A post on Linkedin with the following content in a screenshot. I proposed to my girlfriend this weekend. 💍 Here's what it taught me about B2B sales: Like a well-run sales cycle, key milestones must be met throughout the relationship to ensure a Closed Won status at the end. 1.🕵️ Prospecting: Not every prospect or partner will be the right fit. Identifying the right fit takes time. You can't be afraid to say "No" to find the person you know will value your offer most. 2.💡Discovery: Doing deep discovery is critical. Getting happy ears after a positive first date is easy, but you must continue to dig to understand the long-term fit. Understanding and calculating ROI is crucial in this early stage. 3. 📺 Demo: If you're confident there is a strong fit, showing your product to potential buyers is essential. Don't simply speak to the features or functionality; explain the results the other person can expect. Ideally, include a trial so they can try the product and get a feel for it. 4. 💰Pricing: After demoing and, ideally, getting their hands on the product, your prospect is ready to buy. This is where the crucial step of pricing comes in. Know your worth, and don't discount to close the sale. Keep your integrity and present pricing firmly. 5. 🤝 Negotiations: There will be concessions. One party may want something the other party isn't willing to give up. Know what you care about most, and work hard to get it

A six-panel comic strip showing a scene with two characters - an elderly person in pink and a child in yellow - dealing with a cat stuck in a tree. Panel 1: The elderly person notices a cat (named Kitty) meowing at the top of a tall tree, saying "Kitty is stuck in there!" Panel 2: They ask the child, "Do you think you can climb all the way up there?!" The child responds "No need." Panel 3: The child retrieves the cat and hands it to the elderly person, who says "Kitty! Thanks Invincible!" Panel 4: The elderly person looks confused as they hear more meowing from the tree, holding the first cat. Panel 5: They realize "Wait... there's two..." while looking up at the tree. Another voice responds "Yes, but no. It's just a bit out of sync. Check again." Panel 6: The elderly person appears bewildered, saying "Well, I'll be! You're right!" as they hold the cat and the child walks away. The humor comes from the revelation that there was only one cat all along, with the meowing being slightly delayed or echoing.
