This is for the tech savvy SaaS and software sales reps who want more sales, bigger sales, more frequent sales…so that no lead gets wasted, every contact form gets a conversation, and you get a solid sales pipeline that converts!

Tech Sales is Tough!

You know you’re in a competitive space, and your prospects know that too.

• Whilst your features and benefits may be unique, you’re having to fight for attention, budget, commitment and interest with your prospect group, even though….

Your SaaS / Cloud / IT / tech product is great.

Your testimonials back it up, you’ve won awards and got investors on-side too

In fact, what you’re offering is better than great…so,

• Why aren’t people saying yes to booking a demo?
• Why do those that DO book a demo, then go AWOL straight after?
• Or fail to even show up at all?
• Why is your  ‘Closed – Lost’ pile as big as your ‘Closed – Won’ pile?
• Why is a less competitor eating your lunch most every day?
• Why are competitors getting fat off the sales opportunities you’re dropping?

All of these questions and more! Because they are valid questions, and if you could solve these, let’s face it, you’d be flying!

The good news is, we’ve heard them all before, we’ve answered them too!

And we can do the same for you…

How to Book More High-Converting SaaS Demo Calls

There are a few things that you just need to get spot on when you’re booking SaaS demos, and commonly, it’s failure to get these things right that kill the opportunity to get a signed order.

Even worse, these things happen right at the very beginning of the sales / get-to-know process with the prospect!

Which means a few things:

• They are easily fixed once you know what to do
• It’s often more about mind set and thinking, rather than lack of hard sales skills
• Putting the fixes in place will, most likely, remove a tonne of friction from the sales process for both the sales person and the prospect
• The sales pipeline and sales forecast will be MUCH cleaner
• As will your CRM
• Churn should also take a nose dive too

So, how will you know that your sales team need help?

Apart from their sales results, take a look at some of these issues that potentially could be killing your ROI, not just wasting money, making your competitors rich, but probably also indicating that your sales team is bigger than it needs to be, your sales forecasting is more guess work than in should be and your sales CRM could be called a data dump!

If  any of that rings a bell, then check these out!

How many of these are you SaaS sales team guilty of?

Not Nailing the Problem!

Not nailing the problem your tech solution fixes! This is criminal and lethal. Starting a sales pitch without total clarity on what problem you’re solving will mean the disconnect between the sales person and the prospect will be huge….in my book, it’s an opportunity burned before you get out the gate, In fact, the more time your sales person spends scoping the issue, the greater their chances of success…

Dodging the Tough Questions!

Not being prepared, brave enough or savvy enough to ask those tough questions! Without the tough questions, without the digging, then two things will happen, and neither of them will be good for the seller. Firstly, the prospect can disengage and dodge your attempt to build a meaningful set of reasons why s/he should look at your product 2, And, secondly, even if you did get the prospect on a demo, the seller would be hard pressed to get any traction because they haven’t assesses impact, the cost of doing nothing or the legacy problems…It’s not a win

The Long and Boring Road!

The seller takes the prospect on the whole harbour cruise – showcasing the ins and outs of every single feature – yawn-fest and what a waste of an opportunity to nail the deal! No-one wants to sit through the whole pitch, no prospect cares that much…they just want to know what’s in it for them. Nothing else! But, as your seller didn’t ask the tough questions – they are either forced to give a pedestrian pitch (which annoys buyers) or they just go through the same old pitch because they don’t know any better. Either way – it’s the fastest way to create bored and confused, angry and disengaged prospects….ouch!

Not Reading the Room!

Being precious about the decision maker – this one is the easiest one to fix and should be Sales 101 but sadly isn’t! Everyone wants to talk to the deciosn maker – and that’s fine…but you can have a myriad of conversations with other people within the organisation before you get to the decision maker! Conversations taht can really improve the impact and quality of exchange with the decision maker – when you finally get through to them. Yet, surprisingly, so few sales people do the background stuff, like talking to users of the current system or referrers/recommenders/influencers who will all, at some point, have a point of view on whether to sign with you or not. Stakeholder management, stakeholder engagement and building a cohort of raving fans is a must – and often missed out by sales people dialling and smiling but not really engaging with the process…

Not Building the Real Value Position

Finally, for today anyway, the seller things everything is about the price! Wow! Disaster. What about selling the value, really selling the very specific value? Selling the value across risk, guarantees, impact on the team, resource allocation, stress (!!), competitive advantage, Maybe moving into exploring the risk profile of this prospect? Understanding their reservations outside of price?

Ringing any bells?

The Complex Role of Sales People Selling Software, SaaS or Cloud Products and Services

The role of the sales person in these industries is critical and complex…nothing happens until the seller makes that conversion…and if takes a lot of work to make that cold outreach and nurture it through to an order.

As a sales person in a SaaS world the stakes are high…and skill sets requirements even higher

• They need to be technical enough to gain trust.
• Commercially savvy to spot opportunities.
• Possess the communication styles that allows them to sell their solutions in a way  prospects want to buy.
• Be sales-y enough to get the job done, but consultative enough so the prospect doesn’t ven realise they are being sold to!

Mix that in with a:

• Typically educated and savvy buyer group.
• Big focus on being budget conscious
• Competitive market space
• Oodles of information and insight available at the click of a mouse,
• Vocal users groups
• Lots of competition / substitute products and solutions
• Risk aversion / fear of making the wrong investment no matter how good the ROI looks on paper

Considering all this, it’s easy to see why some deals stall, get undercut, disappear totally or simply get swamped in ‘too much information’ and ‘decision paralysis’

As well as all of the above, here are some of the biggest challenges we’ve over come in pursuit of improving the sales results for our clients using our SaaS Software Sales Training Courses:

• Booking SaaS demos that convert!
• Super efficient, value-based sales qualification – this saves days of selling time and boosts efficiency no-end
• Getting prospects to show up to SaaS demos
• Booking sales demos that have value and impact with the prospect
• Building relevant business cases for the prospect to engage with early on in the sales cycle
• Building value based selling into highly functional (often technical) using consultative selling
• Dealing with pricing changes and challenges, issues or mental blocks in the sales team
• Building no-brianer sales pitches
• Dealing with pricing based on usage challenges
• Prospects ghosting you half way through the sales process
• Deals getting verbal sign off but falling at the final stages
• Reducing churn by selling smarter
• Building value based sales solutions to directly out sell the competition
• Engaging non-tech users in a tech based product
• Bringing together the broader buying group of influencers, users, finance, procurement and anyone else who may be involved.
• Dealing with evolving pricing models from contract plus service and maintenance to straight subscription sell, to token, pay as you go, credit based usage….mindbogglingly complicated to sell a combination of these, more so when a company is swapping from one to another
• Building a high value sales pipeline that converts with predictability and scaleability

Every single client is different.

Every single product/service is different.

Yet the problems they suffer around creating sales opportunities that close have a lot in common.
