Closing Call
https://fathom.video/share/zzQYG7Sck9KJZa_zr2HYa6wYjPig_77j I thought my questions were decent, feel free for feedback Also her issue is timing, I have talked to other prospects doing branding but haven't worked with them as clients, no clue if they'll have issues with timing. I could have said "they don't" since none of them have mentioned that to me. Figure the obstacle overcome here is "That reminds me of...", but then what do I say there, I got no clients to reference. Something like: "That reminds me of another company who helps brands, and she was worried about something similar. But she was willing to make that bet, and this tried this out. She everything up and running. At first, it was an issue, but she worked through it over a week or two, fixed it, and now she's getting incredible results". I guess it can be anyone I know, as long as I don't say it's a client lol. I feel like the main thing across all these calls is my lack of pain building. I feel like I say this every single time to you and don't change it. At the same time though, I focus my time on marketing/getting more calls, I guess my main thing is not knowing if that is truly my constraint. Because I have 4 clients now, more in the pipeline, so I guess my strategy is working. But feedback on that is helpful Also I figure I need to email her a follow up that addresses that timing concern, if you have a good idea for the messaging in that email

@Tom Robinson Basic pricing: packages from $1k to $250k just depends on what they need. Anything from a few hours of consulting to a total team turnaround to complete sales team build-out and fractional sales leadership. Just depends on what they need help with
Never got enough interest
Not enough pain I'd say Maybe financially unqualified tbh He's obviously not going to show up to the next call, I guess I can press the ROI more in the future Link: https://fathom.video/share/TWsus9A1JcszBk4FMFs6Ucg7odQUrdyG

After screen-sharing the email: “This is you, right? Kevin Ethier? This is your email address?”“Just want to confirm I’m talking to the right Kevin.” This subtly: - Re-establishes control - Eliminates deniability - Makes the call legitimate If he stays noncommittal: “Kevin, I don’t want to waste your time. Are you looking to grow your business right now — or are you happy with how big it is?” Recommended Opening Discovery Question: “Tell me about the company — what’s the goal for growth over the next 6 to 12 months?” When Kevin said: “I want to double revenue.” That’s the entire sale. Now you can anchor everything to: - Current revenue - Target revenue - The GAP Talk Track: “What were revenues last year?”“So doubling means going from $2M to $4M?”“What’s your current plan to fill that $2M gap?” Prospect says: “We’re looking at Q2.” Classic deflection. Coaching Principle: If there’s no urgency → there’s no sale. Recommended Talk Track: “We’re in Q1. What’s stopping you from getting more leads in the next 30 days?”“What’s taking up all your time right now that makes this a Q2 thing?” If they genuinely don’t care about timing: “So if we could show you how to get 5–30 qualified calls in the next 30 days, you’d be open to that?” You’re collapsing fake delay. 4️⃣ Don’t Trust Their Close Rate Kevin said: “We close 50%.” You correctly called this fantasy. Coaching Principle: Never build ROI on their ego. Use industry standard instead (20%). Otherwise: - They don’t believe your ROI math - They subconsciously know it’s inflated - Your pricing anchor becomes fake This is subtle but critical. Kevin: “We hired a big company. Got zero meetings.” Most salespeople get defensive here. You reframed it. Frame: Cold email works.The vehicle works.That vendor failed. Strong Talk Track: “Kevin, you’ve been in business X years. I’m sure you’ve tried things that didn’t work. That doesn’t mean the channel doesn’t work — it just means that vendor didn’t execute.”

Don't be too hard on yourself, you executed a lot of successful tactics here, he got on the call thinking you were literally someone else 😂
Somewhat interesting
I'm removing showing the pricing so early But felt the recovery was decent, got it from her saying to send more info up to her being relatively interested and that she'd present to her boss and we'd discuss in 10 days Not really any pain building, but did find a solution which I thought was interesting (getting better results than their sdr's, ie it's more cost effective) Fathom also left the fucking call for some reason and rejoined later on https://fathom.video/share/JekLEXnMGNPm2y-wDEnG_q5zETttdB4r

Great turnaround call. She might not have stayed on the call with you if you hadn't given her some initial pricing. Sticker shock, but great job repositioning it via SDRs. Next time: focus more on drawing out the limitations of what they're currently doing in context of company goals. Get some questions in there about how much the company ideally would grow, what their current marketing channels are bringing them, if that's sufficient or if she even knows. She had a really hard time understanding the offer itself. I'd recommend you try to get in touch with someone higher up in the company. Great job maneuvering her into a better position by the end of the call.
Dq on him being too poor, or should I be able to sell it better
https://fathom.video/share/F-U6FtZPbCzs3WWWBbhCm6B8CGbuy6ax Don't think this fella is a fit really, but I want to use these to improve at sales anyway. He's too broke, but if I was better at sales I could have had him see the value Tbh though I feel like I shouldn't get into the weeds on pricing so much when I'm just qualifying, should just make a slide chart, if I get pushback I'll ask something like "I just want to know if that's even in the ballpark of what could make sense for you, and then we can talk through everything more in a bit." before progressing Thoughts on how I handled the pricing? (it was all supposed to be qualification)

I think this guy likes you and wants to work with you / buy, but he's NOT the decision maker. This one you should have dug harder / pushed for a call with the other DMs inside the company. You can and should still do that on follow up. The Compliance angle you can probably just send them all your copy up front before the campaign and get blanket approval. Doesn't have to be a blocker

Felt pretty sloppy, but got it done. I debated dq'ing this guy 3 times Not targeting big marketing agencies is so much fucking easier to close https://fathom.video/share/gtfynxgpMhZsySazRtyHpsxQqsDLogPd
