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.

When it's 3am and you can't sleep, what do you do?

 

I had a choice – I could lay awake in bed, frustrated that I'm not sleeping and letting all of the thoughts racing through my mind take over, or I could treat it as an opportunity to do something.

 

On Monday, I woke up at 12:30am, my head spinning with all of the projects we're working on – building sales plans with clients, interviewing teams that want to join our program, upgrading our entire client delivery platform, training our new team member, setting up the next round of live events...

 

Obstacle or Opportunity?

 

When you have a team member that's not performing...

 

Obstacle or Opportunity?

 

When you have a logjam of deals in the pipeline that are moving...

 

Obstacle or Opportunity?

 

When the product release is behind...

 

Obstacle or Opportunity?

 

I get it – some obstacles are so big, so gnarly, that it feels impossible to find the opportunity it's offering you.

 

But it's there if you stay calm, persevere and look for what's good about your situation.

 

Whatever the obstacle you've got today, or this week, or this month, know that you've got this.
