Deal Story

newsalesguy14 closed a deal for $23.2k to the Marketing department

First deal closed EVER!!!


Was supposed to come in end of July, but my DM went on vacation. He just came back yesterday, 8/9, and I had time on his calendar to tie up loose ends today 8/10. I incentivized him to get time on his calendar right when coming back by offering to ship him his favorite drink and to cheers on Zoom while finalizing everything.


Showed up today to an hour long meeting, and negotiated a little bit but came to an agreement that would require me to go up for approval about 10 mins in. I ask him - if I can go up for approval right now and get this contract ready to within the next hour while we have time on the calendar, will you sign it today and cheers to a partnership - he agreed.


Immediately got the approval needed (and negotiated a 10% price increase since he was knocking some of my comish with a shorter contract term) and sent the agreement, which he immediately signed!


Feels great to get my first win! I started as an AE in April and honestly felt bad and that I was taking too long to ramp... didn't have a ton of confidence and was really frustrated that it took me so long to close something. But I have a few other deals that are looking good in my pipe as well and now I'm feeling good...


Thanks to all my fellow War Room folks who told me to just be patient and keep at it! Definitely worth it! This first commission check is extra special to me - huge boost in my confidence since I had my manager on this final call, but told him never mind I'll take it myself and still got it in before the expiration date of next Monday! Saved me a ton of grey hairs this week!

dwightyouignorantsale closed a deal for $35k to the IT, Marketing departments
This was a CLUSTER of a deal. Long story short, our product team and our partners product teams were far behind the timeline they should have been (…classic) and we had to sell without a real product. ...
