Sales teams and revenue leaders looking to boost their pipeline growth often face the challenge of relying on the same old outbound methods. Ryan Milligan, VP of Sales and Revenue Operations at QuotaPath reveals his go-to strategy: tapping into warm channels by reconnecting with familiar contacts—think former admins, trial signups, and closed-lost opportunities.

3-step framework to nailing your demos. 1. Frame the broader problem Ex) Most sales leaders I work with are really struggling to understand where the risk in their pipeline is 2. Frame their problem Ex) You just told me you are 100% reliant on your CRM to try and sus out risk in deals 3. Tell a story of how your solution can solve this (don't feature dump, make it punchy) Ex) Now with XYZ you will know exactly what is happening in every single one of your deals. Tonight at 5:00 PST we are hosting a session on nailing your demos! Shoot us a message if you are interested in joining.

For Andrew Gray, Head of Revenue Enablement at Sanity, Relationship Map is a key tool to help his sellers multi-thread and close deals. Here’s how one of his sellers recently closed a deal using Relationship Map. ⤵ “One of our reps in EMEA had built his Relationship Map in Sales Navigator, screenshot it and put it on a deal review. He was able to see where he was lacking relationships, what he was missing to be multi-threaded, where he needed more exposure – everything that’s key for relationship mapping,” said Gray. What surprised Andrew about the Relationship Map was that his seller was able to build it directly within Sales Navigator. “Normally our sellers build out some sort of relationship map inside of Excel, a Miro Board, Google Drawings, or some other application. But the fact that he was able to do this inside of Sales Navigator made me think this should be our new standard moving forward.” After using Relationship Map, the seller focused his efforts on the missing key relationships that could help him close the deal. He then used LinkedIn to get an introduction to a key contact who was a champion for moving that deal forward. And best of all, that seller closed the deal a few months later. “Would he have won the deal without the Relationship Map? Maybe.” Gray reflected. “But do I know for a fact that he sat and looked at his Relationship Map, and used it to map out a strategy that ultimately won him that deal? 100%.” Learn more about Relationship Map here: https://lnkd.in/RelationshipMap #SalesNavigator #sales #B2Bsales

What separates top-performing SDR teams from the rest? It’s not the tools or the leads—they’re available to everyone. The key difference lies in the approach and mindset. Here’s a framework we’ve seen consistently transform SDR teams into pipeline-building machines:- ➡️Relentless Curiosity: High-performing teams don’t settle for surface-level questions. They dig deep to uncover real pain points. Instead of asking “What’s your biggest challenge?” they dive into specifics, such as, “How are you managing the growing complexity of your tech stack?” This curiosity leads to uncovering needs the prospect didn’t realize they had. ➡️Follow-up Mastery: Successful SDR teams understand that follow-up isn’t about persistence alone—it’s about adding value. Whether through sharing case studies or industry insights, each follow-up brings something new to the conversation, keeping the dialogue moving forward with purpose. ➡️Strategic Personalization: Personalization goes beyond surface details. It’s about aligning messaging with the prospect’s business priorities. Quick research—whether through LinkedIn or their latest blog post—helps tailor outreach to what really matters to their goals. ➡️Effective Time Management: Top-performing teams treat time as their most valuable asset. By batching tasks, reducing distractions, and automating admin work through tools like Salesforce, Outreach, or HubSpot, they maximize their time where it matters most—engaging prospects. ➡️Resilience to Rejection: Rejection is part of the game. Strong teams don’t take it personally. Instead, they analyze each no for learning points, adjust their approach, and continue with renewed confidence. ➡️Consistent Pipeline Building: It’s not just about short-term wins. Our most successful teams consistently build and nurture their pipeline, ensuring long-term growth by keeping quality leads in motion. ➡️Leveraging AI in Sales: AI tools help teams work smarter, not harder. Platforms like Gong or Chorus analyze calls for actionable insights, while AI-driven lead scoring tools like ZoomInfo or Clearbit help prioritize outreach efforts effectively. ➡️Collaboration with AEs: SDR teams that work in sync with AEs see better results. They coordinate closely to ensure smooth handoffs, constantly refining the process to drive conversions. What’s one follow-up strategy that your team uses to move the needle? #SDRExcellence #PipelineMastery #TechSales
