As a seasoned sales leader; we’d love to know more about the sales processes and strategies you rely on to drive business success? A few thoughts on the salestech you use to further these efforts?
I am a process and data driven sales leader.
At Digital.ai we leverage the MEDDIC sales methodology to ensure we understand our clients business challenge and determine we prioritize where we invest our time and resources.
We couple this methodology with our CRM system to ensure we take a personalized, customer centric approach in all of our engagements. Our CRM system helps us identify opportunities in our go-to-market strategy, competitive insights and enables predictable revenue forecasting.
Take us through some of the common flaws in a typical B2B sales process that you’d caution sales leaders/sales teams against?
I believe the key to successfully selling into Enterprise clients is focus. I would encourage sales teams in the enterprise space to limit the number of clients have your field sales team calling on.
If your enterprise sellers have too many accounts, they will not be able to focus on customer success and won’t be able to get deep enough into solving for each clients unique business challenge.
