You know you've got the C-Suite's confidence when you can get away with this

Fresh back from meeting with the board. It was a 3-hour tour of the last 60 days of building a sales process, hiring, planning, projecting, scripting, and basically creating an outbound sales motion from dirt.


I wasn't really stressing it, quite honestly, because I've never worked so hard at anything. If they were going to roast me, I would have walked away with a clear conscience, knowing that I just don't know as much as I think I know.


But the plan met approval, offers of support, and reassurance of their commitment to the effort. Really nice when a plan comes together. Shoutout to those who commented on the redacted plan. Special nod to ๏ปฟ@Gasty๏ปฟ and ๏ปฟ@Revenue_Rambo๏ปฟ for taking a deep dive.


Today, I told the chiefs I would revise this years projection. Just sent it.

Glad it worked out for you! Love the confidence of knowing you did the very best you could - and that the reaction wasnโ€™t going to matter. Sometimes you just KNOW though. Iโ€™m sure that confidence showed.

Thanks friend. Yeah, I guess sooner or later we get to a point where our best effort is just going to have to be enough.

If sales people didnโ€™t have quotas, and were paid just a flat rate of whatever they sold, do you think think that A)Salespeople would work just as hard? B) Create a better culture within the Sales Org? C) Create better relationships with their buyers?

Get holding of C level executives or Director are very difficult due to busy schedule. what are the tactics you use for prospecting enterprise clients?
