Scott Ingram: You’re listening to the Daily Sales Tips podcast and I’m your host, Scott Ingram. Today’s tip comes from Carlee Montgomery. Carlee is an Account Executive at Genesys selling Customer Experience solutions to midsize and large enterprises. Here she is:
Carlee Montgomery: Before becoming an AE, I was actually a Customer Success Manager at the same company. As a CSM, I could tell when a salesperson was trying to morph a deal with an existing customer to fit their comp plan. For example, they’re really pushing multi-year or a specific license type over another, and it would really confuse me. The AEs who are upfront about what they are trying to accomplish in order to maximize their comp plans while simultaneously doing what’s right for the customer gained my respect and my cooperation. Reps who tried to hide their motivations made it clear that they were trying to work around me and not with me. I did not feel allegiance to helping them win. Now that I am an Account Executive, I make a concerted effort to be transparent with my team about how and why I am structuring a deal in a specific way, even down to how it can impact my bottom line. It goes a long way to build trust and also rallies the team behind you to help you in.
