People hold them, read the room and press send. ## What is changing, in two directions 1. **Agents coming in.** A buyer's agent wants what a decision needs (price, terms, security, fit) now, and helps build the case inside the buyer's company. 2. **Your work moving to agents.** Agents research each account and draft every follow-up on time, so every deal gets the attention your top ten get. ## The problems we see Each one with what you keep, and the questions buyers ask on the way to fixing it, answered. ### Follow-ups slip. Your work moving to agents. What you keep: The rep's conversation and judgement. - **Our reps are good on calls. Why do deals still go quiet?** The work between calls is research and writing, and it competes with the next call. The note that should go today goes next week. - **What can agents take off a rep's plate without touching the relationship?** The looking up and the first draft: who is on the account, what was said, what was promised, the next note. The rep edits, decides and sends. - **My reps will not use another tool. Does this need one?** No. The drafts appear in the CRM and the inbox they already use. ### 'Contact sales' is where an agent stops. Agents coming in. What you keep: The sales conversation. It still happens. - **Serious buyers always call us. Why change?** The call still happens. Before it, the buyer's assistant collects price, terms and fit from each supplier. Where it finds only 'contact sales', it has nothing to report. - **Which answers should be there without a call?** The ones every buyer needs before they will talk: a price range, what is included, how long it takes, who it suits, security and terms. Anything specific to the account stays for the conversation. - **Does that take away our chance to sell?** It makes the first call better. The buyer arrives knowing the basics and ready to talk about their own case. ### We lose deals to no decision. Agents coming in. What you keep: Your champion inside the account. - **We did not lose to a competitor. We lost to nothing. Why?** Many deals stall inside the buyer's company, where your contact has to convince people you never met. - **How do we help someone sell us when we are not in the room?** Give them the case in a form they can forward: one page, the numbers, the risks answered. Their colleagues will read it, and so will the assistants those colleagues use. - **What does that look like from you?** After a first call you get one page from me: the price, the dates and what you keep either way. It is written to be passed on. ### Only our top ten accounts get real attention. Your work moving to agents. What you keep: The choice of which accounts deserve a person's time. - **We run account plays for a handful of accounts. What about the rest?** The rest get a sequence. The research that makes a note worth reading used to cost too much to do for everyone. - **Can every account get that research?** The research can. Agents read what is public about each account and prepare the note. Your team still chooses where a person spends an hour. - **Does this mean more automated email?** It means fewer notes and better ones. Each is read and sent by a person. ### The forecast is what reps feel. Your work moving to agents. What you keep: The sales leader's call on the number. - **Why is our forecast wrong every quarter?** It is built from what each rep believes about each deal. The CRM records that optimism faithfully. - **What would a forecast built on evidence use?** What the buyer did: replied, brought in a colleague, asked for terms, went quiet. Agents keep that record current on every deal. The leader still makes the call. - **Is this a new system?** It is your CRM with cleaner data and one more view. ## What is in Close - Nurture sequences - Account-based plays - Follow-up that happens - Deal progression Each area can be bought three ways: we set it up once, we run it for you every month, or agents keep watch and each month you hear what changed and what to do next. Most start with [the two-week assessment](https://closedwonlabs.com/assessment/). ## The free check for Close You mark which of the questions a buyer asks before deciding could be answered from what you publish. You see the answers that are missing, and where your follow-up slips. It is being built. Until it is ready, send me a line about Close and I will answer it myself. - [Ask about Close](mailto:hello@closedwonlabs.com?subject=Closed%20Won%20Labs%3A%20Close) Next area: [Prove](https://closedwonlabs.com/prove/) · [All six areas](https://closedwonlabs.com/#areas)
