Episode notes
Measure Win Rates by Time Cohorts
- Measure win rates by time cohorts like T0, T1, etc., to diagnose deal velocity and improve coaching opportunities.
- This helps distinguish between near-term pipeline issues and older pipeline performance per segment.
Segmenting Sellers Changes Win Dynamics
- Segmenting sellers into enterprise-only and SMB-only roles shifts win rate dynamics materially.
- Enterprise deals slow down, increasing older win rates but lowering fast-cycle rates, which balances overall win rate correctly for bigger deals.
SDR Comp Plans Drive Quality Meetings
- Redesign SDR comp plans to prioritize quality over quantity with 75% pay on initial qualified meetings and 25% on follow-ups or revenue.
- Lower meeting targets but increase qualification standards to reduce tension with AEs and raise pipeline quality.
