Insights For Selling To Jeff

During A Call Or A Meeting

DO's

  • Help them weigh the risks by sharing objective proof points instead of anecdotes and examples
  • Help them see both - the ‘big picture’ impact and the ROI of the investment
  • Showcase how you can impact results but also make sure that you share detailed information too

DONT's

  • Avoid inviting them for any social interactions until you have built some rapport with them
  • Avoid too much small talk, just a few formal pleasantries should be fine
  • Avoid self-deprecating references or general informality, it could decrease their trust in you
