Startup Selling: Talking Sales with Scott Sambucci

Over the past twenty years, I’ve led three Silicon Valley startups to their first customers and revenue, and sold everything from financial data, enterprise software, and vaporware to cabinet doors, amusement park daily programs, and “would you like fries with that…?” My customers have included the largest financial institutions in the world, top US Universities, cabinet door makers and people that eat at Applebees and go to amusement parks... I’ve learned a lot, and made a few, ahem, well… a lot, of mistakes. Here in The Sales Podcast with Scott Sambucci, I share the lessons learned from my past two decades of selling. In each episode, I discuss a specific topic in selling and sales strategy like how to find new prospective customers, how to manage leads, how to run an effective sales meeting, uncovering customer needs, and developing pricing strategies. Episodes are a mix of guest interviews, observations from the field, and sales techniques that I’m using every single day. And people that care about such things, I’ve written two books, been a TEDx Speaker, been featured on CNBC, The Financial Times and NPR. Oh… I’m also a husband, a dad, and a three-time Ironman triathlete. Build your sales process so that you can have the company you imagine. The Sales Podcast with Scott Sambucci will help you get there.

CONSISTENCY is a principle that's made the biggest difference in my ultra-running training and my work. 

 

Consistency means putting in the work. Every. Day. No matter what.

 

(BTW... If you want a hand with this, send an email to scottsambucci@salesqualia.com with the word  *CONSISTENCY*  and I'll share how I can help.)

 

On the trail, I have a mantra – "Relentless Forward Progress."

 

You might think this only applies to starting up the next 2000' climb, or coercing yourself to the next aid station 12 miles away at 3:30am.

 

But Relentless Forward Progress is most important when it comes to the CONSISTENCY of effort of EVERY DAY.

 

It's about doing the work that needs to be done, before there's urgency. Before the next action becomes critical.

 

Consistency is doing your 20 outreaches every day to fill your #sales funnel.

 

Consistency is keeping your daily stand-ups & team meetings, even when they're not convenient. Consistency is doing quarterly performance reviews so that your team knows exactly where they're doing well and how they can improve.

 

Consistency is investing the time every week to learn even if that means telling a prospect that Thursday is already booked. (Don't worry – you can have the meeting on Friday. They'll be fine with it...)
