The MIT Startup Exchange is looking for 3-4 MIT startups to present and exhibit at the MIT ILP one-day Taiwan symposium (Taipei, Taiwan; Wednesday July 17, 2019). Each selected startup will present a short lightning talk on a technology-based product they are bringing to market, including at least one compelling use case. All presenting startups are expected to exhibit as well.
This session will discuss how to increase the speed of your sales by improving your qualification process. This workshop will help you deepen your understanding of the qualities that determine the likelihood of a prospect or potential partner to commit. We will talk about how to decide who is qualified to buy from you and how to quickly qualify prospective customers and partners. Tricky issues like budget and decision-making authority will be addressed.
Understanding and refining your marketing and sales funnels are an ongoing part of building a successful business. In many ways the job of an early stage start-up is to identify and structure a funnel that works. This session will be a practical workshop to help you better understand how sales funnels work. The emphasis will be on using funnels to build better sales processes and allocate your time more effectively.
