before state” language to make case studies resonate more deeply.



  
Size the “status quo” problem by auditing lost pipeline, then use it to build urgency and buy-in.

      <title>#455 - How to Build Rep Onboarding That Actually Sticks | Jonah Mandel </title>
      <description>Guestie VP of Sales Jonah Mandel is back—and he’s bringing a battle-tested blueprint for leading a 60-person sales org. From onboarding frameworks to emotional pulse checks, this episode is a masterclass in scalable, high-intent leadership.



🎙 ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:


  
Win the first 30 days or lose the next 300—structure onboarding to build lasting habits.



  
Idiot-proof dashboards so any leader can read them like a story, not a spreadsheet.



  
Track rep engagement by reverse-sorting Slack conversations and checking in every 6 weeks.



  
Use low-stakes "training leads" before letting reps handle high-revenue inbound.

Position yourself as a partner, not a decision-maker, during negotiations. Frame your CFO or leadership as the final approver to deflect pressure and control the conversation

  
Use a sliding scale for discounts based on timeline. Offer steeper discounts for faster signatures to create urgency without arbitrary end-of-month pressure

  
Steer discovery and demos toward problems that matter. Don’t get stuck solving small issues—recommend workflows tied to real business impact and executive priorities

  
Drive deal velocity without discounting by pre-scheduling the implementation call. Lock in post-sale steps early to create natural pressure toward closing

      <title>#453 - How to Nail Large Sales Meetings | David Rosenstein | 30MPC Hall of Fame</title>
      <description>ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:


  Get Permission to Reframe: Before turning a perceived weakness into a strength, ask for permission to tell the story. This keeps the approach authentic and avoids sounding overly salesy.

  Anchor High for Multithreading: When requesting additional stakeholders, ask for more than you need. If they say no to six but yes to two, you've still gained ground.

  Reframe Intentional Limitations: When faced with an objection or missing feature, consider if it’s intentional by design. Reframe it as a benefit aligned with the prospect’s goals.

  Prep for Large Meetings: Divide the room strategically. Prep with your champion, pre-call each stakeholder, then personalize questions in the meeting to tailor the conversation.

      <title>#452 - How to Build a Cold Calling Culture | Colin Specter </title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS: 


Schedule Everything: Cold call success starts with structure. Use scheduled power hours, follow-ups, and prospecting blocks to bring order and focus to your SDRs' day.


Create Rituals That Boost Energy: Host a weekly kickoff meeting to align the team, recognize wins, and run call reviews. Energy is everything—ritualize it.


Hold Reps to Input Standards: 150 dials per day is the expectation. If reps fall short, diagnose whether it’s a skill, will, or workflow issue and address it head-on.


Use Your Top Reps as the Spark: Find your believers and get them dialing in public. Team momentum starts with a few people on fire—and then it spreads.

      <title>#451 - The Demo Framework That Actually Closes Deals | Robert Friedland </title>
      <description>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?”

      <title>#450 - Be Upfront With Discovery | Mark Nietzel | 30MPC Hall of Fame</title>
      <description>ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:


Set Multiple Agendas: Before showing a high-level demo, re-establish the agenda. Explain what you'll show, present it, then recap by tying it back to the meeting's outcome.


Dangle the Carrot: Identify one problem to address in your demo, then ask for two or three more use cases. Use curiosity to uncover additional discovery points before diving into the demo.


Anchor to an Outcome: Start the call by setting a clear decision-oriented goal, such as determining if further evaluation is worth their time.


Be Blunt About Goals: In rip-and-replace scenarios, state the stakes directly, like weighing the pain of switching versus the potential benefits. This disarming honesty builds trust.

      <description>Consensus close rate guide: https://goconsensus.com/checklist/close-rates-demo-automation/

ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:


Time-Box Your Tools: Avoid checking Slack or email first thing in the morning—protect your focus by starting the day with intention.


Buyer Actions &gt; Seller Actions: Sales progress should be measured by what the buyer does, not how many activities the seller logs.


Build a Momentum Score: Track 7–10 buyer behaviors (like demo views or EB engagement) to score deal health and predict close rates.


Deals Must Survive 3 Rings: Every deal faces three negotiation phases—champion, procurement, and final signer, so plan resources accordingly.

      <title>#447 - How to Fully Measure Your Sales Reps | Eleanor Dorfman | 30MPC Hall of Fame</title>
      <description>ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:


SPFs for Short-Term Change: Use SPFs to drive short-term behavior changes. Long-term shifts should align with consistent metrics in your "iron square" framework.


Strict Holdover Rules: Allow one quarter for closing open opportunities after a territory change if they’re past stage two. No exceptions ensure fairness and consistency.


The Iron Square: Track rep productivity with win rate, AE-sourced pipeline, total pipeline generation, and forecast accuracy, with quota attainment as the central North Star.


Customer-First Processes: Avoid letting internal rules disrupt customer experience. Build buffer zones in ROEs and territories to minimize deal handoffs.


ELEANOR'S PATH TO PRESIDENTS CLUB:

Head of Sales @ Retool

Global Head of Commercial Retention &amp; Regional Director of Commercial Sales @ Segment

Global Head of Commercial Renewals and Retention @ Segment

Head of Customer Success and Solutions engineering @ Clever Inc

      <title>#446 - How to Teach Discovery Without Confusing the Hell Out of Your Sales Team | 30MPC Playbook (Lead)</title>
      <description>🎁 Save $50 — Get our step-by-step discovery video course for just $249 with code PODCAST

https://www.30mpc.com/course/discovery-course
--
Master the structure, questions, and flow of high-impact discovery calls

ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:



Keep It Simple with a 3x3 Framework: Break the discovery call into three sections (agenda, meat, next steps), each with three core moves. This keeps reps oriented and avoids overwhelming them with 57-point checklists.


Teach What to Get, Not Just What to Ask: Don't just train reps on questions. Teach them the four layers of discovery: situation → operational problem → executive problem → business impact. When they know where they’re going, they can improvise better questions.


Use Repetition to Lock It In: Roll out discovery training in small chunks (preferably 2–3 sessions). Reinforce it weekly through tape reviews, roleplays, and pipeline reviews to evolve reps from 101 → 201 → 301 level skills.


Discovery Trees Should Evolve Over Time: Start with a few problem trees, then refine them through live calls and team feedback. Your trees get "seasoned" over time—just like cast iron—with real examples, new objections, and better talk tracks.</description>

YouTube video version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0H6G7toc9s

ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:

Structure Your Call in 3 Parts: Great discovery calls have three distinct chapters—(1) the first five minutes to establish credibility and set your PPO agenda (Purpose, Plan, Outcome), (2) the next 20 minutes to uncover meaningful problems while building trust, and (3) the last five minutes to run your Five Minute Drill and determine if it’s worth setting a next step.

Use Discovery Trees to Guide Questions: Map out your prospect’s problems in four layers—situation, operational pain, executive problem, and business impact. Use simple transitions like “so what?” to climb down the tree, and reverse it when execs start with big priorities. Don’t just ask questions—build a roadmap first.

Balance Give and Take: If you only ask questions, you’re interrogating. Use playbacks, pile-ons, praise, and parallel stories to add value throughout the call and build trust. Use vertical questions to go deeper on one topic instead of jumping all over the place.

Run a Tight Five Minute Drill: In the last five minutes, validate if they want to solve the problem, when they want to solve it, and how they buy. Suggest the timeline and buying process based on what you’ve seen work—not what they think they should do. If they’re serious, schedule the next step while you’re still on the call.</description>

      <title>#444 - Reignite Your Remote Sales Team With This One Tactic | Todd Caponi </title>
      <description>Sign up for the 30MPC Discovery Course today and learn how top sellers lead high-impact discovery calls that land bigger deals: https://www.30mpc.com/course/discovery-course

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS


Run firmographic sprints with customer interviews. Ask about headwinds/tailwinds, KPIs, where they learn, and which sales emails stand out to better understand their world.


Prep customers before training sessions. Make it clear their job is to teach the buyer’s world—not give a product testimonial—so reps get true industry insight.


Structure sprints for learning and sharing. Start with external education, then shift to reps sharing industry insights weekly to build confidence and fluency.


Use recognition over cash to motivate. A visible $100 spiff with scarcity and public praise was more effective than a quiet commission boost. Recognition &gt; raw dollars.

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?”

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Your growth ICP might differ from your new business ICP: New Biz = CRM, but Growth is all about whitespace. Growth isn’t just about net new—it’s about expanding within. Think users, not logos.

How are customers already interacting with your company:Take advantage of support. Train your support team on upsell triggers – chat, email, drift. Example: How can I do more emailing in the tool? Marketing automation.

Big Deal Review: Double ACV Through Team Selling. Want bigger deals? Put more eyes on them. Biweekly Reviews: 2 AEs present deals to VP, peers, SEs. Open discussion. Team Selling in Action: Everyone contributes—challenges, ideas, strategy.

Weekly Round table: Start weekly team meetings with open sharing. Surfacing challenges early helps you prioritize and tackle what matters most.

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS


Demo with KPIC + Make Them Hold It: Tie each feature to a known problem and impact, then ask how they'd use it to make the solution tangible and relevant.


Use “Assuming We Can…”: Frame your solution as a possibility to lower defenses. This pulls the prospect in and gets them imagining success without feeling sold to.


Reference Problem Children: Personalize the demo by naming specific team members or pain points, making it easier for the buyer to visualize solving their real-world problems.


Multithread with Purpose: Frame next steps as critical to their success, not yours—“To get you what you want, we’ll need Jane’s input too. How can we involve her?”

      <description>Sign up for the 30MPC Discovery Course today and learn how top sellers lead high-impact discovery calls that land bigger deals: https://www.30mpc.com/course/discovery-course 

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS


Establish a Clear Reference Policy: Without a structured reference policy, reference calls become chaotic, frustrating customers and reps alike. Set clear guidelines to manage them effectively.


Optimize the Time Between Meetings: Sales doesn’t just happen in meetings. Define clear steps for reps to take between meetings to maintain momentum and advance deals.


Leverage Your Network for Referrals: Take a list of active discovery calls, cross-reference with Sales Navigator, and identify referral opportunities from leadership, investors, and past customers.


Strategically Introduce Connections: If a referral is strong, facilitate an immediate intro. If weaker, have the AE use it as a warm door opener to build rapport before making the ask.

<li>
<strong>Establish a Clear Reference Policy</strong>: Without a structured reference policy, reference calls become chaotic, frustrating customers and reps alike. Set clear guidelines to manage them effectively.</li>
<li>
<strong>Optimize the Time Between Meetings</strong>: Sales doesn’t just happen in meetings. Define clear steps for reps to take between meetings to maintain momentum and advance deals.</li>
<li>
<strong>Leverage Your Network for Referrals</strong>: Take a list of active discovery calls, cross-reference with Sales Navigator, and identify referral opportunities from leadership, investors, and past customers.</li>
<li>
<strong>Strategically Introduce Connections</strong>: If a referral is strong, facilitate an immediate intro. If weaker, have the AE use it as a warm door opener to build rapport before making the ask.</li>

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS


Match Tonality to Questions: Tone discongruence kills trust. If your tone doesn’t match your question, prospects get skeptical. Adjust your delivery to align with the intent of your ask.


Don’t Push Economic Impact Too Soon: Mid-level managers may not care about bottom-line impact. Save deep financial discussions for decision-makers who influence the balance sheet.


Three Levels of Problem Questions: First, identify the problem. Second, uncover its effects. Third, quantify the impact in time or money to drive urgency.


Use Questions with Leads: Instead of open-ended asks, provide multiple-choice-style prompts. This makes answering easier and positions you as an informed advisor.

      <description>Sign up for the 30MPC Discovery Course today and learn how top sellers lead high-impact discovery calls that land bigger deals: https://www.30mpc.com/course/discovery-course 

ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:

Limit Pricing Options to Three: Offering more than three options overwhelms prospects. Present only the most relevant three to simplify decision-making.

Leverage Value-Add Incentives: Highlight low-cost-to-you, high-value items (like waived fees or extra features) to steer prospects toward larger packages.

Present Pricing with a Range: Start with a floor price and give a range based on factors, allowing flexibility while avoiding sticker shock.

Use Strategic Comparisons: Position your premium option near a slightly lower-tier offer to make it an attractive choice, while avoiding comparisons to much cheaper options.

      <title>#437 - The Coaching Blueprint: How to Develop Reps Like a Pro Leader | Adam Carroll </title>
      <description>Sign up for the 30MPC Discovery Course today and learn how top sellers lead high-impact discovery calls that land bigger deals: https://www.30mpc.com/course/discovery-course 

ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:


Give Immediate Feedback: Don’t wait until later—debrief with reps right after a call while the details are fresh. Sales has lost this habit with back-to-back Zoom meetings, but it’s critical for development.


Create a Coaching Cadence: If you don’t set a structured coaching schedule, it likely won’t happen consistently. Define clear coaching sessions, including frequency and focus, to ensure real progress.


Structure Call Reviews: Block two hours weekly to review calls. Assign themes (e.g., discovery, negotiation), require reps to provide timestamps, and have them self-diagnose before your feedback.


Expand Practice Beyond Role Plays: Role plays aren’t the only way to improve. Have reps document key impact questions, map org charts for multithreading, or identify missing stakeholders in deals.

ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:


Use Humbling Disclaimers: Preface tough questions with softening statements like, “I’m not quite sure how to ask this,” or “This might feel direct.” It lowers defensiveness and makes hard questions land better.


Dig Into Prospect Rumblings: Prospects often hint at problems rather than state them outright. Listen for vague concerns and use a humbling disclaimer to drill deeper into the real issue.


Refine Bucket Questions: Instead of stating, “Every CRO faces these three problems,” add nuance: “Many CROs I speak with mention challenges like…” This avoids defensiveness and keeps the conversation open.


Follow a Clear Flow: Get permission to ask questions, surface problems without assumptions, prompt for real examples, then use humbling disclaimers to quantify impact without making prospects uncomfortable.

      <title>How To Set Next Steps In Sales With The 5 Minute Drill</title>
      <description>There is an extreme over-rotation in sales on setting next steps. Setting next steps is NOT always a good thing.

🛑 Bad: Never setting next steps
🟡 Okay: Setting steps on every deal
🟢 Good: Setting steps on REAL deals

Instead, first determine if the deal is worth setting next steps with at all. Then, you should recommend the appropriate next step, but only if your prospects have proven that it's worth keeping them in your pipeline.

That's where the Five Minute Drill comes in: Three questions you can ask at the end of every single call to determine if and how you set a next step.

𝐐𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 1: 𝐃𝐨 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐖𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐚 𝐁𝐮𝐲?

If you can practice ONE THING, it's this. Any time you offer a demo, a pilot, a proposal, you are giving your time away to a prospect.

And that's fine. But only if you get something in return.

If you're investing more time with them, you should expect that they won't waste it and affirm that this is actually leading somewhere.

𝐐𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 2: 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐚 𝐛𝐮𝐲?

You can't properly suggest a next step until you understand their timeline to solve the problem we just agreed upon.

If they want to solve this problem in 3 weeks, we'll use their answer to drive far more urgency than if this weren't a problem to solve for 6 months.

𝐐𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 3: 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐚 𝐛𝐮𝐲.

Guess what, the last question isn't a question.

You should always suggest and confirm next steps because you've sold your software far more times than they've bought it.

Frame your ask in terms of their best interest, not yours. Based on what you learned in the first two questions: what is the next step you need to take to solve their problem by the time they want it solved?

And don't just suggest one next step, suggest next-next steps so they explicitly buy into a sales process, not a free 60 minute demo.

Full breakdown of the 5 minute drill: https://www.30mpc.com/newsletter/how-to-set-next-steps-in-sales-with-the-5-minute-drill

        <![CDATA[<p>There is an extreme over-rotation in sales on setting next steps. Setting next steps is NOT always a good thing.</p><p><br></p><p>🛑 Bad: Never setting next steps</p><p>🟡 Okay: Setting steps on every deal</p><p>🟢 Good: Setting steps on REAL deals</p><p><br></p><p>Instead, first determine if the deal is worth setting next steps with at all. Then, you should recommend the appropriate next step, but only if your prospects have proven that it's worth keeping them in your pipeline.</p><p><br></p><p>That's where the Five Minute Drill comes in: Three questions you can ask at the end of every single call to determine if and how you set a next step.</p><p><br></p><p>𝐐𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 1: 𝐃𝐨 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐖𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐚 𝐁𝐮𝐲?</p><p><br></p><p>If you can practice ONE THING, it's this. Any time you offer a demo, a pilot, a proposal, you are giving your time away to a prospect.</p><p><br></p><p>And that's fine. But only if you get something in return.</p><p><br></p><p>If you're investing more time with them, you should expect that they won't waste it and affirm that this is actually leading somewhere.</p><p><br></p><p>𝐐𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 2: 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐚 𝐛𝐮𝐲?</p><p><br></p><p>You can't properly suggest a next step until you understand their timeline to solve the problem we just agreed upon.</p><p><br></p><p>If they want to solve this problem in 3 weeks, we'll use their answer to drive far more urgency than if this weren't a problem to solve for 6 months.</p><p><br></p><p>𝐐𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 3: 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐚 𝐛𝐮𝐲.</p><p><br></p><p>Guess what, the last question isn't a question.</p><p><br></p><p>You should always suggest and confirm next steps because you've sold your software far more times than they've bought it.</p><p><br></p><p>Frame your ask in terms of their best interest, not yours.

      <title>#435 - How to Coach Your Reps Like a Top 1% Sales Leader | Alex Kremer </title>
      <description>ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:


No Last-Minute Coaching: Avoid changing a rep’s game plan in the 30 minutes before a call. It signals distrust and forces them to scramble, leading to a worse outcome.


Stick to One Coaching Theme: Don’t introduce a new area of improvement after every call. Focus feedback on a consistent theme to drive real progress.


Align on Call Emotion: Before a discovery call, ask your rep how they want the prospect to feel. This sets the right tone and helps shape their delivery.


Know Your Role in Calls: As a manager, decide if you’re leading, coaching, or just reading the room. Adapt based on the rep’s experience level and the call type.

      <description>🎁 Save $50 — Get our step-by-step discovery video course for just $249 with code PODCAST

https://www.30mpc.com/course/discovery-course
--
ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:


Deflect Product Questions Early: When a prospect asks about your product upfront, redirect by asking what’s happening in their business that made them look in the first place. Avoid the trap of leading with features.


Reduce Technical Objections: If a prospect fixates on a small technical blocker, refocus on the bigger business problem. Aligning on major pain points can make minor technical concerns less of a deal-breaker.


Dig Beyond Surface Problems: Low win rates aren’t the real problem. The true impact is missing revenue targets, losing reps, or struggling to hit quota. Always tie issues to business consequences.


Identify the Root Cause Before Solving: Before proposing solutions, confirm the real problem, its impact, and the root cause. Then present your solution in a way that connects all three.

      <title>#432 - The Art &amp; Science of Quota Setting: Get It Right or Lose Your Team | 30MPC Playbook (Lead)</title>
      <description>PLAYBOOK TAKEAWAYS:

Aim for 70% attainment and 70% participation to create a winning culture.

Avoid feast-or-famine environments where only a few reps succeed.

Use historical data to set quotas based on pipeline, win rates, and deal size.

Every quota increase must be backed by an investment in pipeline, win rates, or deal size.

Revisit quotas once per year, unless there’s a massive skew in attainment.

Communicate quota changes with transparency and clear justification.

Avoid high attainment with low participation, which creates resentment and turnover.

Quota planning should be a business decision, not just a sales decision.

Keep top reps busy before adding more headcount to avoid diluting pipeline.

Simple, fair comp plans drive engagement and motivation.

      <title>#431 - How to Close $10M+ Deals &amp; Make $1M W-2 | Ian Koniak</title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS


Create a Not-To-Do List: Identify low-value tasks to eliminate instead of just adding more effort. Free up time for strategic activities like prospecting and closing.


Prioritize RGAs: Focus only on activities that create new pipeline or advance existing deals. Everything else is a distraction.


Enterprise Deal Timeline: Q1 is for building a POV and landing initial meetings. Q2 is for discovery and securing an executive sponsor. Q3 is for proposal, negotiation, and procurement. Q4 is for closing.


Rule of 100 for Enterprise Outreach: Target the top 20% of accounts with high potential. Reach out to 10 executives with at least 10 touches each—totaling 100 strategic touchpoints per account.

      <title>#430 - Land &amp; Expand Deals | Eleanor Dorfman | 30MPC Hall of Fame</title>
      <description>ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:


Segmented Team Structure: Down-market teams focus on landing new logos, passing them to expand teams, while up-market AEs handle both acquisition and expansion with retention-based comp.


Enterprise Sales Strategies: Use top-down (sell wall-to-wall) or land-and-expand approaches, with the latter yielding higher LTV by scaling through business units first.


Deal Inspection Triggers: Monitor $50K deals at stage 3 for POCs and access to power, and stage 5 for mutual action plans and the paper process.


Consistent Review Rhythm: Reps update pipelines Monday, managers review Tuesday, deal reviews happen Wednesday, and Eleanor finalizes calls Thursday.

Segmented Team Structure: Down-market teams focus on landing new logos, passing them to expand teams, while up-market AEs handle both acquisition and expansion with retention-based comp.


Enterprise Sales Strategies: Use top-down (sell wall-to-wall) or land-and-expand approaches, with the latter yielding higher LTV by scaling through business units first.


Deal Inspection Triggers: Monitor $50K deals at stage 3 for POCs and access to power, and stage 5 for mutual action plans and the paper process.


Consistent Review Rhythm: Reps update pipelines Monday, managers review Tuesday, deal reviews happen Wednesday, and Eleanor finalizes calls Thursday.

      <title>#429 - How to Push Top Performers Without Losing Them | Alex Kremer </title>
      <description>ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:


Understand Rep Motivation: Identify what drives each rep—money, career growth, or exploration—then get their permission to push them toward that goal, laying the foundation for future coaching.


Call Out the Situation First: Before changing a rep’s behavior, acknowledge the dynamic at play so both parties are aligned. This prevents resistance and confusion.


Leverage Top Performers: Coach high performers by challenging them to reach the next level and putting them in the spotlight to lead trainings, reinforcing best practices for the team.


Coach in Buckets: Break down calls into sections and ensure reps get the fundamentals right before refining their style, making feedback more structured and actionable.

      <title>#428 - Why Buyers HATE Your Sales Process | Jake Dunlap </title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS


Understand the VEX Scale: Classify prospects as Vetted (using a competitor), Educated (familiar but undecided), Cold (new to the space), or Self-Service. Tailor your approach accordingly.


Ask About Their Journey: Send an email upfront asking where they are in their learning process. This helps you position the conversation at the right level.


Skip Basic Discovery for Vetted Prospects: If they already use a competitor, focus on their current solution’s gaps and ideal outcomes instead of re-explaining the category.


Avoid Restarting Discovery: When new stakeholders join later calls, recap prior findings first, then ask how those problems impact their specific role.

      <title>#426 - Stop Hiring the Wrong People, Use This Interview Structure Instead | Kevin "KD" Dorsey </title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS


Interview Kits for Prep: Send candidates an interview kit outlining expectations, key questions, and details on interviewers. Poor answers indicate lack of prep or poor fit.


Evidence-Based Questions Only: Avoid hypotheticals. Ask for proof of past performance (P.O.P.) to assess real experience and capabilities.


Screening Videos Save Time: Require a three-minute video on a key trait (e.g., perseverance). Evaluate clarity, instructions-following, and presentation skills before a live interview.


Live Deal Review Test: Have candidates walk through a real deal they closed. Assess how they sourced, ran discovery, demoed, and closed, treating it like an actual deal review.

      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS


ChatGPT Research Triangle: Before outreach, prompt ChatGPT with the industry (including sub-industry), job title, and your product’s value. This ensures messaging aligns with trends relevant to the prospect.


Use Industry Jargon: Ask ChatGPT for insider terminology that VPs in specific industries use. This makes your messaging sound more credible and tailored to their world.


Refine Email Sequences: Provide ChatGPT with your email templates and ask it to integrate industry-specific revenue drivers. This keeps messaging structured while adding personalization.


Smarter Discovery Questions: Use ChatGPT insights to refine questions that demonstrate expertise. Instead of generic asks, tailor them to industry trends and job-specific challenges.

Signal Prioritization: Categorize signals (e.g., high-intent, time-based) with different response SLAs to ensure timely outreach.

Call Blitz Culture: Multiple weekly call blitzes with a virtual sales floor create a high-energy, team-building cold calling environment.

Effective Personalization: Don’t rely on signals alone; combine them with company insights to craft personalized, compelling outreach.

80/20 Email Framework: Provide reps with an 80% completed template (signal, company insight, ideal state, light CTA), letting them personalize the final 20%.

Signal Prioritization: Categorize signals (e.g., high-intent, time-based) with different response SLAs to ensure timely outreach.

Call Blitz Culture: Multiple weekly call blitzes with a virtual sales floor create a high-energy, team-building cold calling environment.

Effective Personalization: Don’t rely on signals alone; combine them with company insights to craft personalized, compelling outreach.

80/20 Email Framework: Provide reps with an 80% completed template (signal, company insight, ideal state, light CTA), letting them personalize the final 20%.

      <title>#423 - How to Fix a Broken Sales Org in 90 Days | Kevin "KD" Dorsey </title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS


Focus on High-Impact Problems: Prioritize fixing widespread issues over the loudest complaints. High-volume problems drive more meaningful change than squeaky-wheel issues.


Leverage 2x Multipliers: Target improvements that can double key metrics rather than marginal gains. Align leadership early so they understand why other issues aren’t top priority.


Weekly Wiggle Wednesdays: Hold a one-hour leadership meeting to refine sales tactics. Use the four D’s: define, document, demonstrate, and deliberately practice new strategies.


Transparent 1:1 Tracking: Link manager-rep 1:1 docs to the director’s 1:1 doc. Track each rep’s key metric, issue diagnosis, and growth plan for better coaching visibility.

      <title>#422 - How to Open &amp; Close More Deals With Key Accounts | Maddy Jackson </title>
      <description>ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:


Permission-Based Introduction: Identify an executive, then request an intro to their top lieutenant by tying outreach to an executive-level metric they care about.


Funding Intent Matters: Don’t just track funding announcements—dig into how the company plans to use the money and align outreach to support that goal.


AE &amp; SDR Account Strategy: AEs select accounts, build a POV, and own outreach to execs, while SDRs focus on below-the-line contacts with AE guidance.


Account Tiering System: Rank accounts as green (30-50), yellow (130), or red (30-50) based on deal size and buying likelihood to prioritize outreach effectively.

      <description>ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Phased Approach: When price matters, propose only the essentials for day one to make your quote smaller and easier to accept.


Timeline Stack: Identify key timeline drivers, like contract end dates or business seasonality, to create urgency.


Turn Want into Why: During discovery, dig deeper to find the real business problem behind a customer’s desire for change.

      <title>#420 - How to Build the Perfect Sales Team, Role by Role | Mark, Nick, &amp; Armand </title>
      <description>Nick, Armand, and Mark Kosoglow talk through how and when you should make different sales hires as your sales team grows.

ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:


Hire Builders First: Early sales hires should create processes, while later hires follow them.


CEO Sales Involvement: Founders should sell until they define the product and process, then transition to AEs.


Scaling Key Roles: Maintain a 1:1 AE to SDR ratio early, shifting to 2:1 later. Hire RevOps early; SE and enablement depend on need.


Manager &amp; Director Timing: Keep managers at 8 reps max, stretching to 10-12 if needed. Delay director hires until managing at least three managers.

      <title>#418 - Tonality in Sales | Jeremy Miner | 30MPC Hall of Fame</title>
      <description>ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS: 



Facial Expressions Control Tone: Your facial expressions influence your tone. For example, leaning in creates a concerned tone, while tilting your chin up can convey curiosity.


Slow Down Your Questions: Asking questions too quickly leads to poor answers. Slow down the second half of your question to give prospects time to think and respond meaningfully.


Master the Five Types of Tone: Use different tones—curious, confused, concerned, challenging, and playful—to guide conversations and elicit the right responses.


Challenge Prospects with a Direct Tone: A challenging tone helps push prospects to take action, especially when addressing tough issues like low-quality leads.

<li>
<strong>Master the Five Types of Tone: </strong>Use different tones—curious, confused, concerned, challenging, and playful—to guide conversations and elicit the right responses.</li>
<li>
<strong>Challenge Prospects with a Direct Tone:</strong> A challenging tone helps push prospects to take action, especially when addressing tough issues like low-quality leads.</li>

      <title>#417 - How to Train Teams on Discovery That Digs Deeper and Closes Bigger | Eleanor Dorfman </title>
      <description>ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:

Ban Product-Specific Language: Prohibit product-focused terms like "roles-based access" in deal reviews. Instead, prompt reps to explore the customer’s "why" behind their needs, driving better customer questioning and understanding.

Tie Incentives to Certifications: Require reps to complete critical certifications (e.g., discovery certification) to access desirable benefits, such as inbound leads, ensuring alignment between AE and leadership goals.

Consistency in Value Framework: Maintain your value selling framework across every sales stage—from discovery to demo to proposal—ensuring consistent messaging and alignment throughout the cycle.

Embed Framework into Processes: Update all sales processes, stages, and deal reviews to reflect new frameworks. Regularly reinforce these changes in weekly reviews to ensure training sticks and drives lasting behavior changes.

Name Badge Optimization: Design name badges with legible names and role-based color coding. Bonus: add a fun fact to encourage interaction and make glancing at the badge feel natural.


Post-SKO Follow-Up Plan: SKO momentum fades quickly. Implement a follow-up plan within days to sustain energy and carry it into the sales year.


Session Energy Management: Use high-energy sessions earlier when attention is stronger. Save interactive or fun activities for post-lunch when engagement dips.


Pre-Vet Presenters: Plan sessions a month in advance and require presenters to rehearse. Avoid costly, unpolished presentations that waste valuable sales time.

      <title>#413 - How to Reframe Objections as Strengths | David Rosenstein </title>
      <description>ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:

Get Permission to Reframe: Before turning a perceived weakness into a strength, ask for permission to tell the story. This keeps the approach authentic and avoids sounding overly salesy.

Anchor High for Multithreading: When requesting additional stakeholders, ask for more than you need. If they say no to six but yes to two, you've still gained ground.

Reframe Intentional Limitations: When faced with an objection or missing feature, consider if it’s intentional by design. Reframe it as a benefit aligned with the prospect’s goals.

Prep for Large Meetings: Divide the room strategically. Prep with your champion, pre-call each stakeholder, then personalize questions in the meeting to tailor the conversation.

      <title>#412 - How To Actually Challenge Customers | John Barrows | 30MPC Hall of Fame</title>
      <description>Join John's Newsletter

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS


Executive time crunch: If an exec only has five minutes instead of 30, ask, "What’s the one thing you need to hear to earn another meeting with your full attention?" Focus on that.


Lead with a hypothesis: Instead of asking generic discovery questions, start with a hypothesis about their priorities based on research, showing you did your homework.


Decision criteria: Prospects may focus on the wrong decision factors. Share a list of common criteria and ask them to rank their priorities to guide the discussion.


Demo as you go: Don't save all product demos for the end. Show small pieces of the product during the conversation, interspersing discovery throughout.

      <title>#411 - The No-Exception Rule That Every Sales Leader Needs to Adopt ASAP | Eleanor Dorfman </title>
      <description>ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:


SPFs for Short-Term Change: Use SPFs to drive short-term behavior changes. Long-term shifts should align with consistent metrics in your "iron square" framework.


Strict Holdover Rules: Allow one quarter for closing open opportunities after a territory change if they’re past stage two. No exceptions ensure fairness and consistency.


The Iron Square: Track rep productivity with win rate, AE-sourced pipeline, total pipeline generation, and forecast accuracy, with quota attainment as the central North Star.


Customer-First Processes: Avoid letting internal rules disrupt customer experience. Build buffer zones in ROEs and territories to minimize deal handoffs.

      <description>The cold calling course is here! (20% off with 20-OFF-YR1 before 01/10):
https://clubpass.30mpc.com/cold-calls-to-presidents-club

Actionable Takeaways


No Value Propositions. Buzzwords make you sound like a telemarketer, and benefits fall flat without the context of a problem.


Triggering Problem. Instead, lead with a problem so specific that it triggers your prospect and reminds them of a painful memory.


One-Sentence Solution. If you get the problem right, all you need is one sentence to explain your solution (we do X so that the problem goes away).


Interest-Based CTA. Validate their interest before you ask for the meeting, using softening language, no-based questions, and mini push-aways.</description>

      <title>#408 - Why Most Salespeople Fail at Discovery Calls (And How To Fix It) | Mark Nietzel </title>
      <description>ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:


Set Multiple Agendas: Before showing a high-level demo, re-establish the agenda. Explain what you'll show, present it, then recap by tying it back to the meeting's outcome.


Dangle the Carrot: Identify one problem to address in your demo, then ask for two or three more use cases. Use curiosity to uncover additional discovery points before diving into the demo.


Anchor to an Outcome: Start the call by setting a clear decision-oriented goal, such as determining if further evaluation is worth their time.


Be Blunt About Goals: In rip-and-replace scenarios, state the stakes directly, like weighing the pain of switching versus the potential benefits. This disarming honesty builds trust.

      <title>#407 - How to Measure Sales Team Metrics Without Micromanaging | John Sherer </title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS:


Simplify Dashboards: Skip filters and create pre-built reports for dashboards. It saves time and provides clearer insights without extra clicks.


Trim CRM Fields: Remove unused CRM fields. If you’re not reporting on them or they’re filled with junk data, they’re just slowing you down.


Analyze Mature Pipeline: For accurate win rates, focus on qualified deals created in earlier quarters. Allow time for deals to mature before assessing.


Core Metrics Dashboard: Track four key metrics—intro meetings, late-stage deals, win rates, and inbound versus outbound pipeline.

      <title>#406 - The Top 15 Tactics from 2024</title>
      <description>The top 15 sales tips shared on the podcast in 2024 (full episodes linked below)

Prospecting Best Practices:


"That's Exactly Why I Called" Response: Use objections as a reason to keep the conversation going (Sara Uy)

Presuppose the Problem: Start with, "You've probably looked into X before, huh?" to reduce sales pressure and uncover nuance (Josh Braun)

Call Yourself First: Test new phone numbers for spam labeling before dialing prospects (Ken Amar)

Effective Email Structure: Combine business initiatives, industry trends, and triggers for personalized, resonant cold emails (Kyle Coleman)

Heard the Name Tossed Around Opener: Open with network credibility, then focus on problem-centric pitches (from the "Cold Calling Sucks" book)


Discovery &amp; Sales Process Best Practices:


Problem Storytelling: Turn problem agreement into a story by asking, "When did you realize this was a problem?" (Charles Muhlbauer) 

The 1–10 Feedback Question: Ask prospects to rate your demo and explore what would make it a 10 (Steven Bryerton)

Don’t Mistake Activity for Achievement: Align sales stages with outcomes (Mark Kosoglow)

Use Labels in Negotiations: Diffuse tension by labeling emotions, e.g., "It seems like you just want to get a good deal," to avoid triggering defensiveness (Chris Voss)

Lead, Don’t Ask, Mid-Cycle: Overcome indecision by offering clear recommendations and removing irrelevant options (Matt Dixon)


Leadership Best Practices:


Invert the Hiring Funnel: Sell candidates on the opportunity first, then test skills later (Hiring Playbook)

Disarming Transparency in Hiring: Share risks and weaknesses with candidates to surface objections early and build trust (Mark Kosoglow)

20/80 Training Rhythms: Spend 20% of the time introducing new skills and 80% reinforcing them weekly (Training Playbook)

Pipeline Squeeze: Ask key questions (e.g., deal size, close date, buyer awareness) to assess pipeline health and socialize results (John Sherer)

Document the Wiggle (W.G.L.L): Define "what good looks like," then practice targeted scenarios repeatedly for efficiency (Kevin Dorsey)

      <description>ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS


Prioritize Storytelling: Assess storytelling skills during interviews and coach reps on it. It's a foundational human communication skill that drives sales success.


Evaluate Questions Asked: Learn as much from the questions a rep asks as you do from their answers. It reveals their curiosity and understanding.


Mock Pitch Preparation: Let candidates pitch your product with basic information provided, such as target personas, company size, and common challenges. Avoid setting them up to fail.


Grade with Context: When evaluating candidates, adjust expectations. Benchmark them one level lower than your top AEs to account for their lack of product knowledge.

      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

If you make a mistake while recording a prospecting video, don't discard it. Send it anyway, as it can add authenticity and still lead to positive outcomes.

When you feel the conversation winding down, go straight to asking for the meeting to increase your chances of booking it.

After sending a LinkedIn video, start by asking, "What did you think of the video?" followed by "What didn't you like about the video?" to engage prospects.

Leverage your last interaction—whether it's a video, voicemail, or previous call—as the reason for your next outreach to create continuity and context.

      <title>#401 - Building a Bulletproof Sales Forecast | Taylor Wilding</title>
      <description>Get your forecasting resources

ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS


Commit Deal Essentials: Reps must report four details for commit deals: dollar amount, close date, economic buyer, and their engagement. If not engaged, share the plan to involve them.


Three Forecast Methods: Use a top-down pipeline view, a bottoms-up deal analysis, and AI tools for better forecast accuracy. Combining these improves reliability.


Quarterly Milestones: By month one, secure 50% of forecasted deals. Month two should see 60% closed, leading to 100% by month three.


Prioritize Best Case Deals: Spend less time on commits with clear criteria. Focus on best-case deals and strategies to convert a few more into wins.

      <title>#400 - How to Spot Deals You’ll Actually Close | Johnny Larson</title>
      <description>ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS


Streamline Proposals: Remove unnecessary features to cut costs and stand out from competitors with bloated quotes. If prospects need a feature, they’ll request it, giving you control to reintroduce it strategically.


Ask Questions on RFPs: Use RFP responses to ask about priorities and requirements, opening the door for discovery and tailoring your response to their needs.


Disqualify Early: Disqualify deals if your product isn’t a fit or their problem seems like a “nice-to-have.” Identifying this early saves time and lets you focus on better opportunities.


Test Product Gaps: If a feature is missing, ask how critical it is to their goals. Confirm whether this gap is disqualifying or if the deal can move forward.

      <itunes:summary>ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS


Streamline Proposals: Remove unnecessary features to cut costs and stand out from competitors with bloated quotes. If prospects need a feature, they’ll request it, giving you control to reintroduce it strategically.


Ask Questions on RFPs: Use RFP responses to ask about priorities and requirements, opening the door for discovery and tailoring your response to their needs.


Disqualify Early: Disqualify deals if your product isn’t a fit or their problem seems like a “nice-to-have.” Identifying this early saves time and lets you focus on better opportunities.


Test Product Gaps: If a feature is missing, ask how critical it is to their goals. Confirm whether this gap is disqualifying or if the deal can move forward.

      <title>#399 - 30 Minutes of Advanced Negotiation Strategies | Spencer Ivey | 30MPC Hall of Fame</title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE SALES TAKEAWAYS

During demos, connect features shown to insights gathered during Discovery. Address confusion promptly and facilitate discussions rather than relying on your Solutions Consultant.

Make your effort visible to prospects when working on the business case. Let them know you're actively involved and invite collaboration, which fosters reciprocity.

Refine and finalize your business case incrementally. Use the demo to make the case tangible and save detailed financial discussions for the final business case meeting.

When negotiating and faced with a request for a discount, refrain from immediate responses. Silence can be powerful as it prompts the prospect to reconsider or elaborate on their request.

      <description>Mark and Armand walk through the steps needed to provide effective ongoing training to your sales team.

ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Use a capability &amp; cognitive load matrix to decide what to focus your training on

The best person for the job to be running that training and sales enablement is the most respected rep or manager on the team

Train your managers before you train your teams

Establish existing weekly rhythms then drop the reinforcement into one of those existing rhythms so you're not adding new meetings

      <description>ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS


Ask for Competitor Proposals: If a prospect cites competitor pricing, request their proposal to directly compare offerings and address discrepancies.


Rank Negotiation Priorities: When prospects negotiate on multiple factors, ask them to prioritize what matters most, then focus concessions on top-ranked items.


Meet Two Key Pricing Criteria: Share pricing only when the prospect acknowledges your solution addresses a critical pain and they influence or approve purchasing decisions.


Create a Cost for Discounts: When asked for a discount, request the prospect to identify features or services they are willing to remove, framing concessions as a trade-off.

Explore two types of impact with your prospect: hard metrics (e.g., hours spent, money lost) and soft impact.

Address pain points in other departments to accelerate deals and improve win rates.

Turn situations into problems by asking questions that highlight known pain points with competitors.

If ghosted late in the deal cycle, offer to email the next key contact directly to prompt a response.

      <title>#395 - No BS Advice to Build Company Culture in 2025 | Steph Jenkins </title>
      <description>ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:


Uncover what’s not working: Use varied questions in one-on-ones, like “If you had a magic wand, what would you change?” or “Where have we let you down in the sales cycle?” to surface actionable feedback.

Run radical candor sessions: Gather reps for skip-level feedback on their manager. Facilitate discussions on what the manager should keep, stop, or start doing, and provide actionable feedback to the manager for growth.

Stay connected with the team: Conduct regular skip-level meetings, whether quarterly one-on-ones or group discussions, to maintain trust and understand team challenges directly.

Lead with strategic priorities: Focus on 2-3 key quarterly initiatives, like improving prospecting systems or revamping coaching processes, to drive long-term business impact beyond daily operations.

Leverage Twitter for Outreach: Use X (formerly Twitter) creatively to direct prospects to your personalized email. Vin records and tweets videos at CMOs to grab their attention.


Smart Follow-Up Strategies: If emails aren’t opened, start a new thread. If they’re being opened, reply to the same thread to keep your outreach efforts visible.


Cold Email Framework: Craft emails with an observation, the problem, a solution, and a clear call to action for maximum impact.


Use Unique Triggers for Follow-Ups: Don’t repeat the same email. Write four emails based on different research triggers to keep your outreach relevant and engaging.

      <title>#393 - Master Parallel Selling Strategies to Speed Up Every Deal | Samantha McKenna | 30MPC Hall of Fame</title>
      <description>ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:


Schedule regular meetings with your champion to maintain deal momentum and reduce scheduling friction

Schedule multiple next steps simultaneously if they're not dependent on each other to accelerate the deal.

Determine whether the prospect will present, ask, or inform the board about the purchase, and prepare accordingly.

Ask your champion questions that they might not know, prompting them to involve higher-ups who can provide answers.

      <title>#392 - How To Run a "Land &amp; Expand" The Right Way (Eleanor Dorfman, ReTool)</title>
      <description>ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:



Segmented Team Structure: Down-market teams focus on landing new logos, passing them to expand teams, while up-market AEs handle both acquisition and expansion with retention-based comp.


Enterprise Sales Strategies: Use top-down (sell wall-to-wall) or land-and-expand approaches, with the latter yielding higher LTV by scaling through business units first.


Deal Inspection Triggers: Monitor $50K deals at stage 3 for POCs and access to power, and stage 5 for mutual action plans and the paper process.


Consistent Review Rhythm: Reps update pipelines Monday, managers review Tuesday, deal reviews happen Wednesday, and Eleanor finalizes calls Thursday.

- Global Head of Commercial Retention &amp; Regional Director of Commercial Sales @ Segment

      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Gauge your prospect’s enthusiasm by asking where they fall on a scale from one to ten, providing more insight than a simple yes/no question.

Ask your prospect what they discuss in internal meetings to tailor your pitch to resonate with their executive team.

Avoid showing too much software to prevent prospects from associating the product with unnecessary features and higher costs.

Recap previous conversations and then ask the executive what you might have missed, ensuring you address their specific needs while demonstrating your product.

      <title>#389 - How to Lead a Sales Team From $0 to $100M in 8-Years</title>
      <description>Mark Kosoglow walks through the key skills, responsibilities, and attributes for a Sales Leader at each phase of company growth

Doer Phase (0 to $1M ARR):


The initial stage focused on finding product-market fit.

The sales leader handles everything, including cold calls, demos, building sales systems, and refining the sales process.

They act as an individual contributor, ensuring the company moves forward without distracting other key team members.

Key trait: Being a hands-on, self-reliant executor.


Builder Phase ($1M to $10M ARR):


The leader transitions to hiring and scaling the team, typically starting with individual contributors (AEs and SDRs).

Still involved in selling but begins to set foundational systems, processes, and training.

They document best practices and create repeatable frameworks while maintaining some "doer" responsibilities.

Key trait: Hiring and building effective teams and processes.


Doctor Phase ($10M to $25M ARR):


The leader becomes more metrics-driven, focusing on diagnosing and optimizing performance based on data.

Begins managing managers and spending more time collaborating cross-departmentally (e.g., with RevOps, marketing, and customer success).

Key trait: Using data and metrics (L1 and L2) to prevent thrash and fine-tune the organization’s operations.


Architect Phase ($25M to $100M ARR):


The leader’s role expands to a more executive level, crafting the overall blueprint for the sales organization in alignment with other departments.

Focus on segmentation, pricing strategies, and designing compensation plans that drive desired behaviours.

They influence larger strategic initiatives and ensure the execution aligns with organizational goals.

Key trait: Seeing the big picture and designing a cohesive GTM blueprint.


Communicator Phase ($100M+ ARR):


The leader’s primary role becomes communication: setting clear expectations, timelines, and evaluating the mental models used by the team to meet goals.

The focus shifts outward, ensuring alignment across broader organizational and market dynamics.

Key trait: Clear and effective communication to drive alignment and execution at scale.

      <title>#388 - How to Present HIGHER prices w/o Losing Sales (Belal Batrawy, Death To Fluff) </title>
      <description>ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:


Limit Pricing Options to Three: Offering more than three options overwhelms prospects. Present only the most relevant three to simplify decision-making.

Leverage Value-Add Incentives: Highlight low-cost-to-you, high-value items (like waived fees or extra features) to steer prospects toward larger packages.

Present Pricing with a Range: Start with a floor price and give a range based on factors, allowing flexibility while avoiding sticker shock.

Use Strategic Comparisons: Position your premium option near a slightly lower-tier offer to make it an attractive choice, while avoiding comparisons to much cheaper options.

      <itunes:summary>ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:


Limit Pricing Options to Three: Offering more than three options overwhelms prospects. Present only the most relevant three to simplify decision-making.

Leverage Value-Add Incentives: Highlight low-cost-to-you, high-value items (like waived fees or extra features) to steer prospects toward larger packages.

Present Pricing with a Range: Start with a floor price and give a range based on factors, allowing flexibility while avoiding sticker shock.

Use Strategic Comparisons: Position your premium option near a slightly lower-tier offer to make it an attractive choice, while avoiding comparisons to much cheaper options.

      <title>#387 - Hall of Fame: Josh Braun</title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Start by assuming the prospect has researched your solution if they say yes suggest a common objection why they didn't pursue it, if they say no then ask a question to highlight a knowledge gap

When explaining your solution, emphasize the before state and the problems associated with it to create contrast with your solution's end-state

Ask about specific situations to accurately identify the exact problems the prospect is facing

Learn and practice delivering problem stories that are tailored to each potential situation your buyers may be in

      <title>#385 - The Secret to Uncovering True Buyer Motivation in Seconds (Garrett Palmer, Pipedrive)</title>
      <description>ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:



Start with “Why Did You Take the Call?”: Kick off by understanding the prospect’s motivation. For inbound leads, ask directly, "What prompted you to reach out?" For outbound, ask, "What made you take this meeting with me?" This reveals their needs and priorities.


Reserve Time for Next Steps: Set aside five minutes at the end to confirm logistics or plan a follow-up. If you need more time to dive into key topics, suggest scheduling another call.


Demo Based on Pain Points: Order your demo around the most pressing pain points the prospect mentioned. Address their biggest challenges first to maintain their engagement and show value quickly.


Recommend, Don’t Upsell: Avoid pushing the premium package. Focus on the solution that best meets their needs to prevent overwhelming them and risking the deal.

      <title>#384 - Hall of Fame: Joe McNeill</title>
      <description>ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS


Embrace Silence: Don't fear pauses in conversations. It's natural to take a moment to think about your next question or response during a conversation with a prospect.


Setting Conditions for Progress: When faced with a contact unwilling to advance your connection, you have two options:

Explicitly ask them what conditions need to be met for them to introduce you to a higher-level contact, like a VP of Marketing.

Decide whether to follow their criteria or to prospect directly to reach your goal.


Groundswell Motion Strategy: In scenarios where a sales cycle starts with an Account Executive (AE), begin by offering assistance to the AE. This approach often leads to reciprocal help, allowing you to eventually ask for an introduction to your champion.


Understanding Motives: It's crucial to discern and address two types of motives, your champion's personal motives and the business or executive motives. Educate your champion on these motives and align them with the broader business objectives to facilitate successful sales efforts.

      <title>#382 - Why Your Cold Call Value Prop Isn't Working | Sales Playbook</title>
      <description>This was a preview from our upcoming course, Cold Calls to President's Club: register for the waitlist here

ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:



No Value Propositions. Buzzwords make you sound like a telemarketer, and benefits fall flat without the context of a problem.


Triggering Problem. Instead, lead with a problem so specific that it triggers your prospect and reminds them of a painful memory.


One-Sentence Solution. If you get the problem right, all you need is one sentence to explain your solution (we do X so that the problem goes away).


Interest-Based CTA. Validate their interest before you ask for the meeting, using softening language, no-based questions, and mini push-aways.

      <itunes:summary>This was a preview from our upcoming course, Cold Calls to President's Club: register for the waitlist here

ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:



No Value Propositions. Buzzwords make you sound like a telemarketer, and benefits fall flat without the context of a problem.


Triggering Problem. Instead, lead with a problem so specific that it triggers your prospect and reminds them of a painful memory.


One-Sentence Solution. If you get the problem right, all you need is one sentence to explain your solution (we do X so that the problem goes away).


Interest-Based CTA. Validate their interest before you ask for the meeting, using softening language, no-based questions, and mini push-aways.

      <title>#379 - Why Most Sales Reps Fail As Managers (Mark &amp; Armand)</title>
      <description>Mark &amp; Armand link up live and in person to discuss the when, how, and who of promoting sales reps to sales managers

ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:



Efficacy in Sales Management: A sales manager’s primary job is to ensure team efficacy while fostering a supportive environment. Effective managers don’t just oversee but actively build up their teams.


Conscious Competence: It’s crucial for managers to understand the "why" behind their actions. Recognizing the reasons behind effective strategies allows managers to drive consistent, purposeful change.


“Taste Test” Before Promotion: Before fully promoting someone to a managerial role, conduct a "taste test" over a quarter to assess fit. Evaluate if they enjoy the role, excel at it, and if their team gravitates toward them as a leader.


Avoid Common Frictions: Avoiding favoritism, limiting who can apply, or promoting based on performance alone (i.e., “super reps”) can lead to friction. Open opportunities for all and emphasize leadership skills over individual sales metrics.

      <title>#376 - How To Develop a Winning Sales Team Culture (Alex Kremer, Alluviance)</title>
      <description>ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS



Foster belonging to engage the prefrontal cortex: Sales reps thrive when they feel they belong, as it activates their prefrontal cortex, leading to passion—a key trait in top reps.


Start with one-on-one exercises before group activities: Begin with individual sessions like "Rosebud Thorne" to ease reps in before moving to larger group exercises.


Use the 'Four H's' to build deeper connections: Ask reps to share four things—history, a hero, a heartbreak, and hope—to foster trust and authenticity.


Gradually share personal insights: Start by setting the example, then have reps journal, share one-on-one, and finally share with the group, building comfort step by step.

      <title>#375 - How To Avoid Competitors Undercutting Your Deals (Johnny Larson, Talkdesk)</title>
      <description>ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS



Know Competitors' Fiscal Periods: Be aware of when your competitors’ fiscal periods end to anticipate price drops and position yourself better.


Phased Approach: When price matters, propose only the essentials for day one to make your quote smaller and easier to accept.


Timeline Stack: Identify key timeline drivers, like contract end dates or business seasonality, to create urgency.

      <description>TOP FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS


Incorporate GIFs or Venn Diagrams in prospecting emails to capture attention effectively.

When prospects mention a competing solution, ask how long they've used it and what prompted their choice to uncover their unresolved needs.

Direct prospects back to email in voicemails; keep initial messages brief and contextual, saving detailed information for follow-ups.

Structure emails to expand on voicemail content, addressing specific pain points or presenting case studies to encourage engagement.

      <title>#373 - How to Use Intent-Based Selling for Huge Sales Development Success (Florin Tatulea, Common Room) </title>
      <description>ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:


Signal Prioritization: Categorize signals (e.g., high-intent, time-based) with different response SLAs to ensure timely outreach.

Call Blitz Culture: Multiple weekly call blitzes with a virtual sales floor create a high-energy, team-building cold calling environment.

Effective Personalization: Don’t rely on signals alone; combine them with company insights to craft personalized, compelling outreach.

80/20 Email Framework: Provide reps with an 80% completed template (signal, company insight, ideal state, light CTA), letting them personalize the final 20%.

      <title>#372 - (Special) Mastering Sales Tonality (Jeremy Miner, 7th Level)</title>
      <description>ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS: 



Facial Expressions Control Tone: Your facial expressions influence your tone. For example, leaning in creates a concerned tone, while tilting your chin up can convey curiosity.


Slow Down Your Questions: Asking questions too quickly leads to poor answers. Slow down the second half of your question to give prospects time to think and respond meaningfully.


Master the Five Types of Tone: Use different tones—curious, confused, concerned, challenging, and playful—to guide conversations and elicit the right responses.


Challenge Prospects with a Direct Tone: A challenging tone helps push prospects to take action, especially when addressing tough issues like low-quality leads.

      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

To learn about what’s going on in other parts of your organization, get on the email alias distribution lists.

Build out your go team of people that you can rely on in legal, product, marketing, deal desk, etc. so that you’re never stuck trying to figure out how to get a function to help you with a deal.

To determine the next steps and what’s important to a buyer, ask, “Say you’re evaluating a few technologies, and they’re similar. What are the things that make you pick one over the other?”

When dealing with technical buyers, always under promise so you don't lose credibility.

      <title>#365 - The Ultimate Guide to Effective Sales Call Reviews (Armand Farrokh)</title>
      <description>TOP ACTIONABLE SALES TAKEAWAYS:



Layer your discovery tree: After a prospect speaks, pull up your discovery tree and ask, "Where are we now?" Identify if they mentioned a situation, problem, or impact, and discuss where to guide them next, actively engaging your team.


Keep it punchy and efficient: Drive the screen share, skip small talk, and use the transcript instead of video to review sessions faster, aiming for under 30 minutes.


Prep before discovery calls: Reps should know the expected problem and who they’re meeting. Also, plan who they should meet with next after the call.


Three key questions: Focus on what the prospect said, what to ask next, and evaluate the rep's performance. Keep the discussion centered on these points.

      <title>#364 - Own the Sales Cycle: How to Take Command from Call One (John Barrows)</title>
      <description>Join John's Newsletter

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS


Executive time crunch: If an exec only has five minutes instead of 30, ask, "What’s the one thing you need to hear to earn another meeting with your full attention?" Focus on that.


Lead with a hypothesis: Instead of asking generic discovery questions, start with a hypothesis about their priorities based on research, showing you did your homework.


Decision criteria: Prospects may focus on the wrong decision factors. Share a list of common criteria and ask them to rank their priorities to guide the discussion.


Demo as you go: Don't save all product demos for the end. Show small pieces of the product during the conversation, interspersing discovery throughout.

      <title>#362 - Find Top 1% Sellers with Proven Outbound Recruiting Tactics (Armand Farrokh, 30MPC)</title>
      <description>TOP ACTIONABLE SALES TAKEAWAYS:



Connect with your team: Be connected with everyone at your company to easily back-channel info about candidates through mutual connections.


Three-step candidate drip: Use a three-message drip when outbounding candidates—intro, bubble-up, and ask for referrals if they aren’t interested.


Mini-pitch framework: Pitch by sharing your personal story, explaining your team’s philosophy, and highlighting what impressed you about the candidate.


Sell before screening: Don’t grill outbound candidates. Ask them to brag about what sets them apart, and judge their quality based on that.

<strong>Mini-pitch framework:</strong> Pitch by sharing your personal story, explaining your team’s philosophy, and highlighting what impressed you about the candidate.</li>
<li>
<strong>Sell before screening:</strong> Don’t grill outbound candidates. Ask them to brag about what sets them apart, and judge their quality based on that.</li>

      <title>#361 - Tactical Steps to Speed Up Your Sales Cycle (Brian Lochner, Terminus)</title>
      <description>Get our free Account Research toolkit

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS


Mixtape Demo: Instead of sending a full 60-minute demo recording, send short, highlight snippets that prospects can easily share and digest.


Clarify Vague Terms: When prospects use broad terms like "ABM," ask them to define what it means in their context to get more specific insights.


Match Test Demo: Customize demos by using the prospect’s own data to show how your product works with their top accounts, making the experience more relevant.


Real-World Business Case: Use the results from the match test to build a realistic business case, avoiding inflated ROI figures and focusing on actual outcomes.

      <title>#359 - How to Eliminate the 'No Decision' Risk and Close More Deals (Brian LaManna, Gong)</title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Multi Single-Threading: After a big team meeting, send individual follow-up messages to key stakeholders. This helps build relationships without asking for anything, creating future points of contact.

Daily Pipeline Review: Every day, look at your deals and think of specific actions to increase your chances of winning, maintaining daily momentum across opportunities.

Win One Stakeholder at a Time: Focus on winning over stakeholders one by one at different stages—manager during discovery, director during the demo, and VP at the big team meeting.

Structured Sales Cycle: Brian’s sales process follows a clear path: discovery, demo, big team demo, pilot, and finally commercial negotiation.

      <title>#358 - Hall of Fame: Maddy Jackson</title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

If you feel like you have leverage in a deal, but haven't gotten in front of the right stakeholders to progress the deal, use that as a non-negotiable to begin negotiations

Sit down and write down your own "Gives" and "Gets" that you can trade with your buyer during a sales cycle

Someone liking your offering does not make them an effective champion, ask questions like "Is {title} aware of these conversations?" to test them

 When trying to get access to power use labelling statements like "I often hear {title} likes to weigh in, is that the same for you?"

      <title>#356 - Having Immediate Impact When Taking Over a Sales Team (Chris Nethercote, Common Room)</title>
      <description>ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS


Empower your reps with a clear discount menu, outlining what’s approved for negotiations. Include things like signing during the trial, committing to case studies, or G2 reviews to speed up late-stage deals.

Before taking over a team or segment, review call recordings and data like sales cycle length and ACV to identify where you can have the biggest impact.

Assess the spacing between sales calls and find opportunities to consolidate steps or reduce gaps to shorten the sales cycle.

Introduce a structured proof of concept (POC) with three defined calls over 14 days, dictating trial activities and clear exit criteria for smoother decision-making.

Introduce a structured proof of concept (POC) with three defined calls over 14 days, dictating trial activities and clear exit criteria for smoother decision-making.

      <title>#355 - Ask Tough Sales Questions Without Making it Awkward (Charles Muhlbauer, AlphaSense)</title>
      <description>﻿ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Instead of focusing on quantifying pain, ask deeper questions about the problem’s origins and previous solutions, this will naturally reveal the impact

Find out if the problem is known and cared about across the company or just by one person

Ask easy, non-pushy questions like “Why is that a problem?” to get the prospect to share the impact without feeling pressured

Position involving decision-makers as beneficial for them, making it easier to get in front of power

      <title>#352 - Challenging Your Reps on Their Deal Risks (Chris Surdi, Ascend) </title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Instead of lecturing a rep who hasn't followed expectations, ask what's preventing them from doing the task. This helps identify roadblocks or allows the rep to own up to the issue.

When discussing reasons for making a change, focus on three questions: Why do anything? Why with us? Why now? The "why now" should have a specific date tied to an event.

Link the urgency of change to concrete events, such as a software switch, new hire, market trends, or growth initiatives like entering a new market.

Ask your reps key questions like when the economic buyer last bought something similar and who typically pays for software in their industry to ensure they understand the buyer’s decision-making process.

      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS

In rip-and-replace deals, start by asking why the existing solution was chosen to understand the problems and motivations behind it.

Late in the deal, confirm with your champion if you’re their top choice. Use their guidance to strengthen your position against competitors.

When prospects compare you to competitors, suggest specific aspects to evaluate that highlight your strengths and expose competitors' weaknesses.

In rip-and-replace deals, emphasize key product gaps that significantly impact the business, and ensure decision-makers are committed to addressing them.

      <title>#350 - Hall of Fame: Nick Casale</title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Do not neglect internal research when you're preparing for a sales call. Find out if your company has spoken to them before and dig internally.

Prep for your sales calls by understanding lookalike conversations your team has had in the past.

Use the lighthouse email to engage someone at the top, mid-deal cycle. Don’t just pull them into the boat. Let them know that the boat is there and you have an awesome champion so they can affirm you’re in the right place.

Don’t say “AI” in your sales call. Instead, focus on the problem they want to solve and what they want to do.

      <title>#349 - How to Navigate Firing, Hiring, and PIPs as a Leader (Ken Amar, Agoge Prospecting School)</title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS

Clearly communicate metrics, quotas, and potential performance improvement plans (PIP) during onboarding

Design compensation plans that allow top performers to earn substantial rewards. To gain approval from finance, include decelerators where reps who don't reach 70% of quota earn no commission.

When turning around an SDR team,iIntroduce new talent by hiring fresh SDRs and replacing underperformers to inject new energy into the team.

Use a pod system (e.g., 4 AEs to 2 SDRs). This allows AEs to focus on key accounts while SDRs work on B and C tier accounts, generating additional meetings.

      <itunes:summary>FOUR ACTIONABLE LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS

Clearly communicate metrics, quotas, and potential performance improvement plans (PIP) during onboarding

Design compensation plans that allow top performers to earn substantial rewards. To gain approval from finance, include decelerators where reps who don't reach 70% of quota earn no commission.

When turning around an SDR team,iIntroduce new talent by hiring fresh SDRs and replacing underperformers to inject new energy into the team.

Use a pod system (e.g., 4 AEs to 2 SDRs). This allows AEs to focus on key accounts while SDRs work on B and C tier accounts, generating additional meetings.

      <title>#348 - Mastering Multichannel Sales: How to Combine Cold Calls with Other Outreach (Sara Uy, Pareto)</title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

If you make a mistake while recording a prospecting video, don't discard it. Send it anyway, as it can add authenticity and still lead to positive outcomes.

When you feel the conversation winding down, go straight to asking for the meeting to increase your chances of booking it.

After sending a LinkedIn video, start by asking, "What did you think of the video?" followed by "What didn't you like about the video?" to engage prospects.

Leverage your last interaction—whether it's a video, voicemail, or previous call—as the reason for your next outreach to create continuity and context.

      <title>#347 - Hall of Fame: Charles Muhlbauer</title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

If you say yes to doing something for a prospect and then realize you shouldn’t have offered that, call them to apologize.

If you are giving reasons to a prospect for why something they asked for is not the best idea, make those reasons about them and in their best interest.

Don't chase tennis balls. Create equal footing by getting something before we just jump to giving.

Be a guide, not a servant. Buyers are not looking for us to say yes to everything. Evaluate every ask through “is this actually the best way for the buyer to get what they're looking for?”

      <title>#346 - 5 Steps to Become the Sales Leader That Inspires Your Team (David Priemer, Cerebral Selling)</title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Delegate regular tasks, such as skill-building sessions in team meetings, to your reps to encourage leadership development and lighten your workload.

When introducing new narratives or initiatives, provide a clear example of what good execution looks like, so your team knows what to aim for.

Be transparent with your team about the reasons behind significant changes, such as quota increases or territory shifts, to help them understand and accept the decisions.

Create a safe environment for reps by making it acceptable to forecast low numbers if that’s the reality, with categories for worst-case, most likely, and best-case scenarios.

      <title>#344 - Hall of Fame: Chase Macaione</title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS

How engaged someone is on LinkedIn is a proxy of how good of a champion they'll be for you as a buyer.

What you do in a call differs from what you want to get out of a call. The agenda is what you want to do, but make sure to explicitly say what you want to have coming out of the call.

Have reps come in with a hypothesis or a POV based on what they see about the company. If the company is shrinking, the way you do discovery will be different from if it is growing.

List out discovery questions to get people from high-level pain to deeper pain.

      <title>#342 - Proven Methods for Coaching AEs to Master Discovery and Close More Deals (Sean Gentry, WebFlow) (Sean Gentry, WebFlow)</title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS

Ensure every deal in your CRM includes the date, specific next step, and goal to make pipeline reviews more outcome-focused.

Use one-on-one meetings with reps for targeted role plays to better prepare for upcoming meetings, rather than generic team-wide role plays.

Assess early-stage deals by confirming if there's a recognized problem and if the prospect is willing to solve it with you.

Focus on evaluating large early-stage deals first during pipeline reviews, as they are often more crucial than late-stage deals.

      <title>#340 - Master Parallel Selling Strategies to Speed Up Every Deal (Samantha McKenna, #samsales Consulting)</title>
      <description>ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:


Schedule regular meetings with your champion to maintain deal momentum and reduce scheduling friction

Schedule multiple next steps simultaneously if they're not dependent on each other to accelerate the deal.

Determine whether the prospect will present, ask, or inform the board about the purchase, and prepare accordingly.

Ask your champion questions that they might not know, prompting them to involve higher-ups who can provide answers.

Call me in 6 months: Find the most relevant timing-based trigger for ANY time in the year to drive the evaluation.

Not interested: Is it because you’re not interested in influencer software or is it something I said?

Who is this: Run right back into the permission-based opener again.

I hate cold calls: Try to set up a non-cold call and get out of their way.

      <title>#337 - How to Avoid Hiring the Wrong Sales Reps and Build a Winning Team (John Sherer, Growth Assistant)</title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS

Ask why the candidate is leaving their current job and why they want to join yours. This assesses their storytelling ability, crucial for sales.

Once you want to hire someone, sell them on your company but also highlight potential downsides. This builds trust and sets realistic expectations.

If unsure about a hire, don't proceed. Second-guessing can lead to issues and regret.

Offer positions without negotiating compensation. Emphasize performance-based pay; top earners prove it on the leaderboard.

      <title>#336 - Asking The Right Questions on Cold Calls (Josh Braun, Braun Training)</title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Start by assuming the prospect has researched your solution if they say yes suggest a common objection why they didn't pursue it, if they say no then ask a question to highlight a knowledge gap

When explaining your solution, emphasize the before state and the problems associated with it to create contrast with your solution's end-state

Ask about specific situations to accurately identify the exact problems the prospect is facing

Learn and practice delivering problem stories that are tailored to each potential situation your buyers may be in

      <title>#335 - Hall of Fame: Sara Plowman</title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Use “That’s exactly why I called.” When your prospect shares a problem or a priority that they have, make that your reason for booking a meeting and go right in for the close on the cold call.

Call nine before nine, and five after five. Those early morning and evening dials can be some of the best ways to increase your connect rate with hard-to-reach prospects.

After your opener, go through the parts of your pitch, but end with an open-ended question.

You can either go into “That’s why we should meet” if they give you those three priorities or roll with the objection - “Let me tell you how we work alongside and supplement a recruiter.”

      <itunes:summary>FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Use “That’s exactly why I called.” When your prospect shares a problem or a priority that they have, make that your reason for booking a meeting and go right in for the close on the cold call.

Call nine before nine, and five after five. Those early morning and evening dials can be some of the best ways to increase your connect rate with hard-to-reach prospects.

After your opener, go through the parts of your pitch, but end with an open-ended question.

You can either go into “That’s why we should meet” if they give you those three priorities or roll with the objection - “Let me tell you how we work alongside and supplement a recruiter.”

      <title>#333 - Founder-Led Sales: Taking Your Startup to Market (Peter Kazanjy, Atrium)</title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE FOUNDER TAKEAWAYS


Your first customers should come from the founder

Avoid steering the discovery conversation in a preferred direction, let the conversation flow naturally and meet the customer where they are.

If the conversation is going well and the customer acknowledges the problem and believes in your solution, consider bringing them on as a pilot customer.

If you're not ready to solve the big problem yet, launch a customer advisory board. Offer a small amount of equity to early advisors who can help develop your product to the point where it can address a significant issue.

      <title>#332 - Get Ahead of Deal Killers by Asking Buyers the Hard Questions Upfront (Steven Bryerton, ZoomInfo)</title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Gauge your prospect’s enthusiasm by asking where they fall on a scale from one to ten, providing more insight than a simple yes/no question.

Ask your prospect what they discuss in internal meetings to tailor your pitch to resonate with their executive team.

Avoid showing too much software to prevent prospects from associating the product with unnecessary features and higher costs.

Recap previous conversations and then ask the executive what you might have missed, ensuring you address their specific needs while demonstrating your product.

      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Call your below-the-line org. contacts to gather intel that you can bring up when having above-the-line conversations.

Try to get a direct referral to your target persona, next best would be “permission to mention X’s name”, next best would be using the information from X’s conversation when contacting the target.

Use “[X] said we should speak” as a simple, attention-grabbing subject line for the target persona.

Document all your conversations in your CRM notes at the prospect AND account level for easy recall in future outreach.

      <title>#326 - Interview Smarter: Using Roleplays to Identify Top Sales Talent (Brooke Freedman, Chameleon)</title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS

Sales leaders need to stop observing from the sidelines and actively participate in deals as player-coaches, even if they are CROs.

Giving candidates extensive preparation materials for role plays allows for a more accurate evaluation of their abilities.

Replaying specific parts of a role play multiple times can effectively demonstrate a candidate's coachability.

Hiring decisions should be unequivocally positive or negative, avoiding the temptation to settle for average candidates.

      <title>#325 - The Perfect Deal Negotiation Process (Armand Farrokh, 30MPC)</title>
      <description>TOP ACTIONABLE SALES TAKEAWAYS:


Act surprised and maintain confidence when faced with resistance on price; don't normalize discounts or concessions easily.

Make each concession painful for the customer; show that every request comes with effort and negotiation, preventing them from expecting easy wins.

Act as if achieving approvals for concessions is difficult and uncertain, emphasizing the rarity and challenge of gaining internal approvals.

Finish negotiations in two parts if necessary, using options to force a final trade-off that emphasizes the value of each choice, encouraging a more strategic decision-making process.

      <title>#324 - Hall of Fame: Will Padilla </title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

When asked for pricing early, give a range but hold the other key pricing details until you get feedback.

If you’re getting ongoing buying objections, suggest that it may be too early to be talking.

Get to the true objection when someone asks to be sent more information.

Before giving any discounts, get clear commitment on timing. And make it clear that if there’s a slip, it starts back at standard pricing.

Do not try and fix something that's working in order to compensate for low metrics, look at the indicating metrics and fix those 

Have Account Executives dedicate 20% of their time to prospecting a set list of walled off (named) accounts

Break out your inbound and outbound metrics to make it easier to diagnose the problem if one of those two metrics is falling behind

      <title>#322 - Set Yourself Up for Negotiation Success by Crafting Your Business Case Early (Spencer Ivey, Webflow)</title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE SALES TAKEAWAYS

During demos, connect features shown to insights gathered during Discovery. Address confusion promptly and facilitate discussions rather than relying on your Solutions Consultant.

Make your effort visible to prospects when working on the business case. Let them know you're actively involved and invite collaboration, which fosters reciprocity.

Refine and finalize your business case incrementally. Use the demo to make the case tangible and save detailed financial discussions for the final business case meeting.

When negotiating and faced with a request for a discount, refrain from immediate responses. Silence can be powerful as it prompts the prospect to reconsider or elaborate on their request.

      <title>#321 - Hall of Fame: Stevie Case</title>
      <description>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.

      <itunes:summary>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.

      <title>#320 - Driving Accountability and Empowering Sales Teams for Peak Performance (Jason Bay, Outbound Squad)</title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS

Hold regular one-on-one meetings, set public goals in team meetings, and use midweek check-ins to monitor and adjust prospecting efforts to ensure accountability and goal achievement.

When implementing new initiatives, enlist team members who excel in those areas as champions. Their involvement and sharing of experiences will enhance adoption and effectiveness across the team.

Utilize top-performing team members to shape and structure enablement sessions. This ensures that training content is practical, comprehensive, and directly applicable to real-world scenarios.

Calculate the number of opportunities and meetings needed to meet sales quotas based on win rates and conversion rates. This systematic approach provides clarity and a roadmap for achieving sales targets effectively.

      <title>#318 - Hall of Fame: Shay Keeler </title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Monday morning opportunity hit list: create a list of opportunities that don’t have next steps or told you to call back around this time.

If someone’s shopping competitors, plant landmines for them to ask for specific pitfalls during the competitive demo.

When you’re waiting for them to finish the competitive evaluation, make a goodwill introduction to a resource that will help them.

Review your pipeline by asking: What’s the persona? Do I understand the decision? What’s my next step? If there isn’t one, what am I doing to get one?

      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:


Introduce frontline manager talent pulse meetings involving key stakeholders (yourself, frontline manager, HR partner, and sales ops) to comprehensively review both quantitative and qualitative seller performance data.

Maintain frontline manager capacity at optimal levels (typically up to eight sellers per manager) to ensure effective control and stability in sales force management.

Implement a structured 90-day ramp-up process for new hires, progressing from training to practical tasks like territory familiarization, prospecting, and live calls, to consistently exceed sales plan expectations.

Clearly articulate and differentiate between commitment (worst-case scenario) and forecast (expected performance) figures when reporting to stakeholders, ensuring transparency and accuracy in sales projections.

      <title>#316 - Building Champions Who Will Get The Deal Done (Joe McNeill, Influ2)</title>
      <description>ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS


Embrace Silence: Don't fear pauses in conversations. It's natural to take a moment to think about your next question or response during a conversation with a prospect.


Setting Conditions for Progress: When faced with a contact unwilling to advance your connection, you have two options:

Explicitly ask them what conditions need to be met for them to introduce you to a higher-level contact, like a VP of Marketing.

Decide whether to follow their criteria or to prospect directly to reach your goal.


Groundswell Motion Strategy: In scenarios where a sales cycle starts with an Account Executive (AE), begin by offering assistance to the AE. This approach often leads to reciprocal help, allowing you to eventually ask for an introduction to your champion.


Understanding Motives: It's crucial to discern and address two types of motives, your champion's personal motives and the business or executive motives. Educate your champion on these motives and align them with the broader business objectives to facilitate successful sales efforts.

      <title>#315 - Hall of Fame: Vin Matano </title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Pick 5-10 accounts per week and focus all of your energy on them. That might look like sending emails Monday and Wednesday, then going multichannel on Friday.

Use email as your hub and other channels as your spokes with your CTA on the other channels pointing back to your email.

The email channel can get flooded; get creative with other channels like Twitter. Vin was able to book a meeting off of a backward jump shot.

Use email to keep threading throughout your sales cycle. One way to do this is through direct mail.

      <itunes:summary>FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Pick 5-10 accounts per week and focus all of your energy on them. That might look like sending emails Monday and Wednesday, then going multichannel on Friday.

Use email as your hub and other channels as your spokes with your CTA on the other channels pointing back to your email.

The email channel can get flooded; get creative with other channels like Twitter. Vin was able to book a meeting off of a backward jump shot.

Use email to keep threading throughout your sales cycle. One way to do this is through direct mail.

      <title>#312 - Hall of Fame: Discovery</title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Have a prep call with your champion before the demo. Identify who is in the room, what they want to get out of the call, and how past demos have gone.

Connect what you’re selling to something that hits the P&amp;L. Get one deep business impact, and tell one story that shows people that you can solve their problem.

Get your prospect to tell you a story by using “typically” language to help prompt them with ideas that typically come up.

Ensure the problem you are solving is not an isolated incident. Ask: Is this happening frequently, or just a one-off?

      <title>#311 - Running Sales Team Meetings That Actually Move The Needle (Armand Farrokh, 30MPC)</title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS

When you do a training introduce a topic then run 3 meetings to go deep on that topic, A.K.A. "The 1/3"

Consider running team training on Fridays to give reps the weekend to digest and when there are fewer distractions

The mantras of the Monday morning meeting, if it's the beginning of the month you're talking about top of funnel, if it's the middle of the month you're talking about multithreading, if it's the end of the month you're talking about contracts

When doing coaching always ask the rep for their feedback before you give your own so it doesn't feel like an attack and you don't tell them what they already know

      <title>#310 - Unconventional Approaches to Cold Calling (Matthew Mazankowski, Boomerang</title>
      <description>Free Guide: 3 Tactics to Drive Mid-Funnel Deals to Close

FOUR ACTIONABLE SALES TAKEAWAYS

Do not spend excessive time researching when sometimes calling the account may be the fastest way to get information

Be like the restaurant that is calling you to make a reservation to avoid no shows, send reminders, and set an agenda ahead of time

When telling a customer story describe the persona who felt the problem, the annoyances they felt, the scenery they were in when they felt the problem, and the emotions they felt

If confirming a meeting within one week send a reminder the day before if confirming a meeting more than a week out do a 1 week and day before reminder

      <itunes:summary>Free Guide: 3 Tactics to Drive Mid-Funnel Deals to Close

FOUR ACTIONABLE SALES TAKEAWAYS

Do not spend excessive time researching when sometimes calling the account may be the fastest way to get information

Be like the restaurant that is calling you to make a reservation to avoid no shows, send reminders, and set an agenda ahead of time

When telling a customer story describe the persona who felt the problem, the annoyances they felt, the scenery they were in when they felt the problem, and the emotions they felt

If confirming a meeting within one week send a reminder the day before if confirming a meeting more than a week out do a 1 week and day before reminder

      <title>#309 - Hall of Fame: Kevin "KD" Dorsey</title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

PPI (Problem, Pain, Impact): Get agreement on a problem, understand the pain the problem causes, and identify what that means for the buyer and the business.

Use bucket questions to get problem agreement. Weave the top 3 problems into your opening questions. 

When someone tells you what they want, restate it as a pain point. Turn solutions into problems. 

The transition between discovery and demo is the perfect time for “might make sense”.

      <title>#308 - Coaching SDR Teams and SDR Leaders (Melissa Lui, AirGarage)</title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Structure your SDR 1:1 as follows, start with their agenda and what's top of mind for them, then do a pipe review for accounts they intend to book, then review a good &amp; bad call, finally talk about their career goals

Set the expectation with your SDR they need to drive the agenda from onboarding onwards

Do a SDR forecast by reviewing cold (not contacted), warm (contacted and qualified), and hot (contacted, qualified, and some interest)

Train team on process, probing, and provoking GAP Questions by asking them to write down all the problems their buyers may be facing, then work backwards to outline the questions they can ask to uncover them

      <title>#306 - Hall of Fame: Ryan Reisert</title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Use the 80/20 principle - if someone hasn’t picked up within 5 calls, start expanding your efforts in the other channels.

Prioritize direct dials &amp; operations (their job is to transfer you). Avoid gatekeepers when possible.

Document your channel validation. For phones: direct vs operator, validated vs not validated, etc.

Focus on the tone/pace of your opener vs the words themselves. Then preface with the intent of your call to lower their guard.

      <title>#305 - Cloning Your Top Reps by Identifying What Good Looks Like (Kevin "KD" Dorsey)</title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

When working with reps and trying to help them improve, work backwards from what you want to the prospect to say then build what they need to do to get them to say that

Coach forward vs. backwards, coach to prepare so that future performance will be better and they feel more prepared for actual scenarios approaching

Have each one "What Great Looks Like" exercise per manager per quarter, pick one metric, find the rep who is the best at that, then diagnose the different behaviours they exhibit to adopt across the rest of your team

Use the "Four Ds" to roll out WGLL across your team - define what good looks like, document it, demonstrate it with training, and deliberately practice it by scoring reps performing the new tactics on calls

      <title>#303 - Hall of Fame: Chris Orlob</title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Ask your inbound leads what prompted them to take the call.

Start your calls with outbound leads by calling out that they might not know what you do and explaining the problems you solve. Then make the transition into discovery. 

Categorize buyers’ answers into problem language or solutions language. Buyers often answer “problem” questions with solutions, so ensure you get the problem language.

Avoid discovery fatigue with a mix of emotionally intelligent techniques. (Examples: quick customer stories, summarizing, questions)

      <title>#302 - Keeping Reps Accountable to Their Forecasts (John Sherer, Growth Assistant)</title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS

Do a bi-weekly "pipe squeeze" (pipeline review) with each rep share your screen and take notes as you go to save time &amp; maintain control

Discounts drive velocity, when a deal has stalled or there is no next step, use a manager email to see if a pricing incentive will move the close date

Ask the same 5 questions in deal review - Deal size, deal close date, buyer buy in, next step, and any incentives on the deal. Send the update to your leader for upward transparency

Only have reps forecast deals in pipeline for the month then run the historical math to see what may change both positive or negative

      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Don’t let the fear of breaking rapport prevent you from asking for the next step.

Answer the yes-or-no questions and SHUT UP!

Figure out their vision through discovery, then tell the story of their business in terms of how other world class teams use you to achieve it.

Turn the CEO's team into your champions to get the inside scoop on everything about them beforehand.

      <title>#298 - Rep Shadowing &amp; Ridealongs Done Right (Paul Canty, Pulley)</title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS

Shadowing to remind yourself and your reps of the basics to spot opportunity areas

Setting a goal without a "how" is not a real goal, you have to understand how a rep is going to reach the goal while setting them

Always level with reps before you shadow a call to clarify the role they want you to play on the call &amp; tell them what you hope

Use "Mr.Potato Head" personalization to ramp reps from generic persona based personalizaiton, to trigger based personalization, to full email personalization

      <title>#297 - May Special: Negotiation ft. Chris Voss (part 2)</title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

When responding to another parties asks in a negotiation, co-create the solution with them rather than going away and making a new offer to ensure they feel like it was a collaborative exercise

When prospects do things you like, label their actions positively to give them affirmations and encourage further positive actions

When aligning on a solution that works don't agree too quickly because the prospect will think they could've gotten a better deal, use a label like "Seems like that would be a good deal for you..." 

Use the "Late Night DJ" voice to draw lines without having to say "no" or confront your buyers

      <title>#295 - Enterprise Pipeline Reviews &amp; Deal Planning (Greg Baumann, Outreach)</title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS

Ask your reps to think about the "first win" they can make with a large account

Look for "Alumni" who have recently left key accounts who might be able to make introductions or provide information for your reps to use

Have your reps record "Last Activity" and "Next Meeting" on their opportunities so you can quickly scan through your dashboard and see which deals are at risk and need more attention

If your team have opportunities with next steps far into the future ask "did the rep follow up and did they get a response?" if the answer is no more work is needed

      <title>#294 - May Special: Negotiation ft. Chris Voss (Part 1)</title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Condition your prospect for future interactions by giving them time back in their calendar &amp; leaving them on a positive note

Do not talk to people when they are distracted,

Labelling someone's emotion builds trust and gets them to tell you more information for example "It seems like the value isn't there for you"

If someone is asking for an unreasonable discount get them to think about the potential implication of fit by saying "How are we supposed to deliver {value} while lowering our price?"

Test your rep's call from numbers to be sure they aren't being marked as "spam likely"

      <title>#290 - Hall of Fame: Morgan Melo</title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Use typically language and stories to gain credibility with your prospect, leading to deeper discovery.

Ask your champion how they plan on justifying a purchase to the larger org. This aligns you to business level problems and also serves as champion validation. 

Mirror multithreading in the sales cycle. Bring a VP for a CXO. Bring an SE for a technical buyer. Bring in product for someone cross-functional.

Leverage your own senior leaders to story-tell and pull in the people at power during the demo.

      <title>#289 - Lead Playbook Part 2: Mark and Armand on How to Structure Your Interviews to Hire Great Sales Talent</title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS

Designate specific people to cover very specific topics in the interview process so they can get really good at those core competencies. Leave the generic questions to another company.

When you got them hooked, talk them out of it. If you can talk them out of it, they wouldn’t have worked out anyway.

Sell early, grill after. Get someone to opt in by selling them on your goals and your mission. Then, gain their respect by grilling the heck out of them.

Each step in the process should test for different dimensions of sales and should be handled by different people with that expertise.

      <title>#288 - Testing Champions and Getting to Power (Maddy Jackson, Webflow)</title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

If you feel like you have leverage in a deal, but haven't gotten in front of the right stakeholders to progress the deal, use that as a non-negotiable to begin negotiations

Sit down and write down your own "Gives" and "Gets" that you can trade with your buyer during a sales cycle

Someone liking your offering does not make them an effective champion, ask questions like "Is {title} aware of these conversations?" to test them

 When trying to get access to power use labelling statements like "I often hear {title} likes to weigh in, is that the same for you?"

      <title>#287 - Hall of Fame: Krysten Conner</title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Start with a menu of pain: the 3 biggest problems that any given persona can face.

Once you align on the problem, ask, “What’s prompting that need?”.

You can start talking about solutions once you have an executive-level problem (e.g. down round, churn problem).

Use individual contributors, like AEs, for inside intel on the organization. Then use their quotes on 1-2 slides when meeting with VP or CXO.

      <title>#286 - Lead Playbook Part 1: Armand and Mark on What to Look for When Hiring Great Sales Talent</title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS

Name and define your competencies

Be extremely intentional about how you are going to interview those competencies. Get into the nitty gritty about how you are going to assess for work ethic.

Test for traits like IQ, EQ, coachability, and work ethic earlier in the process as they are the hardest to teach. Industry domain expertise and even skills like prospecting are much easier to teach.

Match sales cycle and sales environment. Don’t put an SMB rep into an enterprise role and don’t put an Oracle rep into the first sales hire role at a startup.

      <title>#285 - Using Your Comp Plan to Guide Deal Negotiation (Jacob Karp, Rubrik)</title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Break into prospects when they are speaking at conferences. If you see somebody from the really-tough-to-break-into account speaking at a conference, go to their talk and sit in that talk. At the end, introduce yourself to the speaker and make a point of connection with them.

Avoid name-dropping obscure customers. When you are prospecting into more sensitive industries, don't name-drop non-publicly referenceable customers.

Your goal is to get into the talk-to folder. You want to be in that folder so that they know who to contact when something bad happens.

Think creatively with your outreach. We are not just limited to emails and phone calls and DMs. Be present where they're coming together.

      <title>#284 - Hall of Fame: Charly Johnson</title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Start your email with research personalization to stand out in the inbox (vs generic greeting).

Quote the prospect/company directly by researching where the company is investing its money (e.g. in job postings, funding announcements).

Use a more humanized approach when prospecting. Sharing something you both have in common in the P.S. is a great place to add a human touch.

Reach out to your prospect immediately after they engage with your content - no need to wait for the next sequence step.

      <title>#283 - Turning Pressure to Productivity for Happier Reps (Adam Ochart, Gong)</title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS

The best reps never ask the same question twice.

Turn pressure to productivity. Our job as leaders isn’t to pass pressure; it’s to use pressure to get more out of our reps.

Ask your reps, “I look forward to seeing how you answer that question.”

Listen early, join late. Pre-prep and game planning will save you some time in the long run.

      <title>#282 - Winning Technical Deals by Leveraging Your Entire Company (Shelby Ferson, Databricks)</title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

To learn about what’s going on in other parts of your organization, get on the email alias distribution lists.

Build out your go team of people that you can rely on in legal, product, marketing, deal desk, etc. so that you’re never stuck trying to figure out how to get a function to help you with a deal.

To determine the next steps and what’s important to a buyer, ask, “Say you’re evaluating a few technologies, and they’re similar. What are the things that make you pick one over the other?”

When dealing with technical buyers, always under promise so you don't lose credibility.

Challenge your prospect on fit early and often to test buy-in.

Set landmines for competitors during the requirement-gathering phase.

Require an exec-level bridge with your CEO instead of spending hours on an RFP.

      <title>#280 - Why Your SDR Team Should Be Pipe Gen Forecasting (Maya Connet, Clari)</title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS

Booked meetings over the last 2 quarters times conversion rate = early quarter forecast for SDRs.

There's a top-down financial plan and a bottoms-up forecast. Use that to calibrate the SDR team on exactly what they need to attack to hit their number but ensure we don't put pressure on the AE team when they walk into quarters with low coverage.

Everyone has to forecast at top of funnel. Marketing, SDR, even the account directors should have top of funnel quotas to meet. All of those roll up into one big bottoms-up forecast that tell you if you're gonna hit your number in three months.

How you leave the batter's box matters. Make SDR forecasting easier by getting half of your meetings on the books already. After the third objection, have your SDRs tell the prospect that they’ll reach out again in 30 days and have them send a five minute hold as a reminder. They will enter the next month.

      <title>#277 - Implementing a Concession Approval Matrix &amp; Framework (Ross Shanken, Multiplier)</title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS

Effective Monday Team Meetings. Add an element of fun to your Monday meetings. Follow the framework: Connect, Learn, Communicate, and Prioritize.

Tuning Your Discount Matrix. Look at your current avg. discount, then make the matrix a bit better. Get a little incremental revenue out of improving discounting.

The multi-Year Deal Grid. Show where a customer’s cost might change as they grow / shrink. But don’t pre-agree to growth.

Speedy Meetings Are Better Meetings. Consider starting all of your meetings at the :05 mark to avoid perpetual call delays and unfocused discussions.

      <itunes:summary>FOUR ACTIONABLE LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS

Effective Monday Team Meetings. Add an element of fun to your Monday meetings. Follow the framework: Connect, Learn, Communicate, and Prioritize.

Tuning Your Discount Matrix. Look at your current avg. discount, then make the matrix a bit better. Get a little incremental revenue out of improving discounting.

The multi-Year Deal Grid. Show where a customer’s cost might change as they grow / shrink. But don’t pre-agree to growth.

Speedy Meetings Are Better Meetings. Consider starting all of your meetings at the :05 mark to avoid perpetual call delays and unfocused discussions.

      <title>#276 - How To Brief Your Exec Before A Sales Call (Caitlin Zylstra, Deel)</title>
      <description>Caitlin’s Checklist to Brief Your Execs Before Calls: www.30mpc.com/newsletter/checklist-to-brief-your-execs-before-sales-calls
FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Explain things in your customer’s language. Adapt data and demos to how the customer works and thinks.

Involve your champion in every customer touchpoint because they will help share context and help be your co-quarterback for the deal.

Ask your buyer to correct you. When you get to the point of the sale where you’re walking through next steps for evaluation, be ok with being corrected.

Go beyond the basics when an internal call partner joins your meeting. Ask questions specific to them - their business challenges, or what does success look like for them.

      <title>#274 - Tactics for Tackling Team Promotions and Behavior Changes (Jonah Mandel, Guesty)</title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS

Increase the surface area of your luck. Sometimes, getting promoted takes luck. So help out as much as possible in all the places you can.

Don’t let a slow burn hurt others. If a rep isn’t ready to be promoted, provide feedback early. Don’t create an environment where a toxic attitude spreads.

Test drive managers before promoting. Insert the best candidate in actual situations. Communicate your decision with the team so everyone is on the same page.

Make prospecting initiatives universal. If you’re driving your team to outbound — update your hiring profile, team meetings, and dashboards. Make it crystal clear

      <title>#273 - Blueprint to Establish Business-Level Impact in a POC (Amelia Burke, Databricks)</title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

When you’re doing a POC, you should be surveying the users and participants in that POC about their experience.

If you’re working in a fairly technical sale, don’t shy away from answering technical questions with your depth of understanding, but let the customer know that is your depth of understanding.

Use a pre-POC questionnaire to ensure that the champion is the right person to lead the POC.

Do a POC kickoff call to set yourself up for success.

      <title>#272 - Hall of Fame: Doug Landis</title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Don’t just set an agenda. Use PPO (purpose, plan, outcome) to set clear expectations for you and your prospect.

Avoid deep-diving into features until you've established “why change?” and “why now?”.

Show up to your discovery with a theory about their pains and your solutions. Don’t just start peppering questions.

Soften the CTA with “would you be open to” instead of heavier asks before the customer is ready to dive deep.

      <title>#271 - How to Break Down Rep Discovery Into Digestible Pieces (Chase Macaione, Zip)</title>
      <description>Chase Macaione's Discovery Call Prep Sheet &amp; Guide
FOUR ACTIONABLE LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS

How engaged someone is on LinkedIn is a proxy of how good of a champion they'll be for you as a buyer.

What you do in a call differs from what you want to get out of a call. The agenda is what you want to do, but make sure to explicitly say what you want to have coming out of the call.

Have reps come in with a hypothesis or a POV based on what they see about the company. If the company is shrinking, the way you do discovery will be different from if it is growing.

List out discovery questions to get people from high-level pain to deeper pain.

      <title>#270 - Sales Playbook: Armand and Nick Teach You How to Handle ANY Cold Call Objection</title>
      <description>Every 10th episode, we tear down one topic. This time, we’re talking about objections. 
ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Most objections are actually reactions. So if you know how to handle the reaction, you’ll swat away any objection.

The intro to the Mr. Miyagi method - agree with the objection to remove the pressure, incentivize conversation to get them to share more about the objection, and sell the test drive.

For dismissive objections be disarmingly blunt; for “not interested” objections, handle the reaction, not the objection; for situational objections, like “no budget”, or “too expensive”, remove the pressure of the sale entirely.

Existing solution objections like “we already use X (your competitor)” are essentially “not interested” objections in disguise. Tackle them as such.

* Condense the problem you solve into a single sentence - stop overcomplicating things.
* Lean on their desired future state instead of talking about the past.
* Get to the question/reason behind those unexpected/general questions.

      <title>#268 - How to Build an Early Stage Sales Team Beyond the First Five Reps (Miles Kane, Tenderly)</title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS

When you are trying to clone that first rep, make sure that you don’t confuse personality with skill set.

Your customers have the answers. Talk to your customers.

Do not do the things that you're horrible at. Hire for the things that are not your strengths.

Invest your time in enablement. You and your reps should track how you win each deal for ongoing development.

      <title>#267 - Handling Unreasonable Prospect Asks With Undeniable Truths (Charles Muhlbauer, DiscoveryCoach.io)</title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

If you say yes to doing something for a prospect and then realize you shouldn’t have offered that, call them to apologize.

If you are giving reasons to a prospect for why something they asked for is not the best idea, make those reasons about them and in their best interest.

Don't chase tennis balls. Create equal footing by getting something before we just jump to giving.

Be a guide, not a servant. Buyers are not looking for us to say yes to everything. Evaluate every ask through “is this actually the best way for the buyer to get what they're looking for?”

      <title>#264 - Why You Should Practice Breathwork Before Starting Team Meetings (Alex Kremer, Alluviance)</title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS

Have two one-on-ones in a week. One that talks deals and one focused on your rep as a person. Investing in a person always pays off with better deals.

Practice breathwork at the beginning of your team meetings. It will help your team feel relaxed and engaged.

Have one rep teach one mini skill builder for 5-10 minutes at the end of your team meetings.

If one of those mini skill builders hits well, have a longer session around it. Use the mini skill builders training to test for things your team wants to be trained on. That’s how you build a powerful training program.

      <title>#263 - Why You Should Never Mention AI in Your Sales Calls (Nick Casale, Handoffs)</title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Do not neglect internal research when you're preparing for a sales call. Find out if your company has spoken to them before and dig internally.

Prep for your sales calls by understanding lookalike conversations your team has had in the past.

Use the lighthouse email to engage someone at the top, mid-deal cycle. Don’t just pull them into the boat. Let them know that the boat is there and you have an awesome champion so they can affirm you’re in the right place.

Don’t say “AI” in your sales call. Instead, focus on the problem they want to solve and what they want to do.

      <description>Four Actionable Takeaways: 

Figure out the cost of inaction when a prospect says “this isn’t a priority right now”.

Sell from the buyer’s perspective w/ Poke the Bear to gain interest before you talk about your product.

Mirror the “not interested” to figure out the real objection (relevance, comiss. breath, bad time).

A/B test cold call opens (Poke the Bear/New Content) to figure out what works best for you.

      <title>#260 - Communication Hacks to Unleash Your Sales Team’s Full Potential (Jake Dunlap, Skaled Consulting)</title>
      <description>Check out Jake’s new book The Innovative Seller: Keeping Peace in an AI and Consumer-Centric World and order your copy today!
FOUR ACTIONABLE LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS

Allocate your time into now, near future, and far future to identify true priorities. Use two-week blocks to understand where those priorities fall at any given time.

When managing promotion expectations of reps, communication and clarity from you as a leader is the only way you can help them move up their place in line.

Hitting numbers is table stakes, so be clear on what the above-and-beyond things are that get your reps to the front of the list.

Figure out the problem that nibbles 20% percent of your day every single day and solve the entire thing before that consumes the entire 100% of your day.

      <title>#259 - How to Roll with ANY Objection in a Cold Call (Sara Plowman, Pareto)</title>
      <description>Register for the Tactic Teardown on how to beat any objection in a cold call.
FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Use “That’s exactly why I called.” When your prospect shares a problem or a priority that they have, make that your reason for booking a meeting and go right in for the close on the cold call.

Call nine before nine, and five after five. Those early morning and evening dials can be some of the best ways to increase your connect rate with hard-to-reach prospects.

After your opener, go through the parts of your pitch, but end with an open-ended question.

You can either go into “That’s why we should meet” if they give you those three priorities or roll with the objection - “Let me tell you how we work alongside and supplement a recruiter.”

      <description>Four Actionable Takeaways: 
* Use an UFC at the beginning of your meeting to anchor customers to next steps at the end.
* Use an UFC at the end of your meeting to anchor to outcomes of the following meeting.
* Demonstrate active listening and credibility by pausing to dig in deeper when uncovering a truth.
* When surprised by a hard stop...establish an even shorter stop to figure out if the time is even needed.

      <title>#257 - Club Playbook: How Gong's Top Rep Makes A Cold Call (ft. Jc Pollard)</title>
      <description>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.

      <title>#256 - How To Prep Reps Pre-Call And When To Jump In Yourself (Pleasant Middelhof, Convertr)</title>
      <description>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.

      <title>#255 - NOT Personalizing Your Emails to Get More Deals (Julia Carter, Marpipe)</title>
      <description>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.

Ask your VP / CRO if they’re the type who wants to go really deep

      <title>#253 - How to Carve Your Team's Territories to Incentivise the Right Behavior (Anthony Cessario, Tropic)</title>
      <description>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.

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Do not enter a pilot or a POC without setting clear success criteria with your customer.

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.

      <title>#251 - Hall of Fame: Belal Batrawy</title>
      <description>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)

      <title>#250 - Lead Playbook: Armand and Mark Teach You How to Train Your Team</title>
      <description>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.

      <title>#249 - Best Pre-Call Prep Tactics That Will Help You Nail Your Opening Sales Call (Taylor Lemke @ Zapier)</title>
      <description>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.

      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

The humbling disclaimer: “I feel a bit crazy asking this question, but…”

Use the scale - “is this a 1 meaning it’s the worst thing you’ve ever seen, or a 10?”

Take the headtrash out on your calls and be overly transparent in your discovery

Clarify, isolate, address the problems in a negotiation

      <title>#247 - How to Rip Through 10 Calls in a 30 Minute Sales Coaching Session (Sean Gentry @ Webflow)</title>
      <description>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. Your most coachable reps will nail the 2nd try in the interview.

      <title>#246 - Q&amp;A: JBay and Armand Teach you to Write a Cold Outbound Sequence </title>
      <description>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.

      <title>#245 - Building a Framework to Involve Your Entire Company in Winning Deals (Jessica Klek @ User Interviews)</title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS

Attach specific questions and MEDDPICC fields to each stage so all managers can catch the same exact deal blindspots

Get product involved in your big deals. Put together win strategy docs for key deals and tag them in the risks where you need their help.

When you’re teaching discovery, the beginners can start close-ended, but the veteran ENT reps need to be able to win open-ended.

If you go upmarket, the entire company needs to go upmarket with you

Attach specific questions and MEDDPICC fields to each stage so all managers can catch the same exact deal blindspots

Get product involved in your big deals. Put together win strategy docs for key deals and tag them in the risks where you need their help.

When you’re teaching discovery, the beginners can start close-ended, but the veteran ENT reps need to be able to win open-ended.

      <title>#244 - How to Tear Up Your Territory to Kickoff 2024 (Luke Floyd @ Deel)</title>
      <description>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. Win the first feature first before showing them one more thing.

      <title>#243 - The Ultimate Guide to Interview and Train High-Performing SDRs (Kyle Coleman @ Copy.ai)</title>
      <description>Kyle Coleman's Metrics to Quota Calculator
FOUR ACTIONABLE LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS

Kyle runs 3 live interviews with pair interviewers — having two people from your team will give you a better read

Run 90 day SDR onboarding where the first 30 days are focused on the core parts of prospecting and the next 60 are focused on full business acumen (e.g. running a 5m in demo)

The 6 certifications at the end of the 30 days are LinkedIn, Email, Cold Calls, Video Prospecting, Organizing Your Week, and Activity Mix.

Use Kyle’s activity calculator (in the show notes) to back out how many activities your SDRs should be doing to get to quota

      <title>#242 - Ditch Open-Ended Discovery for POV Discovery (Tom Williams @ Clari)</title>
      <description>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.

      <title>#240 - How to Run Team Deal Reviews to Find the Blindspots (D’Arcy Doyle @ Productboard)</title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS

Run weekly team deal reviews where the entire team finds the blindspots in a deal.

Make those deal reviews positive and fun — it’s us versus the deal, not us vs the rep.

Use the benign reachout early in your sales cycle by having your CEO send a note to their CEO offering their early support in the evaluation.

Get beyond just doing demos. If you talk about features you’ll be relegated to the folks who want to talk about that (a CFO doesn’t care).

      <title>#237 - How to Make your Team Prospect with Operating Rhythms and Calendar Invites (Shay Keeler @ CaptivateIQ)</title>
      <description>Shay's Tactic Toolkit: How You Work Questions

FOUR ACTIONABLE LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS

Write down every priority you could work on, then narrow it down to the top 3 and be okay letting things burn.

Don’t stop drilling in on those priorities until your team starts to complete your sentences and tattle on themselves.

If you wanna get your teams prospecting, set daily expectations, put them in calendar invites in an operating rhythm, then get wildly tactical on how to do it.

Use the “How You Work” questions to get to know the human behind the seller and push them to the next level.

      <title>#236 - Land Your Dream Sales Job With These Killer Interview Tactics (Adam Ochart @ Gong)</title>
      <description>ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Hit adversity head-on. If you got hit with the RIF — tell them you probably could have survived, and here’s how.

Never be surprised — get the cheat code questions to the interview from your recruiter and interviewer.

Be concise. Start with the 4-step process, then ask them how deeply you want them to unpack each.

Golden hour follow-ups. Within 60 minutes, hit the recruiter and interviewer — and stand out by sharing what you could’ve done better in the interview or maybe even your favorite cold emails.

      <title>#235 - How to Bulletproof your Team's Pipeline with the So-What Train and Win Strategy Docs with Rebecca Feiten @6sense</title>
      <description>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?

      <title>#234 - Sales Playbook: Nick and Armand Teach You How To Forecast</title>
      <description>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.

Don't be a sandbag - don’t set a goal or forecast that's way too high.

      <itunes:summary>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.

Don't be a sandbag - don’t set a goal or forecast that's way too high.

      <title>#233 - Steal Kyle Asay’s Sales Competency Framework to Produce World-Class Sellers</title>
      <description>Kyle’s Competency Framework
FOUR ACTIONABLE LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS

Pick 1-3 competencies to coach a rep on max. 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.

If you have a rep who isn’t willing to work hard at the professional development plan that both you AND they agreed to… why would you keep working with that rep?

      <description>But wait! Want more from Grace &amp; Outreach? Check out the 30MPC X Outreach: 1 Sequence to Create and 5 Templates to Close

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Brainstorm how you're going to advance each of your opportunities before you have your pipeline review with your manager. Don't show up like a deer in headlights.

Block time for immediately after your pipeline reviews to take action on the things you agreed to do to drive your deals forward.

Structure your forecast calls - cover updates, health scores, next steps, amount, and close dates. Avoid spending the entire time on one deal by scheduling big bets calls for complex deal reviews.

Utilize a zero inbox strategy by organizing your inbox into action items, read through later, awaiting a reply.

      <title>#231 - Incentivizing Your Team to Dominate Q4 (Doug Landis @ Emergence Capital)</title>
      <description>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. No one wants a horrible CAC payback, a burning sales team, or a team that can’t keep their top reps.

      <title>#230 - Jen Puts Nick in the Hot Seat to Learn His Secrets to the Perfect Sales Call (Nick Cegelski @ 30 Minutes to President’s Club)</title>
      <description>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"

      <title>#229 - Build a Better Sales Call with this Foolproof Framework (Jen Allen-Knuth @ DemandJen)</title>
      <description>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 &amp; 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.

      <title>#228 - Lessons From A Renowned CRO: Evolving Your Sales Team Through Process And Accountability (Stevie Case @ Vanta)</title>
      <description>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.

      <itunes:summary>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.

      <title>#227 - Utilize Discounts and Timelines to Never Let a Deal Slip (Harry Lort-Phillips @ Pave) </title>
      <description>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.

      <title>#226 - Club Playbook: Three Steps to Cold Calling Success (ft. Jason Bay of Outbound Squad)</title>
      <description>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. Be assumptive and roll right into scheduling.

      <title>#225 - The Formula For Coaching Your Reps To President's Club (Patricia DuChene @ Postal)</title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS

Start &amp; End of Week 15min stand-ups: Start each week by listing out by individual what you are going to accomplish this week, it should be measurable.

Breakdown calls into the sum of their parts: intro x discovery x demo x closing, but then coach to the THEMES across the parts.

Situation-Behavior-Impact Feedback: Describe the situation (put them back on the scene), remind them of their behavior/what they did, explain the impact of it.

Send the 3x3x3 to your CEO every day on Friday: 3 Up for the Week. 3 Down for the Week. 3 for Next Week.

      <title>#224 - Mastering the Bookends: How Your Open Dictates Your Close (Joe Diliberto @ Sandler Training)</title>
      <description>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).

      <description>https://tactics.30mpc.com/leadership-playbook-sales-stages-deal-review-guide

FOUR ACTIONABLE LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS

Decide on a meeting or stage-based sales process first. Align the key steps to win a deal to your Salesforce stages.

Run rapid-fire deal reviews, recapping how each stage has been accomplished and what you plan to do to move the deal to the next step.

Each week, look at the next step your rep agreed to take last week. And if it didn’t happen, talk about how to make it happen or get it out of pipeline.

When your reps get really good at this, start teaching them the trick shots. Deal acceleration and combining two steps into one call!

      <title>#220 - How Jeb Blount Smashes In-Person Meetings (Jeb Blount @ Sales Gravy)</title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS

When getting in person, try to dress the same "level" as your customer's office attire. When in doubt, dress one notch nicer.

Use the right communication tool for the job. Synchronous conversation wins.

Use this decision criteria for when to meet your customer in-person: size of deal, proximity to your location, and stage in the sales process (discovery phase is ideal).

Before the meeting, ask yourself, “What is the micro-commitment I want from the prospect at the end of this meeting?”

      <title>#219 - Close Your First $1M ARR With Your Laptop CLOSED (Joe Caprio, Partner @ Glasswing Ventures)</title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS

The best product doesn’t always win — the team that has the most conversations with customers, investors, and partners does.

Every week — test an industry, persona, and problem in your early-stage outbound. Over 12 weeks, you need to rip through 12 market segments to find your ICP.

Play laptop closed! See how long you can go without opening your demo to sell a deal.

Don’t worry about the two, three, or four-year deals. Win customers in year one, and if your product is right, you’ll keep them in year two and beyond.

      <title>#217 - Your Path to President's Club Starts With "No" (Taylor Corr, Head of SMB &amp; Mid Market Sales @ Quantcast)</title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Use the last 20 minutes of your workday to plan for the day ahead. Map out your calls, emails, and time blocks.

Default to saying no. Don't let random requests distract you from generating revenue.

Match your activity to your energy level. If you're high energy in the afternoons, use that time to cold call!

Avoid interruptions by blocking your time in one-hour increments. The non-urgent requests can wait until the top of the hour.

      <title>#214 - Using Deal Friction to Drive Opportunities Over the Line (Alex Kremer, Founder @ Alluviance)</title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Leverage the power of 7-38-55: 7 percent of meaning is communicated through words, 38 percent through tone, and 55 percent through body language.

Encourage friction in your sales cycle; it means that your customer is engaged.

When showing a demo, tell your customers what you're gonna show, show 'em, then tell them what you showed.

The "Barack Obama Objection Response" - When you get hit with an objection, acknowledge factors impacting their perspective and ask if they would be open to hearing a different perspective.

Leverage the power of 7-38-55: 7 percent of meaning is communicated through words, 38 percent through tone, and 55 percent through body language.

Encourage friction in your sales cycle; it means that your customer is engaged.

When showing a demo, tell your customers what you're gonna show, show 'em, then tell them what you showed.

The "Barack Obama Objection Response" - When you get hit with an objection, acknowledge factors impacting their perspective and ask if they would be open to hearing a different perspective.

      <title>#209 - Identifying decision-makers early (Brandon Sedloff, SVP of Sales @ Juniper Square)</title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Use the NDA to test for signing authority early in the process.

Send an executive update early in the process so that you have a thread to call on when things don't go so well.

Map out the process in a way that makes sense to them. Not to you. AKA not a buyer's journey.

The person who's involved in the RFP is usually the person who wins the RFP.

      <title>#207 - Crushing your cold call objections (Will Padilla, Sr. Account Executive @ GRIN)</title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Call me in 6 months: Find the most relevant timing-based trigger for ANY time in the year to drive the evaluation.

Not interested: Is it because you’re not interested in influencer software or is it something I said?

Who is this: Run right back into the permission-based opener again.

I hate cold calls: Try to set up a non-cold call and get out of their way.

      <title>#204 - Using hypothesis-driven discovery to uncover winning zones (Danilo Capric, Sr. Account Executive @ Databricks)</title>
      <description>Download Danilo's Hypothesis-Driven Disco Call Framework

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

5 ways to research a prospect: [1] LinkedIn [2] Google search [3] podcast appearances on Listennotes.com [4] social channels [5] If they're a Ph.D., Google their name + “dissertation”

Use that research in the first 2 minutes of the call.

Start with their big business goals, then raise the problems and outcomes that YOU can solve to narrow them into your winning zone.

Bucket your buyers with a market approach technique. You’re either a lean team putting together best-in-breed point solutions to cover your gaps or a mature team that wants an all-in-one solution. Which are you?

      <title>#202 - Crafting success with creative deals  (Mark Kosoglow, Chief Revenue Office @ Catalyst Software)</title>
      <description>FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

B2C Mall Sales Hustle: Show them what their world looks like with your product RIGHT NOW.

When they prompt a creative deal term, say yes first, but then ask: “Does that mean you’ll buy now?” If not, keep digging.

Good creative deals lose in the short term but win in the long term. You might take the buyout hit today, but that’s ok if you keep the customer for 3 years.

When a customer asks for new product guarantees in a contract, ask: “Is what you want to be built really preventing you from achieving the result that you want?”

      <title>#199 - Playbook: Crushing your competitors </title>
      <description>Every 10th episode, we tear down one topic. This time, we’re talking about crushing your competitors.

Actionable Takeaways

50% of deals are going to be won by just being a better seller, the other half by properly selling inside the winning zone.

Start by figuring out what’s important to them, then recommend a few priorities specifically in your winning zone while seeding competitor losing zones.

Against apples-to-apples competitors, tilt the odds in your favor with on-sites, power, and references.

Throw competitive darts as you make cold calls or send cold emails so that you begin pushing to your winning zones.

      <title>#198 - Club Playbook: Do the opposite (ft. Nick Cegelski)</title>
      <description>ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Every 2-3 days reach out to prospects via phone, email, LinkedIn. Get on their radar and get a response. 

Abide by the law of diminishing returns. If a prospect isn't responding, give up and reallocate that effort to prospects that are legitimate.

At the end of the meeting, before getting to the next step, pulse-check the customer using the 5-minute drill. 

It’s okay to sometimes lose a negotiation in favor of getting the deal done.

Whenever possible, you should opt for a live conversation with your prospects.

Abandon the belief that activity equals achievement. Instead, recognize that your job exists to accomplish outcomes.

      <title>#197 - Making meaningful intros to move competitive deals (Shay Keeler, Sr. Director of Global Commercial NL Sales @ Outreach)</title>
      <description>=====================
Join us for a "Live from Unleash" episode of 30MPC on October 3-5 @ Seattle Convention Center ($300 discount)

Come to experience AI-Powered selling with Outreach and learn actionable sales strategies from leaders and top performers from Cisco, Verizon, Grammarly, and more.
=====================

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Monday morning opportunity hit list: create a list of opportunities that don’t have next steps or told you to call back around this time.

If someone’s shopping competitors, plant landmines for them to ask for specific pitfalls during the competitive demo.

When you’re waiting for them to finish the competitive evaluation, make a goodwill introduction to a resource that will help them.

Review your pipeline by asking: What’s the persona? Do I understand the decision? What’s my next step? If there isn’t one, what am I doing to get one?

Forward the deal narrative to the CEO and have them reach out to the contact you’re trying to multithread into.

      <title>#192 - Conquering the chaos at the end of your deals (Todd Caponi, Founder, Speaker, &amp; Workshop Leader @ Sales Melon)</title>
      <description>Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

There are four levers in a negotiation: Volume, timing of cash, length of commitment, and timing of the deal.

When describing the levers, explain upfront: There’s tremendous value in us being able to predict and we’re willing to pay for that in the form of a discount.

Hold firm by telling everyone in the world what the 4 levers are EARLY in your sales cycle.

When power comes in for a final pound of flesh, paint the trade-offs and lean on the fact that you’ve shared this early so that your champion can evangelize it.

      <title>#190 - Riding rising stars on the way to enterprise deals (Chris Surdi, Strategic Account Manager @ Ascend)</title>
      <description>Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Figure out your champion’s motives. This might look like supporting their business motives / aligning with their bonus/financial motives / or making them feel like they’re going to ink their next promotion.

The Sandwich Sale: Combine the groundswell at the bottom of the organization with executive momentum at the top to squeeze the middle managers into action.

Ask the executive: “Who’s your rising star?” They will often be the ones to drive your deal with the most velocity.

Land a single deal for $50-100k, then build an internal business case to expand on the account.

      <title>#186 - Amplifying authenticity to soft close across the sales cycle (JC Pollard, Mid-Market Account Executive @ Gong)</title>
      <description>Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0
But wait, there's even more Gong x 30MPC at our Master Class Series :)

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Use the 3x3 after your opener: “I noticed this, this, and this about you…how familiar are you with what we do?”

Be outrageously authentic. Example: “I would’ve been fired if I only closed deals with allocated budget.”

Set the expectation for three call outcomes upfront. At the end, tell them you think we’re at a 1 (which means buying this now), and ask them to validate that.

Use a soft close to skip a pilot. You’re either ready to move now, which gives us commercial flexibility, or need us to invest more time and resources to prove the use case.

      <title>#183 - Leveraging enterprise executives to expand your deals (Brandon Wagoner, Founding Team-GTM Lead @ Superblocks)</title>
      <description>Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Start your executive meetings with the top 2-3 priorities, then be quiet and let them explain why they took your call.

At the end of the executive meeting, ask them to sponsor you and make intros to each department lead.

Test pricing throughout the sales cycle with each department lead so that when the big proposal lands, it can be justified.

Not sure if the deal is a waste of time? Ask: is this above or below the line if your budget gets cut?

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Use problem ?’s ending in “so that _____ doesn’t happen.” Then give multiple choice.

Use a slight downtone when hearing the response to get prospects to lean in

Use bucket questions to get your prospect to agree to 1 of 2 problems they’re having

      <description>Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Offer them value instead of meetings.

Frame your asks in terms of what they will get out of the meeting. If someone is on a competitor, offer insights on where that competitor may fall short.

Politely illuminate things that might be a bit “off” in their business.

Provide an off-ramp for the prospect by making them explain why they are willing to invest in the next step. “Where does this rank in your priorities? You have to do X, you have to do Y.”

      <description>Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Start with the lay of the land questions &gt; heaven and hell questions &gt; typically questions.

If they don’t know the metric they’re trying to improve, it’s your job to educate THEM on the metric you can solve for.

Tell. Show. Tell. Tell them what you’re going to show them &gt; show it to them &gt; then tell them what you just showed them and how it relates to what you learned about them in discovery.

How to talk about implementation as a sales rep: Talk at the level of [1] the people involved [2] the stages of implementation [3] the timing of implementation.

      <title>#179 - Mastering momentum and winning 1:1's as an SDR (Zach Landres-Schnur, Head of Sales Development @ LiveRamp)</title>
      <description>Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

When prioritizing accounts, try to find the low-hanging internal research (CL Opps, Past Conversations), then move to external research (10-K, New Contact)

In weekly 1:1s, do a look back on the past accounts you worked, and a look forward on the new ones. Have specific columns for the SDRs to fill in findings from their outreach.

Look for triggers when you’re refreshing an account to change up messaging (New Person, Customer Move, 10-K, New Messaging)

Work in 2-hour blocks (2hrs Nike, 2hrs for Adidas). Then use 1:1s to break up the day and refuel.

      <title>#177 - Mastering every moment at your next conference (+ never lose at musical chairs) (Christine Nolan, Global VP of Sales @ Starburst)</title>
      <description>Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Don’t drink and eat yourself to death at a conference. Keep your eye on the ball - meeting prospects.

When you pre-set meetings before the conference, talk to the prospect’s team in advance. Focus the conversation on what you learned + what they’re hoping to get out of this.

Add pictures of the people you want to meet in a Google doc. At the conference, create organic moments where you find those people.

Play musical chairs at the conference - If one happy hour, session, or conversation isn’t a good use of your time, LEAVE.

Prospecting

Episode 118 Ryan Reisert: Use the right prospecting channel for the job. If they don’t open emails, stop emailing!

Discovery

Episode 110 Doug Landis: PPO

Episode 137 Krysten Conner: The Menu of Pain

Episode 123 Chris Orlob: When someone talks about initiative/change in state, ask what is driving it.

Episode 113 Armand Farrokh: The 5-minute drill + big demo deck



Process

Episode 130 Morgan Melo: How are you gonna justify this internally?

Episode 150 Adam Wainwright: Yes momentum. Agree on a problem. Tie solution to value. SE momentum.

Episode 103 Miles Kane: What are you willing to offer in return?

Episode 146 Henry Schuck: Don’t let the need for rapport block your advancement of the sale.


The NUMBER ONE TACTIC!
Episodes 134 &amp; 135 Kevin “KD” Dorsey: Turn a “want” into a problem.

      <title>#175 - Navigating the nuances of a hero's journey (Adam Wainwright, Sr. Director of Sales @ Clari )</title>
      <description>Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

At the end of a discovery call, lay out a play-by-play recap and look for the nod.

The 5-chapter Recap Email: [1] What we learned, [2] How we can help (the 1-2 things they loved the most) [3] Suggest times [4] Gather inputs that can build a business case [5] lay out the sequence of events.

The Technical Validation Call: Explain the 4 things we need upfront. SE sends a technical follow-up with the green light (low level of effort to deploy).

The Hero’s Journey: The biggest problems, the ROI narrative, the number, and finally trade levers.

      <description>Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0
Download Sonny's ChatGPT Cheat Sheet

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Three common ChatGPT use cases: pull out insights, write emails based on that research, handle objections when they come in.

Feed ChatGPT with relevant data like a 10-K to write a great tailored email for you.

From there, you can plug your website or writing rules to craft an email for you.

Don’t like that email? Ask for a revision or have it use Hemingway to rewrite this email at a 5th grade level.

Section 1 - Openers (Waiting): Use one of two cold call openers — the PLA (pleasant, laugh, arms-up) or the confident pause


Section 2 - Value Props (Bite): Reverse engineer soundbites from your customers and have 2-3 foundational pillars of problems you solve to build your talk track.

      <description>Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0
FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Preschedule the final executive meeting upfront if you get access to the executive buyer at the beginning of the sales cycle.

Map out the 10 things you’ll need to do now, to prepare for the big executive meeting.

Send 1:1 messages to each department lead before the call to find out what is important to them.

Have your economic buyer pre-sell each executive before going into the big team meeting so that you can position it as the introduction to the implementation phase.

      <description>Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

When you are asked for a discount ask in return, “Why a discount at all” and then create a cost to each item they’re asking for.

When asking for contract turnaround time, don’t just stop at legal approval. Break it down from prioritization to stakeholders.

Take the time to get approval. Don’t make it seem like it’s too easy.

When returning a proposal, walk through the additional savings being approved, and have the “Valid by” date in bold red.

Don’t let the fear of breaking rapport prevent you from asking for the next step.

Answer the yes-or-no questions and SHUT UP!

Figure out their vision through discovery, then tell the story of their business in terms of how other world class teams use you to achieve it.

Turn the CEO's team into your champions to get the inside scoop on everything about them beforehand.

      <title>#167 - Progress your sales with healthy customer tension (Jen Allen-Knuth, Community Growth @ Lavender)</title>
      <description>Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Start by aligning on the problem in the big team meeting and sell your champion on why it’s important.

At the beginning of the big team meeting present in this order, the problem &gt; the cost of inaction &gt; alternatives which include you.

In the big team meeting, call out those people who are not voicing their perspectives and create a safe space to air out problems.

Even if there is consensus, push for one more person to get involved in the deal cycle before making a solution recommendation.

      <description>Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0

ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS


Section 1 - Agenda: Have a plan &amp; share it. Call out surprises before they, ya know, surprise you.


Section 2 - Set the Table: Teach your customer something they don’t know, and you’ll gain credibility in their eyes.


Section 3 - Dig In: Don’t just ask qualification questions. Understand their challenges today and the impact those are having on their business. Ask questions about areas the prospect might not have considered, but you know you can add extra value too.


Section 4 - Dessert: Tell them what’s good and recommend they give it a try: i.e. tell them what the next step is and secure it at the end of the call.

      <title>#165 - Part 2: Weaving showmanship into your sales process (Vin Matano, Sr. Account Executive IC-5 @ Demandbase)</title>
      <description>Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0
Download Vin's 5 Emails from Prospecting to Close

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Keep your multithreading separate to first establish direct lines of communication, and then weave them together later. 

Once you have the group threaded together, separate out the master recap email from individual recap emails. 

Put on a show! Vin used the number 282 to start a presentation, which was the number of LMS providers on G2 crowd, and the person who guessed the number correctly received a bottle of wine. 

Attach discount percentages to levers so prospects have control over how they can buy themselves a discount.

      <description>Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0
Download Vin's 5 Emails from Prospecting to Close

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Pick 5-10 accounts per week and focus all of your energy on them. That might look like sending emails Monday and Wednesday, then going multichannel on Friday.

Use email as your hub and other channels as your spokes with your CTA on the other channels pointing back to your email.

The email channel can get flooded; get creative with other channels like Twitter. Vin was able to book a meeting off of a backward jump shot.

Use email to keep threading throughout your sales cycle. One way to do this is through direct mail.

      <title>#163 - Mapping the path to close and navigating to your destination (Justin Solis, Enterprise Account Executive @ Pave)</title>
      <description>Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Start your demos by setting the scene. Orient your buyer as to who they are in the demo and what they are doing in their day.

If you get a mild “yes” at the end of the demo (e.g. “it could be interesting, I want to debrief internally”), use timeline and sales process steps to see if they’re willing to work to take a step forward.

When asking for power, make it us vs. them.

Align the timeline to close with their best interest in mind, not yours (e.g. Get them excited about more time to implement means a much better customer experience for them).

      <title>#161 - Club Playbook: Scaling email personalization (Charly Johnson)</title>
      <description>Download Charly Johnson’s Cold Email Drip Templates

ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Section 1 - Research: Have the top 5 things you look for ready to go and jot down the templates you’ll use for each.

Section 2 - Trigger Templates: Create scalable templates for each trigger - do it with your team to create a pool of common templates you can pop in.

Section 3 - Deposits: Apply the same concepts above to create ‘deposit’ templates that don’t always take value, they give it back.

      <title>#160 - Optimizing your time-consuming sequences (Sam Nelson, Founder @ SDRLeader.com)</title>
      <description>Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0

Download Sam's Agoge Sequence

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Analyze a low performer's time allocation to identify areas for improvement. Filter time-consuming sequences in your SEP and review the people included.

Categorize your sequences to prioritize opportunities effectively. Segment people into immediate opportunities, helpful but not immediate, and irrelevant.

Standardize your value proposition based on persona to streamline your process. Use templates and snippets for personalization triggers while keeping the core sequence consistent.

Keeping a healthy population of overdue tasks is good for prospecting momentum. Avoid letting tasks get more than 2-3 days overdue, but embrace the benefits of always having something to do.

      <title>#159 - Building trust when selling at early-stage companies (Miles Kane, VP, Sales @ Tenderly)</title>
      <description>Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Grow your existing pipeline 50% by asking for referrals.

Use these 3 common PLG (product-led growth) triggers to engage freemium users: sign-ups, increased usages, and multiple users on one account.

Don’t immediately sell your roadmap. Instead, find customers who are 80% aligned with the vision and use the roadmap to bridge the 20%.

If you’re selling early-stage, focus on the early adopters / innovative buyers.

      <description>Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0

UserGems’ Job Change Sequence

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Start with a menu of pain: the 3 biggest problems that any given persona can face.

Once you align on the problem, ask, “What’s prompting that need?”.

You can start talking about solutions once you have an executive-level problem (e.g. down round, churn problem).

Use individual contributors, like AEs, for inside intel on the organization. Then use their quotes on 1-2 slides when meeting with VP or CXO.

      <description>Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0

Download Anthony's 3-Step Email Framework

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

On a cold call: Get permission, lead with a problem statement and its negative consequences, then ask how they’re addressing it today. Once you have validation, book the meeting.

On a normal discovery call: Ask why they took the call, why change at all, and lastly why change now.

On a competitive discovery call: Start with why they bought their original solution and move to how their experience / goals have changed since then.

Figure out where you stack on their priority list by asking: “When you’re on an all-hands, is this something people are talking about?”.

Download KD's "Did I" Checklist Manifesto

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

After the demo, get a sense of what they liked and use it to justify your ask to power.

Avoid getting stuck below the line with “yes-and” - loop in the suggestion but also confirm the email you want instead of asking for permission.

When you get to power, recap the key problems you found first, then open it up and ask what’s important to them.

Start with the worst-case scenario of the results you can drive and get agreement on that being a good outcome first, then over-deliver.

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

PPI (Problem, Pain, Impact): Get agreement on a problem, understand the pain the problem causes, and identify what that means for the buyer and the business.

Use bucket questions to get problem agreement. Weave the top 3 problems into your opening questions. 

When someone tells you what they want, restate it as a pain point. Turn solutions into problems. 

The transition between discovery and demo is the perfect time for “might make sense”.

If you don’t dig into their self-diagnosis, you lose credibility. When you hear their diagnosis, ask why they came to that conclusion and then begin to unpack it.

Unpack the diagnosis by starting with the questions that will most likely get you to the answer quickly.

Once you know the key metrics that drive their business (e.g., open rates, reply rates), you can deposit and add value by sharing industry benchmarks of what those could be.

Prospect by identifying the top 2-3 problems that most people don’t know that they have, then try to find out where the prospect realistically lands currently.

      <description>Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0

Wingman’s In-App Objection Handling Battlecards

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Use typically language to help guide your buyer into the next steps.

When the buyer wants to multithread to someone you’re not familiar with, ask how that person has contributed to purchases in the past.

When your champion is proposing to finance, offer to be a “fly on the wall” to help support them. If you aren’t on the call, ask questions about what the call will look like and what issues could come up in it.

Keep your buyer’s best interest in mind when driving the timeline. Don’t drive it using your quota or discount.

      <title>#150 - Plan your attack, then attack your plan (Liam Mulcahy, Go-to-Market @ Kleiner Perkins)</title>
      <description>Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0

Download Liam’s Account Planning Sheet

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Start discovery by asking why they were hired in the first place. It’ll help build rapport and understand the organizational vision.

If you suspect someone is going to be a blocker in the deal, bring it up with your champion before it even happens.

Don’t stay single-threaded in accounts. Just because you booked a meeting doesn't mean you shouldn’t keep prospecting.

If you’re introduced to power: share your hypothesis, then introduce a few things only they can answer to further expand on your discovery.

      <title>#149 - Playbook: The Negotiation Playbook</title>
      <description>Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

When giving price: explain how it works first, then give price and stop talking.

When the customer asks for a discount, act surprised and push away to encourage them to come back to the table.

Lock in access to power before negotiating. Confirm the person you’re speaking to can get the deal done on time and approved.

Don’t make unilateral concessions. Try to leverage options or create a cost to negotiation with “give for get”.

      <title>#148 - Asking questions that get your buyer talking about impact vs features (Morgan Melo, Enterprise Account Executive @ Pave)</title>
      <description>Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Use typically language and stories to gain credibility with your prospect, leading to deeper discovery.

Ask your champion how they plan on justifying a purchase to the larger org. This aligns you to business level problems and also serves as champion validation. 

Mirror multithreading in the sales cycle. Bring a VP for a CXO. Bring an SE for a technical buyer. Bring in product for someone cross-functional.

Leverage your own senior leaders to story-tell and pull in the people at power during the demo.

      <title>#147 - Using pushes to handle objections (Will Padilla, Sr. Account Executive @ GRIN)</title>
      <description>Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

When asked for pricing early, give a range but hold the other key pricing details until you get feedback.

If you’re getting ongoing buying objections, suggest that it may be too early to be talking.

Get to the true objection when someone asks to be sent more information.

Before giving any discounts, get clear commitment on timing. And make it clear that if there’s a slip, it starts back at standard pricing.

      <title>#146 - Booking more outbound meetings with slapping (Florin Tatulea, Director of Sales @ Barley)</title>
      <description>Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Segment your sequences between above and below-the-line decision-makers.

Permission Slap: Ask for permission to give valuable information. e.g. Can I send you a 90-second video so I can show how you might get a sense of what win rates look like in RFPs?

Look for keywords in the investor day transcript or in the 10-K, then attach those to the messaging you use above the line.

Prospect in bursts. Voicemails and social touches power email replies even if you don’t get a reply on that channel.

      <description>Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Prospect the right people: 80% of your prospecting time should be spent contacting folks ABOVE the power line.

Set agendas like a human being: In the first 4 minutes of any meeting, address the time, the meeting content, &amp; the potential next steps.

Understand the intent behind your prospect's questions: If you get asked a broad question from a prospect, ask a question about their question to determine what information they are actually seeking.

Keep Power in the loop: Share regular (succinct) status updates with the executive sponsor of your deal. It's your job to keep reiterating WHY their organization is looking to buy your thing.

      <title>#144 - Holding your customer accountable through your deal cycle (Marissa Bell, Director, Enterprise Sales @ Figma)</title>
      <description>Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

3 ways to know you have a champion (influence &amp; authority): always willing to hop on a call, willing to bring in their boss, and able to set meetings with cross-functional teams.

In a team demo, use Slack/text for live internal communication and strategy.

Ideally, establish your executive calls 1:1. You’ll avoid deal fatigue and better understand their true priorities. 

Use PoCs to create urgency. Start them on a trial but ask for a legitimate commitment if they want to extend their usage.

      <title>#143 - Active listening to loosen up your discovery calls and first dates (Samantha McKenna, Founder @ #samsales Consulting)</title>
      <description>Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

3-step process every time you book a meeting: Show gratitude, send an invite with your company name first, and connect with them on LinkedIn.

Use a pre-call checklist for discovery. Research everything you can about your buyer and show them you know them in the first 5 minutes of the call.

Use “typically” language when prospects are hesitant to open up. By sharing common situations, it allows them to nail down their specific problem(s).

Once you get to a problem, tell a story: “You make me think of a customer where XYZ was the problem, ABC is what we did, which led to 123 results”. This helps build trust and gets them to open up further.

      <description>Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Use the line “in order to be conscious of your time…” to lead into your post-opener statement.

Jump into your research and follow up with a light question to earn another one.

Use “client voice” to describe common challenges from your customers. Leverage those stories into open-ended questions to gauge fit.

Demonstrate your understanding of their problem and use it to present a tailored pitch of your solution (we were made to solve this exact problem).

      <title>#140 - Building impact and intensifying urgency in your discovery calls (Chris Orlob, Co-Founder &amp; CEO @ Stealth Startup)</title>
      <description>Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Ask your inbound leads what prompted them to take the call.

Start your calls with outbound leads by calling out that they might not know what you do and explaining the problems you solve. Then make the transition into discovery. 

Categorize buyers’ answers into problem language or solutions language. Buyers often answer “problem” questions with solutions, so ensure you get the problem language.

Avoid discovery fatigue with a mix of emotionally intelligent techniques. (Examples: quick customer stories, summarizing, questions)

      <title>#139 - Overcoming mistakes and missed opportunities when champion building (Ford Williams, Regional Director Majors-West &amp; Central @ ThoughtSpot)</title>
      <description>Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Don’t block yourself by prospecting and meeting with non-champions / non-economic buyers / below-the-line prospects.

Use your champion to pre-brief your economic buyer before you present to them so that you don’t have to spend time demoing.

Identify the right champion by seeing who takes the next steps, who gets listened to when they speak, and gauging the rigor of their questions.

Play the negotiation table with ALL of your asks. If you get an ask on pricing, decline it, but in return give a non-monetary ask.

      <title>#138 - Creating and accelerating your emails (Kyle Coleman, SVP, Marketing @ Clari)</title>
      <description>Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Read your emails out loud before you send them. Use contractions and shorter sentences to sound less robotic.

Speak the language of your target persona. Tie the problems of that persona to the company priorities.

Use the 3x3 recap email: List the top 3 takeaways from the meeting, followed by the top 3 next steps. 

When phrasing the top takeaways, make it SHORT and focus most of your summary on the problem.

      <title>#135 - Using social proof tactics in your cold call (Terry Husayn, VP of Sales Development @ Orum)</title>
      <description>Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Call your below-the-line org. contacts to gather intel that you can bring up when having above-the-line conversations.

Try to get a direct referral to your target persona, next best would be “permission to mention X’s name”, next best would be using the information from X’s conversation when contacting the target.

Use “[X] said we should speak” as a simple, attention-grabbing subject line for the target persona.

Document all your conversations in your CRM notes at the prospect AND account level for easy recall in future outreach.

      <title>#134 - Optimizing for connections and completions in your cold calls (Ryan Reisert, Student of Sales, Principal @ Reisert Consulting)</title>
      <description>Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Use the 80/20 principle - if someone hasn’t picked up within 5 calls, start expanding your efforts in the other channels.

Prioritize direct dials &amp; operations (their job is to transfer you). Avoid gatekeepers when possible.

Document your channel validation. For phones: direct vs operator, validated vs not validated, etc.

Focus on the tone/pace of your opener vs the words themselves. Then preface with the intent of your call to lower their guard.

      <title>#133 - Building a business case with your champion (Nate Nasralla, Founder @ Fluint)</title>
      <description>Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Include a short, one-page memo in your calendar invite so they can digest what you want to communicate. Then start your meeting 5 minutes later and dig right in.

Create your business case in Mad Lib Style. Start with a framework and fill in the gaps as you go through the call, helping to build out the storyline.

Use language in your business case that's internal to the buying team, weaving trigger words or trigger phrases that are going to signal to an executive that you're aligned with a priority they care about.

When meeting with ‘below the line' buyers, find 1-2 workflows they spend 80% of their week in. Ask them to demo how that works today. After they share their screen, share yours, give them screen control, and guide them through that task in your product.

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Include a short, one-page memo in your calendar invite so they can digest what you want to communicate. Then start your meeting 5 minutes later and dig right in.

Create your business case in Mad Lib Style. Start with a framework and fill in the gaps as you go through the call, helping to build out the storyline.

Use language in your business case that's internal to the buying team, weaving trigger words or trigger phrases that are going to signal to an executive that you're aligned with a priority they care about.

When meeting with ‘below the line' buyers, find 1-2 workflows they spend 80% of their week in. Ask them to demo how that works today. After they share their screen, share yours, give them screen control, and guide them through that task in your product.

      <title>#132 - Setting the steps of your Mutual Action Plan (MAP) (Ross Rich, CEO @ Accord)</title>
      <description>Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Identify your champion and the problem you’ll be trying to solve, THEN share the MAP with them.

Map out the key milestones in the deal and customize them for the people who need to be involved.

Don’t show every step in the MAP right away. Have the big stages listed, then deep dive into the current stage.

Anchor the MAP to their go-live date so they know you’ll be coming to those steps at a later date and they won’t feel overwhelmed early on.

      <description>Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Quantify the number of qualification questions you are going to ask to avoid discovery fatigue.

Don’t claim to be the best at everything. Sell the 20% of A - what is most important and B - what you’re best at.

Once you’ve heard their priorities, add to them so you can establish credibility as an advisor.

Summarize key points from the meeting (priorities, impact, and timeline) and ask for confirmation of email receipt.

      <description>Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Start your email with research personalization to stand out in the inbox (vs generic greeting).

Quote the prospect/company directly by researching where the company is investing its money (e.g. in job postings, funding announcements).

Use a more humanized approach when prospecting. Sharing something you both have in common in the P.S. is a great place to add a human touch.

Reach out to your prospect immediately after they engage with your content - no need to wait for the next sequence step.

      <title>#128 - Storytelling to show prospects you can solve their problem (Armand Farrokh, VP of Sales @ Pave)</title>
      <description>Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Have a prep call with your champion before the demo. Identify who is in the room, what they want to get out of the call, and how past demos have gone.

Connect what you’re selling to something that hits the P&amp;L. Get one deep business impact, and tell one story that shows people that you can solve their problem.

Get your prospect to tell you a story by using “typically” language to help prompt them with ideas that typically come up.

Ensure the problem you are solving is not an isolated incident. Ask: Is this happening frequently, or just a one-off?

      <description>Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Rank your buyer’s priorities in the first meeting so you know what to spend the majority of time on in the future.

Give pricing early and pivot based on reactions. If you end up giving concessions, always add an expiration date.

Stay engaged while your SE is demoing. It’s on you to keep the call on track.

      <title>#126 - Creating close plans for every step of the sales process (Jeremey Donovan, EVP, Sales &amp; Customer Success, Insight Partners)</title>
      <description>Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Use a customer-facing close plan to map out the key steps (power, security, legal) in your sales cycle.

Review the key steps of your plan live in EVERY call rather than just sending it once through email.

Make a coach / champion determination by asking about past purchasing experience.

Send the blank connect request on LinkedIn when mass prospecting - skip the “fake” tailoring.

      <description>Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Create an event-specific sequence for expos/tradeshows w/ the CTA being “open to stopping by the booth?”.

Use highly tailored gifting for your top-tier accounts instead of just sending out dozens of Starbucks gift cards.

Seek out referrals by finding tangential partners to trade leads with.

Don't treat LinkedIn like email: use connects, content engagement, and DM's strategically.

      <title>#124 - Leveling with your buyer and setting clear expectations using PPO (Doug Landis, Growth Partner @ Emergence Capital)</title>
      <description>Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Don’t just set an agenda. Use PPO (purpose, plan, outcome) to set clear expectations for you and your prospect.

Avoid deep-diving into features until you've established “why change?” and “why now?”.

Show up to your discovery with a theory about their pains and your solutions. Don’t just start peppering questions.

Soften the CTA with “would you be open to” instead of heavier asks before the customer is ready to dive deep.

      <description>Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Stay top of mind with your closed/lost opps with introductions, referrals, and nuggets (don't be another email marketer).

Re-engage former customers at new companies by proposing how your product fits them in their new role/company.

Leverage team selling to stay multithreaded in an account instead of restarting a sales cycle when you lose a champion.

Get a new champion by finding the next biggest fan and ramping them with condensed steps that you've already taken in the deal.

      <description>Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Get ahead of every executive conversation by first prepping with a champion pre-call.

Use Slack channels for champion collaboration and driving deals to close.

Before going into an executive demo, make sure the priorities you collected from discovery are aligned with the executive's.

Always create a work-back plan linked to date-of-value so deals don't stall when entering legal, security, etc.

      <title>#121 - Architecting the buyer’s journey (Kyle Asay, VP of Sales @ Qualtrics) </title>
      <description>Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

When you’re asking questions don’t just ask the question. Say, “the reason I’m asking is because (insert problem).

Go into a discovery call with a hypothesis of the problem you can solve. As you prove it out, give little proof points (case studies, stories) so it’s not an interrogation.

When demoing, demo 80/20. 20% of what matters most spend 80% on that. Bonus: stack your demo with what makes your product different as opposed to what everyone has.

Before giving concessions or discounts, narrow the scope (number of seats, commercial terms, service term, number of years in the deal) and get everything on the table before you start giving any sort of concessions.

<li>When you’re asking questions don’t just ask the question. Say, “the reason I’m asking is because (insert problem).</li>
<li>Go into a discovery call with a hypothesis of the problem you can solve. As you prove it out, give little proof points (case studies, stories) so it’s not an interrogation.</li>
<li>When demoing, demo 80/20. 20% of what matters most spend 80% on that. Bonus: stack your demo with what makes your product different as opposed to what everyone has.</li>
<li>Before giving concessions or discounts, narrow the scope (number of seats, commercial terms, service term, number of years in the deal) and get everything on the table before you start giving any sort of concessions.</li>

      <title>#120 - Looking for trouble with humbling disclaimers to land your deals on the button (Charles Muhlbauer, Lead Enablement Manager @ CB Insights)</title>
      <description>Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Go back to “home plate” and re-anchor to top priorities when dealing with demo “nitpicks”.

Use “To what extent” to turn any close-ended question into an open-ended question.

Turn your demo into more discovery with (a) HOW does this compare? (b) WHERE does this fit in your workflow? (c) WHO would use this?

Seek out hesitation. “Based on what you’ve seen today, what would prevent us from moving forward?”

      <title>#119 - Taking control of the buying process (Lauren Bishop, Sr. Commercial Account Executive @ Gong)</title>
      <description>Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Write down what you want to get out of the call and two ways you can get it.

Use one team to prove your business case, then build it out for the others.

Don't enter a PoC unless you have security, legal, etc. wrapped or in progress already.

Don’t fixate on just a person’s title. Someone with tenure may have as much or more political capital than those with a newer, higher title.

Establish a buying window by highlighting a compelling event OR the cost of inaction.

      <title>#115 - Setting expectations with the next next next step (Jake Dunlap CEO @ Skaled Consulting)</title>
      <description>Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Don’t just set the next steps. Set the next next steps.

2nd meeting demos should be 100% business application focused. NOT technical. Set that expectation upfront.

In the 3rd meeting, lead with top 3 themes you’ve heard, then ask “what do you think?” before jumping into demo.

In that meeting, have a 5 minute exec demo and a deep dive demo in your back pocket.

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Don’t just set the next steps. Set the next next steps.

2nd meeting demos should be 100% business application focused. NOT technical. Set that expectation upfront.

In the 3rd meeting, lead with top 3 themes you’ve heard, then ask “what do you think?” before jumping into demo.

In that meeting, have a 5 minute exec demo and a deep dive demo in your back pocket.

      <title>#114 - Handling objections with empathy and education (Joe Caprio, Operating Partner @ Glasswing Ventures)</title>
      <description>Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Incept interest early by citing articles, years at role, X times they’ve had role, etc.

Find and rank top triggers, then use the first one you find when doing outreach.

Establish trust by pointing out challenges or differences with typical customer profiles.

Find design partners by being honest upfront with where your vision / product gaps are.

      <description>Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Challenge your prospect on fit early and often to test buy-in.

Set landmines for competitors during the requirement gathering phase.

Require an exec level bridge with your CEO instead of spending hours in an RFP.

Use carrots to drive close when internal compelling events are lacking.

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Whiteboard out the vision state once you’ve identified the pain.

Link their current state with how far off they are from their vision state.

Bring new members back up to speed before jumping right into the demo.

Use self deprecation on your cold calls - put it on yourself to lower the guard.

Prep your champion when re-engaging an opportunity so they aren’t blindsided.

Keep your emails light. Fewer links, attachments, etc. tend to work better.

Stop overcomplicating your CTAs with word games or aggressive asks.

Try to unpack all the possible underlying causes in a vague objection.

Always provide context before asking for access to power.

Start your JEP with critical events and work backwards from there.

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Label and agree with objections to lower the zone of resistance.

Create an opening by asking “what’s your take on [something they can’t do]”.

Highlight business impacts by asking “are you aware of [relevant insight]”.

Stop reacting and pitching. Instead, lean on humor and interest.

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Roleplay the worst case scenario over and over again until you feel confidence.

Reference a similar company that you work with in early-stage voicemails.

Keep it cool when you jump on a call with an executive. Over-structure is the enemy.

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Strive to get 3/3 criteria before give price: technical validation, budget, power.

Go exec-to-exec when you’re below the line. Never sell alone.

Before you talk at the CXO, start by asking why you’re in the room at all today.

Attach your product to key initiatives surrounding making money or saving money.

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Don’t show that you have the power in a negotiation.

Slow down the negotiations, it should feel like work every time there’s an ask.

Change the plane of negotiation on each ask. Certain “gives” should run out.

Talk them out of a discount unless they’re sure it’s the only cut.

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Use humbling disclaimers to level with the prospect to establish next steps.

Ask about the buying process AFTER you get to the “aha” moment in discovery.

Figure out the “why” when a signing deadline is missed - then determine next steps.

Avoid leading questions which do the opposite of building rapport.

* Start your demo’s with the exciting outcomes and work backwards to reality (integrations, permissions)

Four Actionable Takeaways: 
* Tie each feature you demo to the discovery, then an example, then a use case so it really sticks.
* Give examples of how existing customers with similar pain points are using your tool.
* Avoid the deep-cut discovery with outbound prospects, present your thesis and let them react.
* Once you get to power, immediately leverage them into a demo with the entire team for credibility.

Four Actionable Takeaways: 
* Use “typically” questions to demonstrate your credibility. Avoid the generic, open-ended q’s.
* Lean on your relationship with the champion to be confident you have the deal BEFORE negotiation.
* Figure out all of the non-ARR related gives in your toolbelt and leverage those first.
* Laugh when you get a ridiculous ask on pricing if you’ve gotten agreement on the value.

Four Actionable Takeaways: 
* Send a quick video after a big team demo instead of the 17 page deck.
* Mark-up your case study with key takeaways before sending to the prospect.
* Pain Statement: Despite A we can’t do X which means we don’t get Y as measured by Z.
* Avoid the massive 8 person exec demo and opt to multi-thread instead.

      <title>#52 - Selling the model instead of the features in your negotiations (Anthony Iannarino, President @ SOLUTIONS Staffing)</title>

Four Actionable Takeaways: 

Reverse anchor on pricing with exaggerated deal terms.

Four Actionable Takeaways:

Use under 100 words for your emails, one word for the subject line.

Get away from slightly positive or neutral email sentiment. Different leads to Better.

Only using one communication channel will land you with an 85% lower response rate.

Do some “secret shopping” based on the problem you solve, and put it in the email.

Four Actionable Takeaways:

Identify the boundaries to your customers being on your product and refer them out

Then, now, how. Before it was this, now it’s this, here’s how you do it.

Use typically language when prospects feel they’re the only one with their problem

Prep for a few minutes for one persona. Then only dial into 1 persona for an hour.

Every 10th episode, we tear down one topic. This is how to master negotiation.

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Set expectations with the Upfront Contract - pricing should be determined after your discovery, not before

Price is based on internal (timeline, pain points) and external factors (competitve landscape)

Explain how price is structured BEFORE you give it, then shut up

Seek first to understand - get them to sell themselves first. Discounts need to have a give for get.

Four Actionable Takeaways:

Get to power by asking someone to sign an NDA - requires a certain rank in the org

Find the lowest ranking person in the company who can still buy something

Raise prices to get to power - $10k purchases won’t get you to execs

Bring in your executives for referrals, for early sponsorship, or for closing it all up

Four Actionable Takeaways

The humbling disclaimer: “I feel a bit crazy asking this question, but…”

Use the scale - “is this a 1 meaning it’s the worst thing you’ve ever seen, or a 10?”

Take the headtrash out on your calls and be overly transparent in your discovery

Clarify, isolate, address the problems in a negotiation

      <title>#25 - Cutting your days to close in half through light speed discovery (Justin Welsh, Founder at JW Strategic Advisory)</title>

      <description>Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0

Four Actionable Takeaways:

Plant pain early in your discovery through extreme industry expertise

Use an upfront contract to propose next steps at the beginning of the call

Use the rule of 2 when you hit a tough objection - “this typically means 1 of 2 things”

Ask for permission before hard questions like “if you didn’t have a team, would you buy?”

Four Actionable Takeaways

Use as few words as possible when answering a question

Don’t be afraid to walk away from a deal and tell a customer it might not make sense

Stop tip toeing around your discovery and ask the biggest DQ questions first

“It’s okay to say no and I don’t wanna make these calls anyway”

Every 10th episode, we tear down one topic. This is how to be a machine: you’ll never make the “no time to prospect” excuse again.

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Morning routine: Wake up, make the bed, read, exercise, start on your terms.

Plan your attack: 8-3 are your golden hours, 3-6 are your admin hours. Batch everything.

Crank the wheel: Close email, close slack, draw 80/20 lines everywhere and sprint

Breathe: Unsubscribe from every mailing list, every unnecessary notification. Block it out.

      <title>#21 - Selling pizzas and tearing down sequences with the blue-haired legend (Sam Nelson, SDR Leader at Outreach.io)</title>

Four Actionable Takeaways:

Don’t have 3000 sequences. Have 3 for your main personas and 1 low priority one.

In the Agoge sequence - your first email is super tailored, followed by two bubble ups

After that, tailoring didn’t work. Hit prospects with your best cold email.

If they’ve accepted the invite, don’t sell more. No need to send the confirmation.

      <title>#16 - Prospecting like a human instead of “I hope you are safe in these uncertain times”  (Jason Bay, Blissful Prospecting)</title>

Four Actionable Takeaways:

Find a very granular problem from a call recording. Put that at the top of the sequence. Time and money are not specific.

Pulse check with your prospect when things aren’t going well. Ask them if this is worth it.

Not interested? Say “I get it. I was the one who cold called.” Then ask for permission.

REPLY Method: Relevant results, empathy, personalization, laser focus, you.

Four Actionable Takeaways:

Leverage “I work with many who typically focus on X + Y” to lead the agenda.

Ask your prospect for their top 2 priorities. If it’s too high level, prime the question.

Bring people to the business priorities first instead of getting stuck in the process.

Don’t disqualify an entire company when someone says no. Find another in.

Four Actionable Takeaways:

Double tap the phones - people are more likely to think it’s a real call.

The moment you see someone reply, call them instead of writing a long email reply.

Use a sequence for everything. Replies, objections, open opportunities.

If you see someone opening your emails, call it out! It gets the conversation going.

Four Actionable Takeaways:

Start every day by planning out the whitespace for the day. Then just get after it.

Use demoscovery. Ask how the process looks today, take the demo down a different path.

Write a shared executive memo with recaps from every sales conversation.

Don’t ever do a demo with 20 stakeholders in the room, you can’t satisfy every perspective.

      <link>https://art19.com/shows/30-minutes-to-presidents-club/episodes/1cb5cf57-90c4-4ac0-a696-1ec453e177e1</link>

Every 10th episode, we tear down one topic. The first 30MPC Playbook Episode covers everything cold calling.

TOP ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

Preparation - Get all your research done before, 40 dials over 60 minutes

Tone - Kill all your uptones and slow the conversation down like an executive

Opener - ‘Heard our name tossed around’ or ‘ask for permission.’ Not ‘how’s it going.’

Value - Lead with typically language and problems. Then, solve the problem.

Four Actionable Takeaways:

Send a meeting efficiency survey prior to your calls to get qualification out of the way

Setup feeds for all of your top target accounts as the backbone for your disco

Ask specific impact ?’s like “what happens to rep attainment if you don’t do this?”

Use the subject line ‘Did I lose you?’ with a blank reply email for gone-dark opps

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)

Kevin “KD” Dorsey teaches us to get prospects to admit to their problems without asking unnatural, off-putting questions. Killer questioning tactics while still sounding human.

Four Actionable Takeaways:

Use problem ?’s ending in “so that _____ doesn’t happen.” Then give multiple choice.

Use a slight downtone when hearing the response to get prospects to lean in

Use bucket questions to get your prospect to agree to 1 of 2 problems they’re having

Use “I think this might make sense” before coming in hot with your value prop

      <title>#6 - A cold calling clinic from 5000 dials a month (Ryan Reisert, Reisert Consulting)</title>
      <link>https://art19.com/shows/30-minutes-to-presidents-club/episodes/14ced1e1-fdab-4c01-a9c1-6055a984f0a9</link>
      <description>Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0

Four Actionable Takeaways:

Open every conversation with “Hey it’s Ryan Reisert”, then stop.

When they answer, ask if you can get 27 seconds to tell them why you’re calling?

Work in buckets for everything - finding accounts, researching contacts, making dials.

Document the path. Every time you hit a phone tree, write the dial path down.

Four Actionable Takeaways:

Use the respect contract as your agenda to give the prospect the right to say no throughout the call

Set a timer 5 minutes before the end of your call to drive next steps every time

Use “commercial terms” instead of “price” when negotiating your deals

When you give price, don’t just go silent. Ask “how does that feel?”

Four Actionable Takeaways:

Avoid the double intro on the phone if they ask “wait, who’s this?” Just get on with it.

Close the cold call with “here’s what happens next” instead of leaving it in their hands

Disarm with “I’m not delusional enough to think I’m calling you at the right moment.”

Lead your value prop with your customer’s problems instead of the features in your solution

Four Actionable Takeaways:

Before a negotiation, know YOUR needs / wants + THEIR needs / wants

Set expectations upfront that we don’t do end of month discounts before you need to

Say the price and shut-up. Don’t try to justify it, it shows insecurity

When they ask for discounts, ask probing questions to discover the truth behind the ask.

      <title>#1 - Discovery without the nonsense chit-chat (Joe Caprio, Cofounder @ Reprise, former VP Sales @ Chorus)</title>

      <description>Join the most tactical sales newsletter in the world: https://hubs.ly/Q01-R33G0

Four Actionable Takeaways:

Build rapport by kicking off with PPO (purpose, plan, outcome) instead of chit chat

First is best. Rank your top buying signals. The moment you find one, use it and move on.

Use situational questions to narrow down the key problem areas in a discovery.

Stop finishing sentences for prospects to placate your own insecurities. Let the silence sit.

Why in the world would you listen to 30MPC?

Four Reasons to Listen:

WHAT WE’RE NOT: Not stuck in 1975. Not stuck on fluffy mindset. Only actionable sales tactics.

PREPARATION: Recorded for 45 minutes, cut to 30. Some episodes don’t make it. That’s okay.

POLAR OPPOSITES: Nick is an Enterprise AE. Armand is a MM Sales Leader.

SHOW STRUCTURE: Three actionable tactics at the beginning. The recap email at the end.


Four Actionable Tactics

How to avoid being forced to demo early

Open on the phones by leading with context

How to handle the “not interested” email

The 3x3 cold email
