Sell with your buyers, not to them I Writing and templates for enterprise sales teams
Selling with buyers (not to them) is my jam š¤š¼
If you're an AE or sales leader focused on enterprise sales, complex sales, or landing larger B2B sales, you'll see how to make this shift if you follow me. And, you'll find my content is different from most. You see, I don't believe sales reps close deals. Buyers do.
That's because the make-or-break moments in a complex deal happen without sales reps in the room. Buying decisions are made during internal meetings āĀ not sales meetings ā when champions pitch their own team, in their own words. So the content, frameworks, and downloads I post help you build champions, and enable them with a clear, compelling message to sell with you.
