4. 01ST STRATEGY
“Think BIG, Have Attitude”:
Think big (dollars and scope), not just the immediate opportunity in front of
you. Behave as if your company is big, even if it’s not. Salesforce’s average
customer had 12 users when Rudnitsky started out.
5. 02ND STRATEGY
“No deal is won or lost alone”:
Bring in the entire team to work on new deals, and brainstorm about how to
do a better job. “I’m less impressed with someone who closes a $2 million deal
alone than I am with someone who brought all of us in and still closed the
same $2 million deal,” Rudnitsky said.
6. 03RD STRATEGY
“Connect the dots”:
Never cold-call, always call with a plan. Constantly reach out to contacts and
find connections before engaging with a prospect.
7. 04TH STRATEGY
“Focus on ‘why not”:
Instead of thinking about why a deal will close, focus on why it might not.
“Anticipating the ‘why nots’ gives you a significant advantage over
[competitors],” he writes.
8. 05TH STRATEGY
“Always take the deal off the table”:
Make sure every deal is closed if it’s ready to close. Don’t waste any time,
leaving a chance for the deal stalling and potentially getting away.
9. 06TH STRATEGY
“Get your face in the place”:
Meet your customers in person. You won’t be able to learn anything about
them by just talking on the phone. It also strengthens the customers’
confidence in you.
10. 07TH STRATEGY
“Fun facts build instant credibility”:
Try to learn everything about your customer and collect ‘fun facts’ that could
be used to build your credibility.
11. 08TH STRATEGY
“Be proactive on all paperwork”:
Make sure all paperwork is in place. Otherwise, it will “come back to bite you.”
12. 09TH STRATEGY
“Always get quid pro quo in negotiations”:
Don’t be afraid to ask for more and say no when needed. For example, make
sure you’re allowed to announce the deal in the press because it gives huge
publicity that could lead to other opportunities.
13. 10TH STRATEGY
“Share best practices”:
Share great emails or proposals with the rest of the team and try to learn from
them. And use them in other deals too.
14. 11TH STRATEGY
“Go after game changers”:
Look for deals that can take the company to the next level. “These deals are
revolutionary in a company’s evolution. Winning huge customers, such as Dell
and Japan Post, was game changing for our company.
