Manufacturing Client Struggles With Qualification
- Clara worked with a client selling to manufacturing shop owners who booked meetings but saw poor conversion to pipeline.
- They found cold calls reached owners but lacked qualification that AEs needed to convert meetings.
Ask Money Questions Tied To AE Criteria
- Use a framework of 'money questions' that map directly to the AE's qualification criteria.
- Ask about evaluation roles and decision participants before booking the meeting.
Qualification Enables Multi-Threading
- Multi-threading is now essential because more people are involved in buying decisions.
- Early qualification by SDRs kickstarts multi-threading and helps AEs later in the deal.
