Andrew Barbuto has grown his book of business by 5,000% over 6 years from $2M to $100M

Here are a few (of many) keys to his success:

β
β Pre-seed next steps
β
We're all taught to secure next steps. That's table stakes for any seller.
β
Here are a few more advanced techniques:
β
- Schedule a 1:1 before the demo
- Schedule a 1:1 after the demo to debrief
β
Schedule both of those calls DURING the intro call where you schedule the actual demo.
β
Pre-schedule the follow-ups.
β
β Relentless account prioritization
β
Treat your pipeline more like a martini glass.
β
Go narrow and deep. Pick accounts to go all in on. Ignore the rest.
β
A 7, 8, 9-figure book of business is NOT built through spray and pray.
β
Reverse-engineer every trait from your best deals and use that to prioritize your existing accounts.
β
β Transfer ownership to the buyer
β
This one's clutch. Every world-class seller knows how to get the buyer to OWN the problem and solution.
β
Here are a few ways you can do this:
β
- Use the customer's branding on presentations
- Work 1:1 with your champion to prep for demos
- Have your champion kickoff calls ("Hey Dave, would you like to kick this off and share why you thought the call today was important for everyone to attend?")
- Build the business case with your champion, encourage them to edit
β
They need to feel internal ownership of the solution
