Negotiating is one of the most important skills salespeople can develop, yet it’s often overlooked. Which is a real problem… Because after you’ve put effort and resources into researching and creating a solid pitch and proposal, it only makes sense to come to the table prepared to negotiate with the prospect. The key is to create a negotiation strategy in advance, which helps you talk about price and other important elements of the deal.

As a startup Entrepreneur, you are full of hope, drive, and ambition to create something you know will not only benefit your ideal audience – but create awesome income and meaning for your life too. However, as the days, weeks, and even months go on; you start to notice the struggle of working alone (also known as a Solopreneur ). You may have clients who pay well and enjoy your services or products, but as it usually does; the toll of working on your own slowly sets in.

You're famished and someone suggests that you go on a 2-day fast! You're late, it's a two-hour ride by car to your destination and someone suggests that you walk! You're exhausted and ready for a nap and someone suggests you should clean our your basement! You've decided to eat better and lay-off carbs, and someone suggests ordering pizza! These are all crazy opposites of what you were focused on and they cause you to ask, "whaaat?".

But Bob Apollo and Scott Santucci started a great sub-discussion. I wanted to expand on this. Too often, because we focus on our jobs and achieving our goals, we lose track on why customers buy, instead focusing on selling.

Attribution modeling is a way to analyze which marketing channels are accredited with lead conversion. Think of your attribution model as a map of sorts. You have a starting point (the campaign) and a finish (the deal), and it is your attribution model that will reveal how your buyer travelled from point A to point B.

You can back into it. Ultimately, in most SaaS models, in the U.S., sales reps will take home about 20% of the total deal value they close. In the early days, especially if the company is venture-backed, it might be more, as much as 30% or even a smidge higher with accelerators, etc. VC dollars are there to accelerate growth, and if paying a bit more to the sales reps helps there, that can often be worth it.

First off, don’t over complicate it. Your objective is first to generate interest and then get them to return your call. That’s it! Don’t think that your goal is to answer every objective or to even motivate them to immediately buy. You’re not going to do that by leaving one voicemail. That kind of thinking will only suck the life out of you when you don’t see it happening.
