Deal Story

kbites closed a deal for $61.7k to the DevOps department

Whoever says inbound leads are easy to close?

This deal took me 6 months. The prospect came in via inbound lead in Q4 2020. After some initial chat, discussion and demo, and an opportunity opened, they went dark, opportunity closed.

This deal required consistency over emails and phonecalls, before I was able to set-up another meeting with the Decision Maker in Q1 2021. Another opportunity opened and moved them to a trial, but got blocked by the power-users this time as they did not see enough value during the trial. Opportunity closed.

Took another two months before they came back again, this time with a compelling event and a proper timeline. New opportunity opened. Deal accelerated, took 2 weeks of procurement, and finally the contract is signed.

Overall, 5-6 months of constant contact, and the never-say-die attitude.

Congrats @kbites! I wish I had your patience. 

How'd you deal with management? I'm sure they must have questioned the 3 different opps for the same company?

@SignNRecline Definitely! Was just missing the last push, which is the compelling event of a new product launching in June. This product launch was in conjunction with an MNC, who imposed strict requirements on them. To achieve these requirements, they needed the product I was selling.
On second thoughts, the 2nd Opp could be pushed out further, but somehow I went trigger-happy and closed-lost it.
