Your best rep can have the better product and still lose a 300K deal, not on price, but because nobody got the buying committee aligned on what they were doing. On this episode of Complex Sales: Decoded, Meredith Chandler sits down with Gal Deitsch, ... more

Most reps build the deal around the people they can see. The champion, the user, the manager who sits in on the calls. The stakeholders who actually decide whether you close, the CFO, the controller, the procurement lead, often sit in the background ... more

Enterprise sales often stalls on the same two obstacles: a buyer who isn't ready to move yet, and a rep who doesn't know how to handle that gracefully. This episode of Complex Sales: Decoded digs into both. Meredith Chandler sits down with Valerie Av... more

Most sales training looks good in a workshop. Then a rep gets on a live call, feels the pressure, and goes straight to features. It's not a methodology problem. It's a neurological one.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why Your Mutual Action Plan Isn't Actually Mutual (with Gal Deitsch) | Ep. 14
Q: What moment made you realize there was a gap you needed to fix in enterprise selling?
Gal recalls a top rep losing a 300K deal because the team struggled to align a large, multi-stakeholder buying group; this highlighted the need for managerial-operational skills and a tool to depict those capabilities, which inspired the creation of Align.
Timing Objections and Selling Into a Buyer's Fiscal Calendar (with Valerie Avila from Justworks) | Ep. 11
Q: What's one thing sales leaders could implement this week to help their team sell more effectively into educated buyers?
Invest in just-in-time learning tools and enable reps with live, context-relevant content and coaching. Implement a system like Spekit to provide on-demand knowledge, link enablement materials within the tools reps already use, and prepare teams with live prompts or suggested questions to navigate complex conversations.
How to Sell With Procurement, Not Against Them (with Michael Shields) | Ep. 6
Q: What's something that sales reps get consistently wrong about you?
There isn't a single 'type' of procurement; assuming all procurement is the same leads to poorer outcomes, and there are both difficult 'monsters' and highly capable procurement professionals who value long-term relationships.
Pressure-Testing the Yes Before It Turns Into a No (with Juan Arcila from Wisetack) | Ep. 10
Q: How do you train reps to handle both the value-selling and the lender-gap challenges?
Train reps to present a strong value proposition upfront, then diagnose gaps with incumbents' lenders and use precise feature advantages to demonstrate how Wisetack resolves those gaps, including showing faster pay-outs and the competitive landscape.
Pressure-Testing the Yes Before It Turns Into a No (with Juan Arcila from Wisetack) | Ep. 10
Q: Where does the Wisetack sales process typically slow down after the initial sign-up?
It slows down once merchants start using Wisetack to offer financing, during the first activation and the subsequent cash-flow realization, because adoption and navigation of the platform by end users take time and there may be resistance to changing from legacy providers.
