What is the best strategy for a startup to sell to enterprises?

See Eric Bahn’s full video response.

We loved this question from Cristian because Eric Bahn used to lead enterprise sales for his startups. Eric would always try to drive the first meeting to a single conclusion:  

By buying my software, your company will:

  1. Make more money
  2. Save you more money
  3. Make AND save you more money

Ideally C. 😉

If I give you $1 and you return $3 back, $5 back, or even $10 back, it’s a no-brainer decision for me to buy your product.

Too many people overcomplicate enterprise sales. At the end of the day, if you convince someone that your software can make/save you more money, you’re going to get the sale.

And if you prove your results, you’re going to get retention which is actually where the real profitability is.
