    Co-Founder and CEO @ Nayak.ai | Techstars '23

    Cold calling is an art, and with Nayak.ai (Techstars '23) new feature set, it's also a science. Recently, we piloted this new feature with Claratti, and now we’re ready to go public—and I’m excited to dive back into cold calling myself. Cold calling has always been one of my strengths. As an SDR, I consistently led in meetings booked and pipeline generated. When our Sales Enablement Director, Corey Sommers, developed a sales playbook, my cold calling strategies and tactics were heavily featured. Here are my top three priorities for cold calls: 1. Build a relationship 2. Keep the prospect talking 3. Gather information to drive the sale forward I start each call with, “Hey X, how have you been lately?” This opener presupposes a relationship, which helps the prospect lower their guards and opens doors for deeper connections. (Sidenote: I believe the specific opener doesn’t matter as long as you find one that works for you.) A recent call with Sean, the CEO of a midsize MSP, highlighted this approach. He mentioned he was having a surprisingly patient day, which gave me an opening to build a connection. My pitch: “Nayak provides real-time coaching for MSP salespeople, guiding them on calls to improve performance,” resonated with him because it was clear and audience-specific. And then I asked him a question to begin uncovering pain: “What’s the biggest challenge you’re facing on the sales side today?” . When Sean asked about my background, I showed personality rather than sticking to a script. My response included a brief, engaging story (with some self-deprecating humor) about my diverse experiences, making the conversation memorable. Here's how I answered: “I studied English in college, and I’m almost fluent now. I recently moved on from picture books to chapter books. And then, after that, I did some research in a physics lab in Switzerland and taught math at a boarding school in England. After that, I worked in sales for a couple of years, and I experienced this problem personally, so that’s what inspired me to start the company.” Throughout the call, I stayed flexible, focusing on Sean's pain points while steering the conversation towards a demo. When Sean expressed interest in discussing Nayak with his CRO, I suggested a demo first: “How about a 15-20 minute demo next week so you can see it and discuss it more concretely with your CRO?” Nayak’s AI platform supports sales reps by highlighting key points to cover during calls without being a rigid script. It's meant to give you the backbones of a conversation that you fill in yourself with your personality to build a relationship. Remember, successful cold calls are about connecting on a human level first. Prioritize relationships over transactions, and the sales will follow. Happy cold calling! May your conversations be authentic and impactful!

  • To stand out, MSPs must evolve from reactive service providers to trusted advisors who understand their clients' needs. This requires mastering the psychology behind buyer decisions and leveraging science-backed techniques to influence behavior effectively. Key Insights on Buyer Psychology Cognitive Patterns: Nobel laureate Daniel Kahneman’s Prospect Theory shows buyers use mental shortcuts. Frame information to appeal to these patterns, like using percentages instead of absolute numbers. Emotional Influence: Emotions significantly influence decision-making. Evoke positive emotions like relief from stress or optimism about growth to make prospects more receptive. Social Proof: Buyers rely on peer experiences. Use testimonials, strong branding, and community engagement to build social validation. Consistency Bias: Buyers prefer familiar experiences. Show similarities between past vendor relationships and current offerings to increase comfort. Mental Models: Tailor your messaging to align with the buyer's perspectives to reduce cognitive dissonance. Mapping the MSP Buyer’s Journey Understanding buyer personas is critical for targeted engagement: Operational Buyers (IT Managers, CTOs): Focus on system reliability, efficiency, and cost optimization. Demonstrate understanding of daily challenges and quantify efficiency gains. Strategic Buyers (CIOs, Chief Digital Officers): Highlight business alignment and technology innovation. Correlate KPIs with business growth. Compliance Buyers (CISOs, Risk Officers): Emphasize regulations, data security, and risk mitigation. Provide audit-ready documentation and quantify risk reduction benefits. Stages of the MSP Buying Cycle Problem Recognition: Uncover the true scale of issues and connect challenges to business metrics. Information Gathering: Offer robust content on capabilities and arrange peer roundtables for sharing insights. Exploration and Trial: Provide personalized demos and free trials to build confidence and highlight ease of integration. Selection: Share detailed ROI projections, TCO comparisons, and a clear implementation roadmap. Leverage Conversation Intelligence: Tools like Nayak’s conversation intelligence platform can enhance sales productivity by: -Offering smart recommendations based on talk track analysis. Providing conversation analytics to refine targeting and positioning. -Optimizing talk tracks with effective messaging patterns. -Predicting objections and offering counter messaging. -Automatically logging key details in CRM records. https://lnkd.in/dmXxV-J7 #MSPSales #BuyerPsychology #SalesStrategies #CustomerEngagement #LeadGeneration #AccountManagement

  • Nayak CEO David Frankle interviewed Doug Childress at the recent Kaseya conference in Las Vegas. Doug is the CEO of Claratti, and he was generous enough to share his wealth of experience and reveal the biggest changes he's witnessed in the MSP industry when it comes to sales and growth. 🔍 Key Takeaways: -Most MSPs are technically-led and grow organically, focusing on serving clients and building trust. -However, as they reach a certain size, MSPs often hit a growth ceiling due to limited resources for back-office tasks like invoicing and billing. -A staggering 80% of surveyed MSPs are looking to sell because they can't overcome this hurdle. 🚀 The Solution: Outsourcing Back-Office Services Doug emphasizes that MSPs can break through this growth barrier without hiring more people or investing in new technology. By outsourcing back-end services to a trusted partner like Claratti, MSPs can: ✅ Access a wealth of additional resources ✅ Absorb the minimal fee into their costs ✅ Focus on scaling their business to the next level Discover how Claratti is helping MSPs worldwide achieve unstoppable growth by providing the back-office support they need to thrive. #MSPGrowth #Outsourcing #BusinessScaling #TechnologyAsAService #Claratti #MSP #Kaseya365 #KaseyaConnect #KaseyaConnect2024 #AIConversationalIntelligence
