Took me about 7 months selling e-Learning courses specialised in new age technologies, and the challenge was the price point at which I was selling. Per Employee/Year cost was equivalent to 60% of the employee's annual salary. And considering the market being sold into, this was insanely high. Other markets the cost of learning per employee/year was close to about 5-8% of the annual salary. Had to speak with 31 different stakeholders, change the pricing model/product packaging in a way that we bring down the cost for them. That was the only way to add value. This took a lot of internal stakeholder collaboration too. And for the deal to be counted in the same financial year, and not miss my targets - had to get the final signatures on December 28, when the EB was on vacations. (Don't ask me how I reached out, and what I said that he signed it on December 29). $$$$$.
