No is actually the second-best answer a sales rep can hear besides the obvious yes. The worst sin in sales is not for a sales rep to lose a deal, it’s to take a long time to lose a deal. So, the faster you can figure out a solution is not the right fit and be open and honest with the sales rep, the better off we’ll all be. Placating a sales rep and thinking you’re being nice by not telling them you’re not interested is one of the worst things you can do because it gives us a false sense of hope

I was speaking with a Chief Revenue Officer of a mid-market, mar-tech, SaaS company who was earning about $15 million in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) and surprisingly enough, despite having the word “Revenue” in his title, he was shockingly disinterested in measuring the ROI from his channel team. What’s worse? I’ve had this same conversation with plenty of individuals at various levels of leadership, at organizations of various shapes and sizes, and in a variety of verticals.

Product presentations and demos can be the determining factor in winning or losing a sale. In many cases, it comes down to the credibility of the presenter more than the capabilities of the product. From a buyer’s perspective, the psychology goes something like this: “If you can articulate my issues in the exact manner I do, your product must be great at handling them.” Think back to a sale you lost when you clearly had the superior solution, or a sale you won when you clearly

The question often comes up regarding defining enterprise selling versus selling into smaller accounts. Given the criticality of pain in selling, I define enterprise selling in terms of the unique pains and challenges that selling organizations face in dealing with large enterprise accounts. Long sales cycles, extensive buyer networks, and sophisticated competitors create problems not encountered with smaller accounts.
