INSIGHT, IDEAS AND IMPACT.
2. DISCLAIMER

on the skills and strategies required
to sell large spend, high-impact solutions
to the Fortune 1000.
3. DIFFERENTIATE OR DIE!
To avoid commoditization, differentiate your product, service and sales approach.
This presentation focuses on how to differentiate sales approach.
4. INSIGHT, IDEAS & IMPACT
Selling to executives requires understanding
of why they would meet with a salesperson.
Uncertainty is the lever that opens the door.
Executives are willing to meet with people
who provide fresh ideas that challenge their
assumptions and shift their paradigms so
they see their business in a new light. If you
share just one provocative idea with them--
customized to their business objectives and
challenges– you’ll be positioned as a
salesperson that is more intelligent, more
insightful, more visionary, and certainly
braver than the competition.
5. BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE
Enterprise salespeople must speak the language of
business finance. Addressing the financial ratios and
operational metrics they use to manage and measure
success can WIN THE DEAL!
Construct a Business Case that demonstrates how your
product or service impacts the financial metrics they
use to measure profitable growth (EBIT, ROA) and/or
delivers positive improvement on critical operational
metrics (inventory turns, talent management,
employee productivity, customer experience.)
6. PROVOCATIVE IDEA
RECIPE FOR PROVOCATIVE IDEA
Combine multiple data points
and stir.
Blend with creativity to find an
area of convergence.
Bake until it rises and becomes
flavorful.
If it flops, start over.
7. CIA VALUE MESSAGING TEMPLATE
(<20 second voicemail or 1 paragraph LinkedIn message/email)
Begin with a CHUNK of Actionable Information or Trigger Event:
On the quarterly earnings call, your CEO said you plan to invest in
additional distribution centers for direct-to-customer and store fulfillment.
Your objectives are to re-platform for improved functionality while maintaining
15% operating margin…the highest in your space.
Add an INSIGHT, IDEA OR IMPACT:
XXXX optimizes productivity of your current system while achieving your
initiative to enhance the Omni-channel experience with minimal CapEx costs.
Finish with an ASK OR ACTION:
My name is XXX and I will send an Outlook invite for a meeting.
8. SURROUND THE DECISION
Multiple titles, functions, points of view, special interests
and choice points are involved in every major buying
decision. COVER THEM ALL: HIGH, WIDE & DEEP!
9. SALES TIPPING POINT
IMAGINE THIS SCENARIO:
Five individuals enter a conference room
to finalize a major buying decision. In the
discussion, every person in the room
mentions your company and name, far
eclipsing the number of mentions
garnered by others on the short-list. Since
everyone in the room is familiar with you,
choosing you as a partner seems the
obvious choice.
DRUM ROLL:
YOU ACHIEVED A SALES TIPPING POINT!

Editor's Notes
This presentation is not intended for every salesperson. It is specifically focused
on the skills and strategies required
to sell large spend, high-impact solutions
to the Fortune 1000.
Construct messages that cut through the clutter, position you as a salesperson that is prepared, professional and provocative, and get the meeting. After you script the message, edit it until it is pithy and powerful: <20 seconds for a voice mail message and one tight paragraph for email or LinkedIn.
