Your Prospect's Real Journey and How Their Fear Guarantees Your Success

Everybody knows that cold calling (a.k.a. ambushing strangers by phone) is an awkward business. For one thing, many prospects react to cold calls by expressing annoyance. Most reps anticipate this reaction and respond one of three ways: bluff, cower, or turn into robots. What these reps don't know is that they have it all backward. The rep is focused on their own discomfort and fear. But it's the prospect's journey that starts with fear: the universal fear of being ambushed by an invisible stranger.

It turns out that the prospect's fear is also the universal key that can unlock a journey that consistently takes a surprising course through trust and curiosity to commitment and action. Chris Beall will take us along on that journey and teach us how to unleash the emotional power inherent in a cold call to create relationships out of these encounters with strangers, manufacture precious follow-ups at pace and scale, and turn any rep into a top performer by turning fear into an asset rather than a crippling liability.

3. Finding and engaging targeted connections that you have been ignoring

Supercharge your sales process with Legal (yes, Legal)

Sales is not an individual sport, it takes a village to win each deal. Sales ops, product, customer success, finance and legal all need to pitch in to get to closed-won. Legal specifically can make the job of sales (and the experience of the customer) much easier or much harder. With the right investment and strategy, a partnership with in-house legal can be an incredible superpower for your sales team, rather than a drag on getting deals done.

At DocuSign, we reimagined how sales and legal engage on deals and supercharged our revenue growth as a result. Get a peek behind the curtain to see how we did it. Join our Enterprise sales VP, GC and Sr. Strategy Director for a fireside chat to examine:
