Let's start with the startup's sales foundation which will be

significantly easier when selling with "use cases."

Now, we all have brilliant technology.

In fact, intelligent technology isn't what people are buying.

Though it's admirable, it overtakes where we should really be at the moment.

Most startups have spent a long time building their platforms and apps. So it's hard to comprehend this scenario.

The use case is what we are selling because the use case brings value, and the prospect we're reaching also looks for value.

Let's talk about use case selling. First, a use case is not a case study.

Case studies are calculating the ROI - measuring results.

But the use case, on the other hand, is a value that,

the company offers, or it fits in the company usage model.

It depends upon which industry use cases will be implemented,

Be it FinTech, Aviation, Retail, Manufacturing... industries.

Within the specific industry, segments are being used to describe the use case,

Such as complex manufacturing or light manufacturing.

So, companies need to understand where their products fit into the market.

And to which sub-market the customer is allocated or high consumption.

More precisely, how they utilize or which customers use it.

If we look beyond what type of team uses, such as an R&D team - a business team or a finance team.

#1 Use case selling is a specific way to talk with your audience.

#2 Use cases within your company need to be categorized in a structured manner.

#3 Use case selling also translates specific segments into business profit outcomes or value to your company.

These can be pitched to the CEO, CFO, EVP, or VP.

Your competitors or market has not widely used this strategy,

it’s like selling the benefits and features where you find the actual value.

If you ask your prospects how they prefer to buy, you reply with a use case such as “do you prefer to buy a demo?”

Or “do you prefer to buy a feature base tech?”

Or “do you prefer to buy this use case?” The customer says “Yes” and shows interest in buying that use case that fits into their product and tries to learn how this use case brings value.

But, the use case has to be sold to the people who can finance or sign for it.

And buying groups will explain use cases and how they fit within your market or sub-market or, let’s say, the type of company or title of stakeholder in the company.

The use case is ground-breaking, and it’s selling #1. Once you grasp it totally, you never wish to go back!

COVID-19 brings businesses to halt
There's so much fear in tech startup founders that they have difficulty selling, which I discuss today...

Product experience is essential for tech startup founders since they engage with their products so well.

In addition, they are brilliant in dev work and app dev work.

But they don't want to address how to sell products properly.

However, I'm not exactly sure since each CEO have their mindset and fears to deal with the sales team.

Here are the five essential ways to grow your business

#1. Improving Product Experience
#2 Participate in Networking Events
#3. Leverage social media
#4. Grow your team
#5. Know Your Company True Vision

I interact with many CEOs in my connections.
They are dealing with many problems such as being incompetent, vulnerable, and lack of awareness.

However, there is a different solution because selling is all about dealing with emotional rejection and behavioral attribution.

Another problem that CEOs have is the fear of digital marketing and selling, and we all know it is not very easy.

Of course, there are many mechanics involved, and this is because of the unknown fear which CEOs don't have a strategy to understand.

And building a startup business is not easy; investing millions of dollars with a sales plan is not an option for any founder.

Especially if you're selling in the US and have much to lose.

I don't think ROI is the biggest problem. It's reputation, so how do we fix this?

It's not that hard #1 to map the customer journey, and if you build software, you can easily map a customer journey.

Workflows are a fraction of that complexity, and mapping their journey gives you a deal cycle if you have a seven-month deal cycle.

Then, you must include acquiring the leads and prospects and making it 8 or 9 months.

And gradually map the touchpoints about how they make decisions, and you will get to know details.

Accurately map how they make decisions, and that's a straight-line trajectory plot shift in the market.

Similarly, selling all the touchpoints will be harder for them.

So, therefore, you need to know whom you're dealing with competitive-wise. If they're private, it's more complicated.

Analyze and bring your best analytic thinkers and treat this exercise as if you're building a massive development project and mastering the journey.
