I have a call booked with a real prospect tomorrow. What do I do on it?
Ask questions and shut up. Gong's analysis of more than half a million calls found the sweet spot is somewhere around eleven to fourteen questions,...
How do I know if a deal is real or if I am being strung along?
Write down what you know against a qualification frame and the gaps become obvious. MEDDPICC is the common one: metrics they care about, the econom...

Understand what is happening: procurement is usually measured on the savings they extract, so they are going to ask for something no matter how fai...
