Aligned

A few months ago I had a buyer who was genuinely excited about the solution. Then he saw the price. The energy shifted. We ended the call with him saying he didn't want to make that kind of investment with another active project. Agreed to revisit in two months. Sent the follow up. Moved on. But I couldn't stop thinking about it. He had a perfect use case. The problem was costing him time and money every single day he didn't solve it. So I started drafting an email offering to get him started with fewer users - less commitment, lower entry point. *Right* before I did, I got a notification. He was in my Aligned sales room. Clicking around. I waited. An hour later he emailed me... ready to move forward. We hopped on a call and closed it that day. I was *this* close to discounting a deal that didn't need a discount. Modern sellers have an advantage: Visibility into what buyers are doing behind closed doors. We used to have to assume silence meant disinterest. When a buyer goes quiet, it doesn't always mean they've moved on. Sometimes they're still evaluating. Building the case internally. Coming back around on their own. Check your data before you assume the deal is dead. The buyer's behavior will often tell you more than their words did. p.s. Aligned just announced their Series B! 🎉 And this is exactly why, try it out: https://lnkd.in/em3_AmBK #AlignedPartner

There is one notification that, when I see it, I know with certainty my buyer is interested in working with Offsite. I've been working a six figure deal since February. It's been slow, and some of my team members have encouraged me to close it. "They aren't buyers." But I knew they were interested because: They spent 30+ minutes reading multiple case studies. They watched all my videos. The spent 45 minutes reviewing sales materials and our mutual action plan. And even though communications were slow, I was getting my favorite notification multiple times per week: “_____ just entered your Aligned room” Multiple members of the buying committee have logged into the room. Including two people I didn't even know existed. If a buyer never opens my Aligned Room after a disco call I tell my team to DQ the deal. That's how much I trust the signal. The deal room isn't a nice-to-have. It's where our deals LIVE. If you're still managing six figure opportunities out of your inbox, you ned to try this. Trust me, this will change the way you sell: https://lnkd.in/g2dBHe78 #AlignedPartner

534 applications. 212 connection requests. 6 emails. 2 calls. This is what most job seekers are actually up against right now. With the amount of layoffs out there, these numbers are probably even worse now... Hiring managers are B-U-R-I-E-D!!! Recruiters completely overwhelmed... A 20 second scan of your CV is the best most of you'll get before a decision gets made about you. In that environment the candidates who stand out aren't necessarily more qualified, they just are easier to pay attention to. After 5 years in one role there was too much I wanted to say for just 20 seconds worth of their time... So as I wanted a sales position, I'd treat my search like a live deal vs another application. Built my digital sales/CV room in Aligned One link, infinite space, instead of competing with 500+ identical CVs... Here's what's in my room: 1) Quick overview: intro, 1-min video, availabilities 2) Portofolio: segments, territory, avg deal size/sales cycle, targets etc. 3) Testimonials: from colleagues, managers, clients sold to 4) Win story: as detailed as it can get 5) Awards (optional) Every role I applied for moved to the last round Multiple interviews with big name companies in one single week. You win your search by being the easiest person to actually pay attention to Build yours here: https://lnkd.in/dgDKhMwm Find mine in the comments, it has 55+ hours of watch time ! #AlignedPartner
