Sales & Revenue Operations

销售与收入运营

Full-stack sales playbook: founder-led sales, team building, enterprise deals, RevOps, ICP definition, buyer personas, and compensation design.

全栈销售手册:创始人主导销售、团队搭建、企业客户交易、RevOps、ICP定义、买家角色画像及薪酬设计。

Quick Start

快速入门

  1. Assess stage — Founder-led, first reps, or scaling?
  2. Define motion — Inbound, outbound, PLG, or hybrid?
  3. Build ICP — Who are you selling to?
  4. Design process — Discovery → Demo → Close
  5. Instrument RevOps — Lead lifecycle, scoring, routing

  1. 评估阶段 — 创始人主导、首批销售代表,还是规模化扩张?
  2. 确定销售模式 — inbound(获客)、outbound(主动出击)、PLG(产品主导型增长),还是混合模式?
  3. 构建ICP — 你的目标客户是谁?
  4. 设计销售流程 — 需求探索 → 产品演示 → 交易关闭
  5. 部署RevOps — 线索生命周期、线索评分、线索分配

The 50-Company Test

50家企业测试法

List 50 specific companies that fit. Find the buyer's name at 20 of them. Reach out to 10. If you can't do this, your ICP isn't specific enough.
For full persona canvases, buying center maps, interview questions, and fit scoring: see
references/full-guide.md

列出50家符合标准的具体企业。找到其中20家企业的买家姓名。联系其中10家。如果无法完成,说明你的ICP不够明确。

Founder-Led Sales

创始人主导销售

Core principles:
  • The founder IS the product — your credibility closes deals early competitors can't
  • Your biggest competitor is indecision (40-60% of B2B purchases end in no decision)
  • Sell before you build — Figma mockups can secure first customers
  • Close the laptop — focus on diagnosis, not demos
  • Book next meeting on the current one to maintain momentum
When to hire: Wait until ~$1M ARR and a repeatable process. Hire in pairs — you need an A/B test.
Hiring framework:
StageWho to HireWhen
Founder-ledNobodyBefore $1M ARR
First AEs2 repsAfter proven repeatability
SDRs1-2When inbound overflows
VP Sales1When 2+ reps hitting quota

核心原则:
  • 创始人即产品——早期阶段你的个人可信度能拿下竞争对手无法获得的订单
  • 最大的竞争对手是决策拖延(40-60%的B2B采购最终以无决策告终)
  • 先销售再开发——Figma原型就能搞定首批客户
  • 合上电脑——聚焦问题诊断,而非产品演示
  • 在当前会议上敲定下次会议时间,保持推进节奏
招聘时机: 等到ARR达到约100万美元且流程可复制时再招聘。成对招聘——你需要做A/B测试。
招聘框架:
阶段招聘对象时机
创始人主导不招聘任何人ARR未达100万美元前
首批AE2名销售代表流程可复制后
SDR1-2名inbound线索溢出时
销售副总裁1名有2名以上销售代表达成配额时

Enterprise Sales

企业销售

Buying committee roles: Champion (internal advocate), Economic Buyer (signs), Technical Buyer (evaluates), End User (uses daily), Blocker (can say no)
JOLT method for indecision:
  1. Judge level of indecision
  2. Offer a firm recommendation
  3. Limit exploration by building trust
  4. Take risk off the table — de-risk the deal
Key tactics:
  • Identify and arm the champion — they sell internally for you
  • Address FOMU (Fear Of Making a Mistake), not just FOMO
  • Make procurement's job easy — prepare all documentation upfront

采购委员会角色: 内部支持者(Champion)、经济决策者(签字人)、技术评估者、终端用户、反对者
应对决策拖延的JOLT方法:
  1. 判断(Judge) 决策拖延的程度
  2. 提供(Offer) 明确的建议
  3. 限制(Limit) 过度探索,建立信任
  4. 消除风险(Take risk off the table) ——降低交易风险
关键策略:
  • 识别并赋能内部支持者——他们会帮你在企业内部推进
  • 应对FOMU(害怕犯错),而非仅仅是FOMO(害怕错过)
  • 简化采购流程——提前准备好所有文件

Sales Qualification

销售资格审核

BANT: Budget · Authority · Need · Timeline
MEDDIC: Metrics · Economic Buyer · Decision Criteria · Decision Process · Identify Pain · Champion
Rule: Qualify ruthlessly. "No" is a successful outcome. Disqualify on the first call if fit isn't there.

BANT: 预算(Budget)· 权限(Authority)· 需求(Need)· 时间线(Timeline)
MEDDIC: 指标(Metrics)· 经济决策者(Economic Buyer)· 决策标准(Decision Criteria)· 决策流程(Decision Process)· 识别痛点(Identify Pain)· 内部支持者(Champion)
原则: 严格进行资格审核。“拒绝”也是一种成功结果。如果匹配度不够,首次沟通就应淘汰该线索。

Implicit (engagement): Pricing page visits, demo requests, email clicks, product usage
Negative: Competitor domains, student emails, unsubscribes
显性(匹配度): 企业规模、行业、职位、技术栈
隐性(参与度): 访问定价页面、申请演示、点击邮件、产品使用
负面指标: 竞争对手域名、学生邮箱、退订

Pipeline Stage Hygiene

销售管道阶段管理

  • Enforce required fields per stage to block advancement with bad data
  • Flag stale deals (2x average time in stage) automatically
  • Alert on stage skips (Qualified → Proposal without Discovery)
  • Require reason codes on close date pushes
  • 强制要求各阶段填写必填字段,避免数据质量差的交易推进
  • 自动标记停滞交易(停留时间为阶段平均时间的2倍)
  • 对跳阶段操作发出警报(如从“已审核”直接到“提案”而跳过“需求探索”)
  • 推迟关闭日期时需填写原因

Sales Compensation

销售薪酬

Standard structure: 50% base / 50% variable (OTE). This is a starting point, not a law.
Modern comp plans align with customer outcomes, not just bookings. Reps who close churny deals should earn less than those who close sticky customers.
Ramp periods: 3-6 months for SMB, 6-12 months for enterprise. Provide guaranteed draw or reduced quotas during ramp.
Simplicity rule: If reps can't instantly calculate how an action affects their pay, the plan is too complex.
Common mistakes:
  • Incentivizing only bookings without customer quality
  • Over-complicated plans with too many variables
  • No ramp protection for new hires
  • Ignoring churn in comp design
For detailed comp frameworks: see
references/guest-insights.md

标准结构: 50%基本工资 / 50%可变薪酬(OTE,总目标薪酬)。这是起点,而非硬性规定。
现代薪酬方案与客户成果挂钩,而非仅与订单量挂钩。 签下高 churn客户的销售代表,收入应低于签下高留存客户的代表。
入职爬坡期: SMB(中小企业)为3-6个月,企业客户为6-12个月。爬坡期内提供保底薪酬或降低销售配额。
简洁性原则: 如果销售代表无法立即算出某项行动对薪酬的影响,说明方案过于复杂。
常见误区:
  • 仅以订单量为激励指标,忽略客户质量
  • 方案过于复杂,变量过多
  • 新员工入职爬坡期无保障
  • 薪酬设计未考虑客户流失率
