Most B2B startups initially sell to other startups before going after more established companies. And for good reason—it’s a logical first step to pursue other companies that are like-minded and in similar situations. Plus, startups tend to be smaller, more approachable, have less bureaucracy when it comes to making purchasing decisions (meaning they’re often quicker to close ), and then more forgiving when things go wrong after they’re a paying customer.

We are givers in Sales. We give and give and give in the hopes that at the end of the sales process, we get what we want – which is the signed contract and commission. The problem is we tend to give a bunch of stuff away without really getting much in return. When this happens, we’re actually conditioning the prospect to treat us like a doormat.

Some people want sales to be easy. They want more and better sales without putting forth the effort necessary to acquire clients and opportunities. Many of them believe that their business should run like Amazon.com, with them offering a product or service or solution, and people clicking to buy what they sell, an idea that works well for some transactional sales, but performs poorly when their target clients need help (and even Amazon has salespeople for AWS, their biggest money-maker).

The recipe for an organization’s sales success used to look a lot like your grandma’s favorite cookie recipe: add a pinch of this and a dash of that, stir to combine and throw it in the oven to bake. Take some salespeople with grit and EQ , track contacts and follow up. But whereas grandma’s cookies always came out delicious, in sales, this approach relied on persistence and no small amount of luck to close the deal.

I hear the question often. “What is Sandler Enterprise Selling?”. But first, a broader question must be considered. “What is enterprise selling itself?”. Indeed. At Sandler, we believe strongly in pain – the great motivator. “No pain, no sale” is one of our classic quotes. And in selling, while the focus is typically on the prospect’s pain, sales teams feel acute pains as well.

Unfortunately, many people still think they need to “Get past the screener” in order to speak with a decision maker. Worse, there are trainers who teach this nonsense. Assistants (we don’t call them screeners) see through these tactics, and that pretty much ensures the salespeople never get through. You’ll hear what to avoid, and what TO DO to get the assistant working with you in getting to the buyer.
