The One Question That Reveals Everything [4]

Show notes

🎙️ Live webinar May 21: Tim & Jan on building a PreSales team that drives revenue — not just demos. serockstars.com/webinar

When your SE can tell you everything about the demo but nothing about why the customer will actually write a check, you have a qualification gap. Ava shares the one question that changes everything.

What Nate and Ava discuss

• Why deal updates tell you what happened — but not whether the deal is real
• How "why will they spend money with us?" forces SEs to think about pain, urgency, and budget
• The ripple effect: go deep on one deal, and SEs start preparing better for all of them

The move

Next 1:1, skip the pipeline tour. Pick one deal — the riskiest or most strategic. Open with: "Why is this customer going to spend money with us?" Follow the thread: pain chain, economic buyer, biggest risk. Go deep on one instead of shallow on eight.
