KEY TAKEAWAYS
  • The fundamentals of sales success haven't changed. Intelligence, work ethic, and coachability made sellers great in the mid-90s and still do. B2C skills like cold calling, handling objections, and persistence transfer directly into enterprise selling.
  • Recruiting is a verb. Building a great team isn't passive hiring; it takes constant, focused effort and works both ways. The best salespeople have options, so you have to sell them on the opportunity.
  • The Champion is the most important element of MEDDIC. The best reps don't just find a Champion, they develop one, getting direct about expectations and role-playing the meetings they won't be in the room for.
