What We Will Be Talking About
STREAMLINING SALES PROCESSES FOR MAXIMUM REVENUE IMPACT AT SCALE
#MTWEBINAR @mindtickle
~ Terry Kelman, Director of Sales Enablement & Training, SenStay Inc
1. Newborn - Kernel of product, big idea, big potential market. No sales people.
2. Product - Something someone will buy. Figure out who. Sales begin to
anybody for any price. Free if Open Source DNA.
LIFECYCLE OF A STARTUP: SALES POV
#MTWEBINAR @mindtickle
3. Sales Acceleration –
• Looking for low hanging fruit: - Early Adopters buy to try, easy if Open Source - Surprise solution to an operational or IT problem
• Few sales people, steal competitors’ people or super stars in nearby industry
• Prospecting is by shotgun approach. Web leads from Marketing?
LIFECYCLE OF A STARTUP: SALES POV
#MTWEBINAR @mindtickle
• Sales Process = Get inside an organisation, talk to enough people and you’ll
find a customer
• Sell features and functions (speeds, feeds, bits, bytes)
LIFECYCLE OF A STARTUP: SALES POV
#MTWEBINAR @mindtickle
4. Revenue Explosion - Investors want rapid growth from rapid sales hiring. The Big Bet: Double the cost of sales and in a year the new sales people will
double revenue and more.
LIFECYCLE OF A STARTUP: SALES POV
#MTWEBINAR @mindtickle
Big Problems –
• Sales person hiring model changes: Super Star to Mere Mortal
• Low hanging fruit is gone: FIND customers to MAKE customers
• Technical Buyer to Business Buyer: Speeds, feeds, bits and bytes to Financial Value
LIFECYCLE OF A STARTUP: SALES POV
#MTWEBINAR @mindtickle
Big Solution - Responsibility of Training and Enablement: MAKE a new kind of
sales person
• Knows certain things
• Can behave in certain ways
LIFECYCLE OF A STARTUP: SALES POV
#MTWEBINAR @mindtickle
• Sells value first and product second
• Calls on business decision makers
• Starts building funnel and closing deals quickly (3 – 6 months)
#MTWEBINAR @mindtickle
HOW A SALES PERSON HAS TO BEHAVE (MOST IMPORTANT)
What does “Sell Value” mean?
• Sell = Tell the customer you can help improve his business.
• Value = Explain the financial impact = Dollars added to revenue or subtracted from cost. Both make the bottom line grow
How do you do that?
#MTWEBINAR @mindtickle
SELL VALUE FIRST AND PRODUCT SECOND
#MTWEBINAR @mindtickle
CAUSE AND EFFECT: FROM PRODUCT TO DOLLARS
#MTWEBINAR @mindtickle
MANAGE COST
Mitigating risk to revenue from down time:
$16,000,000,000 revenue per year = $30,441 revenue per min 365 days * 24 hours * 60 min = 525,600 min/year
#MTWEBINAR @mindtickle
ENABLE REVENUE INCREASE
Enabling additional customers (1/10% increase) to use the website
$16,000,000,000 revenue per year X 0.001
$16,000,000
• When the customer asks, “How do you do that? How will you improve my business
operations? How does the database mitigate risk of outage?”
• Your answer takes you to PRODUCT
• When you PROVE the product works, you prove its financial value
• The benefits for pricing and negotiating are amazing!
Recap: When you hit Revenue Explosion, You have to MAKE Customers
To do that you need to MAKE sales people.
The Key Behavior of the sales person is to Sell Value First, Then Product!
#MTWEBINAR @mindtickle
THEN PRODUCT
