#593 - EXACTLY How to Build an Unstoppable Sales Team in 60 days
Summary
Armand details his first 60 days as VP of Sales at 30MPC, where he fixed low revenue by defining a strict Ideal Customer Profile and closing all non-qualifying deals. He implemented a "three-headed hydra" multi-threading strategy and a "Recap and Roll" discovery method to build consensus efficiently. By raising minimum deal sizes and aligning demos with specific discovery findings, the team shifted from volume to high-value, predictable sales cycles.
