Description

Close Complex Enterprise Deals by Selling the Problem, Not the Product Jen Allen-Knuth breaks down how to win executive deals by anchoring every conversation to a strategic objective and building urgency around cost of inaction. Prospect into the C-suite with a 4-step structure: objective → problem hypothesis → status quo → insight (not a pitch). Run discovery around objectives, obstacles, current approach, and negative consequences—then close with “Is this worth solving?” and “Is this worth solving now?” Multithread by aligning on a one-page problem statement, ghostwriting the buying group invite, surfacing deal friction early, and facilitating consensus in the room.
