The Gist: It is critically important to guide your clients through the conversations necessary to improving their results. It’s also important that you have the right conversations at the right time. Time each conversation based on its ability to create value for decision-makers and your other contacts. There are some conversations that create greater value for your clients earlier in the conversation.

By Tibor Shanto. Want to split a room of salespeople, just ask if “sales is a numbers game or not?” The debate has raged on for years with few converts. Ultimately, neither can convince the other that they were wrong, but neither can say they were right. Full disclosure, I came from the sales is a numbers game camp. While it is safe to say I have evolved, I have not abandoned my “sales is a numbers game” friends.

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. The greater pressure is internal, the result of a role that provides more autonomy and more responsibility for individual results. Some years ago, I taught a class on Professional Selling at Capital University.

No will be surprised by the back-to-school TV ads in a week or two, then Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc. This regularity leads to people developing habits in response, action – reaction.

The Gist: Your clients measure your performance by the value of the conversations they have with you. Your intentions can spoil the outcomes you hope for by preventing the conversation from being valuable to your contacts. Focusing on the conversations that your clients find most valuable for their goals is the key to creating a preference to buy from you.

Price is important—of course, but sometimes I think we, sales people, make it more important than it is to the customer. Too often, pricing, moreover our willingness to discount, is the centerpiece of our sales strategies. First, the customer will always say that prices is important. It is, customers want to pay a fair price, they want to make sure they are getting the best pricing they can get.

The Gist: No one likes getting a straight pitch on LinkedIn. That approach is treated as “spam.”. You can make the same mistakes when making a cold call by using the same flawed techniques. Creating opportunities is too important to emphasize quantity over quality. As a professional courtesy, I accept cold calls. I even take the spam calls that reach my iPhone, working very hard to persuade the person trying to steal from me to quit their job and find a more honorable profession.

Q: What is the meanest thing that venture capitalists can do to founders? Even today, a lot of founders worry about raising VC capital. They hear the stories about how things went sideways. And those stories often are true.

That’s right – you are probably going about phone prospecting wrong, and blaming your low success on an “ancient” and “out of date” prospecting strategy of cold calling. You may have just written it off – “no more cold calling” OR you may just accept that your reps are not productive during this block of occasional time but you ask them to do it anyway.

The Gist: Most discovery is too shallow to create much value for your prospective clients. Finding the presenting problem is now a superficial, commoditized level of discovery. You create value when you uncover a problem’s root causes and promote deeper understanding. Identifying a prospective client’s problem is a tried and true approach, the core of legacy solution selling.

First off, the axiom that companies are bought, not sold, is mostly right. 95 times out of 100, you can’t wake up some morning and just go sell your start-up. Unless there are pre-existing relationships that have expressed a desire to buy (which sometimes there are) … calling up CorpDev at Google isn’t going to work. So to me the real question is — when you get an offer … how do you know?

Q: What’s the proper way to commission a multi-year SaaS sale with increasing ACV each year? There’s no perfect answer here, but at least until you are at $10m+ ARR , my strongest recommendation is align around cash. Later , you will align around bookings (including multi-year bookings), and change the comps plan to align around bookings. But the sucker better is to align around bookings anywhere < $10m-$20m in ARR, really, at anytime when cash still matters.
