- Prospecting
- The elevator pitch
- Activities - don’t be afraid to manage them (# outbound calls, # demo’s, etc.)
- Calling best practices
- Scheduling demos
- Demo scripts
- Email templates
- Daily and weekly schedules (salesmeetings, one-on-ones, blocks in personal agenda’s)
- Team structure
- CRM - If it’s not in there, it never happened…

1. Prepare before you reach out to someone.
2. In order to have engaged selling time, always check before contacting whether your prospects wants
to be contacted via phone, email or Inmail.
3. Look back: why did your customer choose for you? Than reach out to others with that reason.
4. What is the purpose of the first sentence in an email? To read the second…!
5. Don’t forget to always act as if you’re big…! Don’t say you’re a startup.
Why buy anything?
Why buy from your company?
Why buy now?
