The Sales Evangelist

David Hammer, Donald Kelly, The Sales Evangelist Podcast What if you could reduce the time it takes for you to close deals into half? And what if there was a way for you to better understand a particular organization so you could increase your chances of closing deals?

Our guest today is David Hammer. He shares with us great insights into what you can do to help reduce the amount of time it takes to close your deals. As a former Google executive, David has an impressive background in the tech space and he is now the CEO and Founder of Emissary. This platform connects salespeople with experts called “emissaries” who share their first-hand insights into major corporations they’ve worked for previously. It almost works like a dating app.

Here are the highlights of my conversation with David:

David’s coolest sales experience when he was the customer.

What makes Emissary unique:

  • It provides immediate gratification where they instantly connect you with your target corporation
  • It helps you understand what’s going on “behind the scenes”

How it works:

  1. Emissary syncs their platform to your pipeline so they would understand the deals you pursue in.
  2. It works like a dating app where you will be matched with an emissary and you can choose to be coached through the deal so you can have a deeper understanding of the clients you’re selling to and know how to get started.
  3. Emissary asks you to map out your sales process in order to identify 3-5 high leverage points throughout the process.
  4. They make sure the emissaries are prepped and aligned to be able to deliver consistently.
  5. The more you use Emissary, the more AHA! moments you’re going to have.
  6. Emissary doesn’t work with clients on a single deal but across a set of deals.
