Sales ain't gettin' any easier. There's no way around it, you need senior involvement in order to move deals right now.

‍

Here are three ways you can shift your multi-threading approach to win more deals:

‍

❌ “Who would feel left out if they weren’t on the next call?”

‍

✅ “I’d recommend we get Adam on the next call because…”

‍

Your goal in sales is to be a trusted advisor. Don’t ask who should be involved in the buying process.

‍

Make recommendations and provide guidance based on how your best clients get world-class outcomes from your solution.

‍

___

‍

‍
❌ “Sounds good, let me know how the conversations go."

‍

✅ “Does your VP, Katie, know we’re having this conversation?”

‍

DO NOT assume your point of contact is socializing your conversations with the rest of the buying group. Or that they’re doing a very good job!

‍

“I’ll talk to my boss”
“I’ll bring this to the powers that be”
“I’ll socialize this and get back to you”

‍

None of those are acceptable answers. Ask your POC to invite the stakeholder to your next call. The reason? To align the project with the senior stakeholder's long-term vision.

‍

“Our clients like __________ have found that involving their VP of Sales at this stage helps make sure this project aligns with the long-term vision of the sales org. Katie will likely want to know how this project fits into the 2025 plan.”

‍

___

‍

❌ “You’re right, enablement might be a blocker. Let’s wait to involve them.”

‍

✅ “Let’s get enablement involved now and find out what priorities of theirs we can align this project with.”

‍

Don’t avoid blockers. Proactively seek out skeptical stakeholders early. If you win them over, they’ll have a lot of influence over the rest of the buying group.

Implement these tactics to multi-thread more effectively so deals don't stall.
