This evening I got a message from a team mate that we just cracked a large enterprise deal . It was a gratifying culmination of a 2 year diligent effort with this particular prospect( now client).
In my line of work( technology selling) landing a major enterprise deal rarely happens overnight. It doesn’t start with a flashy pitch or a grand gesture. Instead, it begins with a WhatsApp message or an email—a concise, value-driven message highlighting one specific pain point the client is facing .
The sales team doesn’t aim to close the deal in one go. They focus on the first small step: scheduling a discovery call. That call leads to a demo, which then leads to a pilot, and a few other steps and eventually, a full-scale implementation. Each step is deliberate, building trust and demonstrating value incrementally.
Great things aren’t achieved by impulse but by a series of small, intentional actions. In sales, as in life, the key is to start small. That first email, that first call—it’s where extraordinary outcomes begin.
Big Wins always start with small steps !!
