126: Holding your customer accountable through your deal cycle (Marissa Bell, Director, Enterprise Sales @ Figma)
FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS 3 ways to know you have a champion (influence & authority): always willing to hop on a call, willing to bring in their boss, and able to set meetings with cross-functional teams. In a team demo, use Slack/text for live internal communication and strategy. Ideally, establish your executive calls 1:1. You’ll avoid deal fatigue and better understand their true priorities. Use PoCs to create urgency. Start them on a trial but ask for a legitimate commitment if they want to extend their usage.
