Ok, my take away: if I ever want to merge my team with another team, I'll avoid "but that team is better than us"
(not that I'll ever be in that situation in the foreseeable future anyway)

- gumby 5y agoThat’s not the takeaway. One of the classic rules of selling is “shut up and leave as soon as you have the order.” It’s not just literal sales call. If your meeting is to get the signed contract, run out the door once it’s in your hand. Don’t push for the P.O. in that moment. If you have a call with a prospect to set up a meeting, you’ve got that scheduled hang up and prepare for the in person meeting. Etc etc.
