Selling to a large company is like selling to a country

Selling to a large company is like selling to a country. You establish a connection, network by asking for referrals and cross referencing discussions, find an initial buyer, and continue the process to scale. You can imagine the rest, right?

Easy as 1-2-3 it seems mate.

Just establish a connection, just easily network and ask for referrals and just find an initial buyer.

U ever sold to a Canadian bank? Shit is fucking awful. 100 layers of incompetent mouth breathing middle management assholes standing in the way of your payday. Numbskulls that are far too smooth brained to get outta their own way and get a deal done

You didn’t even attempt to to build that analogy. I’ve seen better effort from a raccoon trying to steal a greasy ham.

I get the analogy and it definitely had potential to be a decent post buuuuuuut, I thought the 2nd half didn’t load in for me at first then I realized that’s all it was. Love the ‘imagine the rest’ line tho, making us make this a good post

I think you’re missing the end of the analogy. Honestly wasn’t bad until it ended too soon.

Hahaha - Build 10X pipeline. All sales for my team are backloaded (aka closing in 2nd half of the year). A $1.53m deal took 18months to close and 5 months to prospect after initial conversation.

Hence it’s important to identify the dm early in the convo

I think the end of this post is “train your SDRs into a disciplined sales army, embark on righteous conquest to increase your market share, and then make history as a great sales tactician and conqueror.”
