Standardize your sales teams on a popular sale methodology (e.g., SPIN Selling, Conceptual Selling, SNAP Selling, MEDDIC, Miller Heiman, etc.), or implement one of your own custom methodologies. 2. Guide sellers through manual tasks, sales plays, or exception approval processes so they can see what steps to take next and move deals through the funnel more quickly. 3. Ensure all discount and exception requests stay compliant with company policies by implementing rules that automatically go to the right place for approvals. 4.
