If it were easy, everybody would do it.” — Tom Hanks, A League Of Their Own

Wiser words have never been spoken about the world of enterprise sales. A sacred land filled with vicious teams of risk-mitigators, treacherously long sales cycles, and the carcasses of deals long since closed-lost.

But the dream of landing those seven-to-eight figure deal sizes, trophy logos, and multi-year contracts is often too attractive to pass up.

As an enterprise seller, how can you best prepare yourself (and your team) to venture into this land of immense opportunity & broken dreams? It all starts with a solid roadmap.

What You’ll Learn:

  • The importance of multi-threading into a deal ASAP (and a step-by-step roadmap that you can copy)
  • A “back-to-the-basics” lesson on selling into security & risk mitigation teams (from an expert who has evaluated, and rejected, hundreds of deals)
  • How to play offense & proactively set a mutual action plan with your prospects & their internal teams
  • Tips & tricks to streamline your sales process for the enterprise (hint: the “security” page on your website probably sucks, if you have one at all)
  • How to shorten your sales cycle by constantly blowing momentum in your deals
