Though a longer sales cycle can be challenging, it also allows the sales rep to conduct thorough research to more fully understand the client’s business needs and buying cycle.
The better they follow their pain points, the better they can customize a solution to address them.

Starting a meaningful conversation with an enterprise prospect hinges on them understanding  what your product will do and how much it’ll help their organization in their daily work life.

Once you’ve completed a thorough discovery process, you should have a good idea of the gaps in the client’s business and their goals to fix them.

Ask an enterprise sales rep what they’re selling at the start of the enterprise sales process, and you might hear: “I don’t know yet.”
