🦾 The Only Sales Script That's Working This December

Stop Following Up, Start Closing: December's High-Stakes Playbook

Hey Insider, three weeks ago, I watched my top deal go dark after six "check-in" emails. Yesterday, I closed it using a completely different approach. The transformation wasn't about timing or luck – it was about changing one specific element in my follow-up strategy.

"Stop following up. Start leading forward."

The Pipeline Revival System

Replace These Dead Lines:

  • "Just checking in..."

  • "Wanted to follow up..."

  • "Circling back..."

  • "Hoping to connect..."

  • "Any updates on your end?"

Use These Value-Driven Openers:

  • "Since our last conversation, [Competitor] announced..."

  • "We just released data showing [Industry Impact]..."

  • "One of your peers at [Similar Company] discovered..."

  • "Based on your interest in [Specific Feature], I thought..."

  • "After analyzing your [Pain Point], I found...

The Three-Touch Value Sequence

  • First Touch: New Insight

    • Share relevant industry data

    • Connect to their specific situation

    • Offer clear next step

  • Second Touch: Peer Success

    • Similar company win story

    • Specific metrics achieved

    • Direct application to prospect

  • Third Touch: Action Plan

    • Custom implementation timeline

    • Resource requirements

    • ROI calculator

"Value isn't sent. It's delivered."

Scripts That Actually Convert

For Stalled Technical Evaluations:

"After reviewing your current [System], I identified three integration points that could [Specific Benefit]. Would you like me to walk through them?"

For Budget Discussions:

"I noticed you mentioned [Pain Point Cost]. I've prepared an ROI analysis showing how we can reduce that by [X%] before Q2. Should I share the breakdown?"

For Committee Decisions:

"Based on your team's concerns about [Issue], I've created a stakeholder-specific impact summary. Which decision-maker should I prioritize?"

"Success is not a sprint. It's not even a marathon. It's a lifestyle."
