“The enterprise deals are won on, "This feels so close to who we are. It feels like it was built specifically for me.”

“Most people are not going to be qualified, not because necessarily you're talking to the wrong person, because if you're an enterprise executive or enterprise account executive, your job is to know who to talk to, okay?”

“Now, if they're this far along, if they're really concerned about pricing, they would've brought it up by now. So these are the little cues like, "Okay, I think I could probably push them a little bit here or go a little bit further.”

“There's usually going to be two motions, "I need the lowest cost way to do X because it's low on the totem pole and I really don't care.”

“Because now all of a sudden, this tight frame, this tight narrative you've just crafted and spent all this time with just gets thrown out the door because it's like, "Oh, well, I wouldn't use that.”

“It's fascinating because if you ask someone to describe the mid-market, actually, if you ask someone to describe the enterprise, every single person has a different answer. It's either based off of revenue, it's either based off of market cap, it's based off of employee size, and I think a lot of people can get lost because selling to a hundred person organization is a radically different game than selling to a thousand person organization and there's no hybrid approach.”

“It's not on email anymore. It is a relationship you're building with someone where if my enterprise client called me, I'm picking up that phone immediately or I'm responding them to immediately because that builds so much trust.”

“That's one out of 10, that's a 10% win rate. So if you have a really high win rate, let's say 30 or 40%, you actually don't need as high of a conversion rate on the outbound, because you know if you get someone in the funnel, the throughput is very healthy.”
