Close November Like It’s December
Make November count. Close November like it’s December. I love the idea of putting motivational and financial incentives in place to sales executives to drive action. Why not pay reps more if they make their number in December? I don’t mean offering customers bigger discounts to sign a deal before month end.

Here is some inspiration to get you and your sales teams off to a big finish this month.
Conduct

Educate and Energize with Close Plans Refresh
Give your teams a refresh on the principles of Close Plans in their Q4 and Q1 deals. Review the Close Plans Sales Huddle in SalesHood and put your reps to work dusting off their mutually agreed upon customer success plans (aka close plans). Do all your Q4 deals have compelling events? How about close plans? Have you uncovered the complete decision making process? Has your champion signed off on the mutually agreed close plan?
