WR Savages: Are you interested in Deal Swapping?

I've got an idea for a new WR Member Benefit: Deal Swap.

We arrange it by ICP, so let's assume we get 100 salespeople who all sell to VPs of Marketing in Tech. (we can do different ones too, obvi... this is an example).

All 100 reps bring 5-10 customer contacts they have strong relationships with. Companies they know well. Can give the skinny on how to get through.

All 100 reps also bring 5-10 prospects they are trying to crack. Customers they want to close but haven't been able to crack, yet.

We make matches. So you give some intel to 1 person, get some intel from another. Everyone walks away a little smarter, maybe some warm intros happen... goodness ensues.

Who is game for this?

Would you participate in a Deal Swap? (trade intel / warm intros)

Florida is Canada's Florida. Wisconsin... Not a place I'd go out of my way to see again. Sorry?

No need to be sorry, but I am curious what area you visited/were at some point that you disliked? and also, what about us do you not like? That we're all raging alcoholics who apologize for everything and eat too much cheese?

40% of the deals I sold last year was to tech companies in Canada. It was awesome

I do shit like this under the table (and occasionally loop in my partners manager) with a ton of 3rd party companies in the e-commerce space. (Web designers, payment processors, marketing partners, etc.)

If a mutual relationship can help you (and them) make an extra couple hundred dollars a month - I'll drink to that!

Very intriguing concept. As I believe I am the only one in here who does biz dev for healthcare staffing, I doubt I'd have any personal benefit. But I'm just a tiny lil cog in the WR machine

Yessss- I do this with friends all over who sell to the same DMs. I love it, especially since we are anonymous it would be virtually impossible to say how you got the info, keeping my relationship intact. I love it.

I think this is a cool idea but would be very tough to successfully execute. Hence my "maybe" vote.

I voted yes, I am eager to learn about how will you conduct the matches. Very intriguing

This is a great idea @sahil. I also don’t want to burst your bubble but there is a company doing this currently called clearrity and they are pretty far along on it. Maybe a partnership could exist there

I said maybe as well.
I sell to a very specific industry / sector, so the connections I share might not be as widely useful as some others, but I'm intrigued none the less!

I think this is a great idea. Sales is all about networking and if we all tapped into eachother's we could all make an absolute killing and have fun doing it.

Love the idea! There’s gotta be so much collective knowledge on various accounts and markets in the WR, only makes sense to share what we know with a community we trust to take action on it
