1. Insight Why the LevelJumps’s first sales call works? Because: 1 It orients the prospect toward Level Jump's unique value (sales enablement that improves sales results) from the start of the conversation. 2 The insight is unique to Leveljump: none of its competitors look at the market in this way, paving a path for a clearly differentiated narrative. 3 The insight is clear and easy to understand for a prospect that is a good fit for Leveljump (the head of sales enablement at a company that is onboarding a lot of new reps).

Key takeaways: 1 Buying is hard 2 "Do nothing" is the most fearsome competitor you have. 3 A sales pitch is special.

Sales Pitch: Common Mistakes An Ask That's Too Complicated Buyers don't necessarily know how to evaluate and purchase solutions.

The Ask step should move the deal forward (assuming the prospect is a good fit for your solution) by giving the prospect a next step that is easy to say yes to.

Sales Pitch: Common Mistakes Proof That Doesn't Match the Prospeet's Situation In Step 6, Proof, some companies default to sharing a case study, and often use the same case study for every prospect. If your prospects are similar, this might be fine. But ideally you want your proof to connect to both the value themes you've covered and the individual prospect's situation. Wherever pou-sible, you want to have proof that matches the prospect. l'or example, if you are using a case study, it should reflect a similar industry or show a similar use ease, such as moving from the same status que solution.

Sales Pitch: Common Mistakes Weak or Undifferentiated Value Themes Your positioning is the fundamental input to the sales pitch. Weak positioning leads to a weak insight statement and will result in an ineffective story about how you are differentiated from the alternatives.

If that value is weak or not very differentiated, then the pitch will not be compelling and is unlikely to work.
