In a modern recurring revenue business it is impossible to scale without treating sales as a science. In this first book of the Sales Blueprints series, Jacco Van Der Kooij and Fernando Pizarro break down the science of sales into its basic elements. Unlike any book before it, The SaaS Sales Method exposes the math the underpins each stage in revenue production, from marketing, to sales, to customer success, and infers how revenue leaders should structure their processes, organizations, and training in each.By linking all three functions, The SaaS Sales Method provides a framework for the modern revenue leader to understand and improve their entire system, shifting from what the authors call a superstar culture to a science culture in the process.While subsequent books in the series go into depth on the specifics of each revenue function and the skills needed to succeed in each, The SaaS Sales Method is the glue that holds the entire approach together.

The SaaS Sales Method Fundamentals: How to Have Customer Conversations distills how the entire organization communicates with customers down to a simple set of interactions. These interactions happen across multiple channels, from email to phone to in person meetings. What is different about how Blueprints approaches communication is that it emphasizes Impact - understanding how everything in the customer relationship affects the customer's business results. Sales professionals, whether Sales Development Representatives, Account Executives, Customer Success Managers, or Account Managers, will benefit from the important impact-oriented communications frameworks in this book.

Sales account executives today face challenges from all directions. Customers want to do their own research. Sales cycles are shorter. Contract sizes are smaller. And few companies have the time or resources to invest in ongoing sales training. This set of Blueprints provides a detailed and structured approach to succeeding as a sales account executive. With advice for both individual salespeople as well as for sales team leaders, The SaaS Sales Method for Account Executives: How to Win Customers builds on The SaaS Sales Method by focusing on the fundamental sales skills needed to help customers commit, as opposed to just closing them.

Customer Success Managers and Account Managers are the newest addition to the sales team, whether they and their organizations know it or not. Building on the ideas in The SaaS Sales Method, which discusses how fundamental sales skills must be applied by every customer-facing employee, The SaaS Sales Method for Customer Success & Account Managers: How to Grow Customers goes deep on the fundamental skills of CSMs and Account Managers. It also goes beyond, to discussing in detail how CSMs and AMs must interact with other sales teams in order to truly maintain an consistent customer experience and maximize revenues from existing customers.
