SVP texted me “let’s make you rich”

After signing a pilot agreement for an account with a 3-year TCV between $12M-$16M. 

Pilots in my industry have a high conversion rate (80%+). We don’t have any competition and we’re already deployed on their direct competitors alongside some of their industry peers. We also address a major operating cost with a hard ROI.

Feels pretty surreal to be moving into a pilot with the largest deal I’ve ever worked, larger than our flagship customer by at least 50%, and the third largest account in the country.

That's awesome, celebrate the win. Make sure they are successful. As they say, stay humble & stay hungry. The commission isn't worth anything until it's in your bank account.

That is a great follow up from them. Now keep your nose to the ground and be willing to wash some feet when needed. Stay in the servant mode for them and it will land smoothly.

congrats on the pilot!! Don't calculate those commish dollars just yet, as soon as you open up the calculator app, something crazy will happen to blow up the deal.

As an old manager once told me in my earlier days as a BDR, you can smell the leather on that new car, but don’t buy it yet! Congrats on the win!
