Description

Enterprise software sales cycles can stretch 12 to 18 months, involve a dozen stakeholders, and hinge on procurement gatekeepers you never meet. Lucas and Luna dissect how B2B SaaS companies actually navigate this gauntlet — from cold outreach to POC to legal review. Each episode centers on a specific case: how Salesforce cracked the federal government, why Snowflake's procurement process differs from Databricks', or what ZoomInfo's 'intent data' really tells sellers. Lucas brings the numbers — ACV benchmarks, win-rate distributions, contract velocity — while Luna presses on the human dynamics: how to handle a champion who leaves mid-cycle, when to walk away from an RFP, and why multi-year deals often backfire. The listener is a VP of Sales, a SaaS founder, or a revenue operations analyst tired of platitudes. No 'crush your quota' rhetoric here — just the messy, data-rich reality of enterprise procurement. How does a $50K deal actually turn into $500K seven years later? #B2BSaaS #EnterpriseSoftware #SalesCycles #Procurement #SaaSFounder #SalesOps #RevenueOperations #EnterpriseSales #SDR #AccountExecutive #DealDesk #PipelineManagement #ChampionMapping #RFPMastery #ContractNegotiation #Business #FexingoBusiness #Technology Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
