What can I do to help you be more successful? »Build relationship… when you call, its not a sales call, its a check in »Feel their pain… Every time I call you, youre up to your eyeballs in alligators! or Youre like a smoke jumper pushed out of then plane, parachuting down into a raging inferno. »Stroke their ego… Build your Champion… This isnt your first rodeo or Wow, youve a lot on your plate.

7 Embarcadero Technologies Confidential (INTERNAL USE ONLY)1/3/20147 Demonstrate the value Tool box, tool box, tool box Focus on the specific tools (and their list value) that solve their needs, dont muddy the water Perpetual licenses, your company owns all these tools in the tool box – they can re-provision it to someone else down the road In ETSM make a quote for just three or four tools within the All-Access that theyre looking at, price comparison is impressive Mention InstantOn and architecture… expand only if they are geeked up on it Solution, solution, solution…
