12. Pre-Approval Refresher

13. Pop Quiz!
We no longer have default agreements...what do we
have?
• Rep must select payment terms from the opportunity page– payment terms
now live on the opp and not on the merchant page
What bank details does the merchant have to enter now?
• Bank
• BSB
• Bank account name
• Bank account number

14. Pop Quiz!
What is recall/reject and how is it different from chatter?
• Clear, concise reasons for why a deal isn’t approvable as is- and
instructions for how to make it approvable!
• No more long winded chatters that get lost in an approver’s inbox!
Where do I put my recall notes?
• In notes for Media Planning
• NOT chatter!
What does it mean to get a deal recalled?
• Final decision
• No going back to traffic!

15. Pop Quiz!
What’s the pitch for why we are charging 2% for credit
cards?
• Of course, this is simply a standard charge, obviously LivingSocial will not
charge merchants for our share of these fees!
What changes with pre approval with our current
workflow?
• Submit the opportunity to traffic before getting the signature. Once it’s
signed, it’s done!
• Just swapping sending the agreement with submitting to traffic- nothing else
has changed!

16. Shift in Selling
Contract calls!
• Why are they more important now?
• What benefit do they have?
How do we set one up?
• “Ok Mr. Merchant, I’m excited about what we’ve put together. Based on how
well you did last time I don’t foresee a problem getting you approved by my
quality assurance team. They take 24 hours to give feedback so I need to
schedule a time to go through everything with you tomorrow– they’ll either
give us the green light and I can quickly run through the agreement with you
(as it’s very similar to the last one you signed) or they’ll have some
feedback for how to make this more successful for you.
It’s 2 pm right now– do you have time at 3 tomorrow? What time works for
you?

17. Shift in Selling
What happens with no contract call?
• No commitment
• Contracts out in space
• No ability to forecast deals
• Frustration over multiple attempts to get contract back!
