NOTE

Creating Urgency as a Sales Leader

I don't really buy into discounting or relationship selling personally. To me, that's a sort of cheapening the value that this company is going to get from their investment in your product. It's less about artificially accelerating the timeline and more about helping a customer realize how long it's going to take them to realize value from their investment. That's how you help accelerate urgency in terms of the timeline.
