In this episode, Doug and Kyle discuss the importance of data in sales and the role of a Rev Ops partner. They touch on the pitfalls of being too focused on discovery and the need to shift towards meaningful business conversations that take into account the risk-averse nature of buyers, the impact of the pandemic on sales, the potential of AI to accelerate research and provide insights for sales conversations while recognizing the importance of tangible outcomes that matter to revenue leaders, and more. Let’s avoid revenue leak and achieve revenue precision, together.
Here’s what’s inside:
Meaningful interactions are key: Sales reps should focus on having business conversations with potential clients and strive to understand why they need to change and why they should do it now. This approach can lead to more genuine and productive conversations.
Embrace hypothesis-based selling: Sellers should use hypothesis-based selling to build a hypothesis around what problems the person or organization they are selling to may be going through. This can help sellers prepare before getting on calls with prospects and tailor their offerings to better meet the client's needs.
Re-assess ideal customer profiles: Due to the pandemic and its impact on the market, many companies may need to reassess their ideal customer profiles (ICP) and shift their buyer targets. CFOs are now getting involved in smaller deals, so it's important to adjust ICPs accordingly.
