But wait, there's even more Gong x 30MPC at our Master Class Series :)


FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

  • Use the 3x3 after your opener: “I noticed this, this, and this about you…how familiar are you with what we do?”
  • Be outrageously authentic. Example: “I would’ve been fired if I only closed deals with allocated budget.”
  • Set the expectation for three call outcomes upfront. At the end, tell them you think we’re at a 1 (which means buying this now), and ask them to validate that.
  • Use a soft close to skip a pilot. You’re either ready to move now, which gives us commercial flexibility, or need us to invest more time and resources to prove the use case.
