Being a founder is easy. You just start something. Grab a smart friend, hop on over to WeWork, hit 99 Designs for the logo, and you’re off to the races. Being a CEO is tough. You have to convince people to join you. To drag the troops up the hill. To invest in you when there’s no logical reason to. To do the impossible. You probably haven’t done it before.

Sell me this pen is a line made famous by the movie The Wolf of Wall Street. In the movie, Belfort (played by Leonardo DiCaprio) leans in and asks someone to sell me this pen. When the person starts presenting, he gives them a look as though they have failed and carries onto the next person. So why did they fail? And how do you correctly respond to the sell me this pen question?

Let me ask you a question or two: Is every client you’re working with someone you wish you could duplicate? Are they profitable, finding value in your solution, and do you look forward to your next conversation with them? If you didn’t answer a resounding YES to those questions – maybe it’s because they aren’t the right clients for you… and if you’d found that out sooner, you may not only have saved yourself some headache, but had more time to spend on the right ones.

Starting out in sales as an SDR can be extremely exciting and rewarding, but also soul crushing when things don’t click. After chatting with hundreds of CEOs and sales leaders over the last couple years, I know they too feel the pressure when things aren’t working because, ultimately, the buck stops with them. But unlike those in leadership positions, a junior SDR tends to be pointed in a specific direction by a superior and will, by default, trust they’re being pointed in the right direction.

In a world filled with sales reps trying to make quota, the same goal remains: close the sale. Yes, as a sales professional, your job is ultimately to sell. However, what if selling for the sake of selling wasn’t your main mission? Enter value-based selling. The goal with a value-based selling approach is to put the needs of the customer first, guiding them through the sales process to make an informed decision to best suit their needs (ideally, leading to the purchase of your product).

And the more junior ones need more buy-in from the rest. The more junior the partner, or investing professional, the more she/he needs others to buy-in.
