The Revenue Enabler

The Revenue Enabler is a B2B consulting and membership company.

Why? Because nobody gets a degree in B2B Sales!

I help B2B sales teams and individual reps increase pipeline and convert opportunities into closed won deals.

Most companies and sellers aren’t really ready to drive revenue.

They either;

1. Struggle to build qualified pipeline resulting in low pipeline coverage.
2. Poor sales execution leads to a leaky funnel and ultimately missing their revenue goal.

Most of the time, this is due to not having a common language. A proven sales playbook that sellers can pick up, follow and win with.

In my first VP Sales role, I increased revenue by 1,000% during the pandemic when many businesses struggled.

For me, it all comes back to the sales playbook. Giving sellers the dotted line for success.

The Revenue Enabler is focused on helping businesses and sellers get ready to drive revenue!

A few ways I help:

1) I work directly with reps with my Sales University and boot camps
2) I work with Sales Leaders to train their teams 
3) I work with Founders as a part time CRO or VP of Sales

Chief Revenue Officer & Founder @ Revenue Ready

SDR > AE > 2x VP of Sales turned Founder. I've spent over ten years in B2B sales as a high-performing individual contributor and then VP of Sales. 

In both leadership roles, I increased productivity, and my proudest achievement was increasing the annual recurring revenue at an HR tech start-up, StaffCircle, by 1,000%.

Now, I help reps, Sales Leaders and Founders implement and operationalise my proven sales playbook.

A few recent highlights:

- Increasing the Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) by 1,000%.
- Taking the team from 6 to 60 meetings booked a month within 45 days. 
- 0% target attainment to 100%. The lowest was 120% and the highest was 240%.
- Reduced the time to close by 64%
- Increase the average deal size and win rate significantly
- Multiple MEDDPICC implementations 

If your business needs help with building pipeline and/or converting qualified opps to revenue, let me know.

Little secret from a VP of Sales

It could save you thousands in commission in Q4

Buyers will buy without a discount

I’ve bought a load of tech/services as a VP

Some at full price and some at a huge discount. 

The reality is I’d have paid full price for everything but sellers offer discounts 🤯

Stop giving your hard earned commissions away. 

If you do, get something in return!! 

I spent £500 on this coffee machine a few days ago. 

It didn’t go up on sale so I just bought it at full price. 

Your prospects will do the same. 

Be bold. Be brave. Back yourself. 

Happy selling 🤙

Home office update 

It’s really coming together and that coffee machine 👌 

Love working down here! 

What would you add next?

Most AEs will hate this! 

If you’ve got a pipeline problem take this action…

Reps are loving our daily planners. 

You need to take your big revenue goal for the quarter and break it down into a daily plan. 

Then go execute it. 

Most AEs I start working with have a pipeline problem. 

Usually after a few minutes we quickly realise they’re not doing to ugly, hard work that’s required. 

Go implement this with a winning attitude for the next 30 days and you’ll likely fix your pipeline problem. 

If not come back to this post and tell me in full of shit. 

Go make your plan and build a fat pipeline now. 

Or go blame marketing or SDRs for not hitting your target, earning great commission and building your career.

Elijah Awoke and I spoke about AI in sales on my podcast and check this out for an idea...

Why not allocate a few hours and a portion of your L&D budget every month to your sales team to simply get curious and explore how AI can help solve a business problem?

Imagine what your team could build over 1-2 quarters. 

-Discovery prep
-Business case builder
-Battlecard builder 
-Cold call coach

The ROI would be insane. I'm already seeing it. 

In my business, with my customers and with leaders I interview on the podcast. 

Time to get curious people. 

Go check this episode out, mega value from Elijah.

Thanks again mate. Always love our chats!

"Why don't you outbound James?"

I'll tell you in 98 seconds...

I LOVED this chat with Will Scott. If you're in sales, regardless of seniority, this is a must listen!! 

https://lnkd.in/eh7dxTT6

I'm not saying you shouldn't outbound, you 1,000% should. 

All I'm saying is become known for something so some people come to you! 

Also, for my sales leadership network, the talent that comes to you is wild! 

Employer branding sits with you, not HR! 

I did a post at the weekend saying I'm thinking about hiring and within minutes I've got AEs in my DMs asking to come join my org.

Stop sleeping on this platform. 

We all have time available, we just don't prioritise the important stuff. 

If I can find time running a business with a 22 month old son so can you. 

Go get it. 

Follow Will, he is amazing and really knows his stuff! 

Thanks again. 100% need to get you back on the podcast for more of your expertise!

Stop making excuses. 

It’s so easy to say no or I’ll do it later when the hard tasks come up. 

You are your biggest competitor. 

Get out of your way and go do the hard things! 

Back to my run then root top spa 🤙

Loving Sweden!

I’ve missed Sweden!! 

Great spas and food. 

Recharging the batteries. 

Any recommendations? 

I’m in Stockholm.

There is still time to save Q4 deals 

Run this for 100% of deals

Step 1

Arrange a call with your Champion

Step 2 

Open a Google doc

Step 3 

Co-create a business case 

Why?

You need to justify your cost. 

Most of the time your Champion won’t do it like you can. 

What to write? 

Follow these sections…

Headline

CTA + COI

Problem statement 

Talk about the problem and why they can’t solve it without you

Solution

In simple terms how you solve the problem in a way an exec will understand 

Business Value

What do they get back? Which metrics improve? What happens if those metrics improve?

This can all be done on one max two pages of a Google doc. 

Leave the deck behind. 

Go enable your Champions. 

I’m off to relax then it’s time for a roof top cold plunge and late night sauna and swim in Sweden
