Few Want to Go Into Sales

Iannarino

The Gist: The decades-old stereotype of a high-pressure salesperson is no longer accurate. While some sales organizations still use legacy approaches, none of them are based on high-pressure sales.

What If You Couldn’t Discount?

Partners in Excellence

How would buying and selling change if you couldn’t discount? What if the price is the price period? There would be no more, “If you give me an order by the end of the quarter, I’ll give you X% off…” or, “We’re running a promotion… ” or, “What if I could come in Y% lower than the alternative… ” or, “For you, we will offer a special price… ” What if the price was the price?

E.g., companies like Elastic, Fastly and Twilio weren’t literally solo founded, but in the end basically ended up that way.
