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 f...

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 & 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.

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 wh...

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 s...

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 the...

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.
