This week, we welcomed Don Otvos into the Bowery Capital studio to discuss "Shortening SaaS Sales Cycles." Whether it's your average cycle across all opportunities or that one yet-to-close whale eating up resources, time-to-close is a universal concern. Don has deep experience in and an excellent background for dealing with this problem. Currently, he is the VP of Sales Ops at DataHug, a sales optimization platform that helps reduce the blind spot for sales managers so they can forecast more accurately and better coach their reps. Prior to that, Don series as a Senior Manager of Global Sales Ops at Yammer, and beforehand spent time an Account Management roles at Mulesoft. In our episode, Don describes a great framework for how to go about solving the sales cycle problem in your own environment. The framework covers three main steps, each of which we explore in depth: (1) focus getting a foot in the door; (2) discover the "compelling events" that occur in your SaaS sales cycles; and (3) institutionalize learnings into your sales process to affect change. Give a listen and we hope you enjoy another edition of the Bowery Capital Startup Sales Podcast!
