Deal Story

1nbatopshotfan closed a deal for $256k to the IT, AI/ML Team departments

The was part renewal and part upsell. Dealt with their head of AI/ML who was a tough sale. He wanted products and features that don’t exist outside of movies and tv shows. We had to ground him in what was actually possible and bring him around. Took all 12 months of the bake off to do that and he resigned and upgraded. Renewal took their chunk, the first 100k, everything else was my upsell. Provided a secure platform that won after a 12 month paid bake-off. Currently houses 2k users and adding more rapidly. Next renewal discussions are underway and we are looking forward to doubling this number mid year next year.

The main thing was helping them realize the size of the problem they are solving for versus what they thought they needed to solve for. We worked hard on IT to plug gaps in security and they realized the risk of not upsizing and adding users.

Well played, and congrats!

What kind of knowledge about the space do you have to display to speak meaningfully to these types of people?

Did you come into this with an AI or ML background?

Honestly it didn’t matter. This person was a know it all who would cut off our researchers during a call we had set up for him. Very much wanted to be seen as the expert so we just kind of ignored his worst impulses and focused on value through security

People LOVE to demonstrate their own (perceived) superiority. Such a pain in the ass, but when it closes it's worth it.
