It's like dating gone-bad. The process is super long and you need to adapt to this way of selling.

 

If you can marry the data and the strategy together, you can really sell up or down. 

 

16:20 

Sanj Bhayro, VP of Sales EMEA at Intercom is on the Growth Stage discussing how you can win big customers.

 

"Enterprise is a different set of customers. How you land and grow an account like this is very different to mid-market."

 

15:21

Hire young talent, they will adapt to your sales model and processes rapidly.

 

"If you hire a batch of new salespeople at once, it's easier to compare the results."

 

Communicate the career path early 💡

 

15:17

When opening up to new countries, no one knows you. So cold calling is very effective.

 

"Reserve separate time for prospecting and cold calling."

 

15:13

Timo outlines the five steps LeadDesk has taken for international sales success:

  1. Establish country organizations
  2. Defining the fundamentals of cold calling 
  3. Ideal salesperson profile 
  4. Scalability 
  5. Sales culture 

 

15:11

 

We've gone back over to the Growth Stage where Timo Kättö VP of Sales at LeadDesk is talking about scaling sales internationally. 

 

14:47

"The war for talent is not so big if you're willing to look further afield" 

 

People like being remote. You can structure your day however you want. 

 

14:43

Now Nick Adams, VP of Sales at Globalization Partners is up on the Scale Stage. Discussing how you can recruit and retain talent in the world of remote work.

 

Cultural nuances are very important, such as ensuring you book meetings within their work hours whatever timezone they're in. 

 

14:16

Rule three: Fix your roof while the sun shines. 

 

Don't live by the saying "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." If you keep running fire to fire, you will wear your people out. On the sales side, you can leverage change easier when your salespeople are already being successful.

Rule two: Focus on the customer and not over-reliance on your process.

 

We too often become a "prisoner to our own processes."

 

14:07

"We're all relying too much on our best salespeople."

 

14:05 

Now Nate Remmes, EVP Commercial Business at Salesloft is on the Scale Stage. 

 

He's outlining the three mistakes to avoid to build a successful sales engine.

"Trust is given not earnt"

 

You need to seek out what is right for you. Particularly for sales reps, some thrive off always being 'on the grind'. 

 

11:21

Now Øyvind Reed, CEO at Whereby is discussing prioritizing wellbeing. 

 

Something important for salespeople to consider, with it being such a high-pressured role.

We don't trust our salespeople. It's time we recognized sellers as talented and capable individuals. 

 

Daria Danilina speaking at the Accelerate Stage at SaaStock 2022

She's talking about changing the perspective of sales.

Kevin talks about aiming smaller. To focus on what sales development representatives (SDRs) can control.

 

"The things SDRs need to know is overwhelming if we don't set them up for success."

 

Skill development is an area that most companies miss. You need to be able to practice.

"More is not a number, you need to be very specific about what you want." 

 

If you want to change a metric you need to change a:
