## Sales
The Fleet Customer team embodies [our values](https://fleetdm.com/handbook/company#values) in every aspect of our work. We prioritize efficiency in our processes and operations. We succeed because of transparent, cross-functional collaboration. We are committed to hiring for and celebrating diversity, and we strive to create an environment of inclusiveness and belonging for all. We embrace a spirit of iteration, understanding that we can always improve.
Fleet's main source for prospects to learn about the company and its offerings is our website, fleetdm.com. There are many places across the website for prospects to ask for more information, request merchandise, try the product and even purchase licenses directly. If the user experience in any of these locations asks for an email address or other contact information, Fleet may use that contact information for follow-up, including sales and marketing purposes. That contact information is for Fleet's sole use, and we do not give or sell that information to any third parties.
## Customer codenames
Occasionally, we will need to track public issues for customers that wish to remain anonymous on our public issue tracker. To do this, we choose an appropriate minor planet name from this [Wikipedia page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_named_minor_planets_(alphabetical)) and create a label which we attach to the issue and any future issues for this customer.
## Outreach
At Fleet we use Outreach for sending emails to community members based on triggers or as part of campaigns. To get access to Outreach ask for a license in `#g-business-operations` [Internal video](https://www.loom.com/share/16bdb5dce92649f79aecb89112d95745)(Internal doc). We also use LinkedIn to connect and communicate with community members, prospects and customers. The CEO is DRI for all outbound messaging efforts with the CRO as backup. Fleeties please confer with the CRO before engaging in any outbound messaging.
### Outreach one-pager
Our one-pager offers a summary of what Fleet does. It can help stakeholders become familiar with the company and product while also being a useful tool the Growth team uses for sales outreach.

What is it like to be a Solutions Consultant at Fleet? What do you do every day? What does the path to success look like in this role and what can you do to contribute quickly at Fleet?
### Within 30 days -- assess and absorb information
* Being new to the company, you have fresh eyes. Document everything that seems odd to you (process, product).
* Begin working on domain and product knowledge acquisition. Complete guides found at https://fleetdm.com/guides.
* Be a prospect. Sign up for a Fleet account and try [`fleetctl preview`](https://fleetdm.com/try-fleet/fleetctl-preview). What makes sense? What doesn't? Document.
* Understand Fleet value drivers. Why do Fleet Community users want to give us money to upgrade to Premium?
* Complete consensus training videos (see the "Description" field in the `#help-consensus-tool` slack channel.
* Review [gong](https://gong.io) calls.
* Get trained on [Demo2Win](https://2winglobal.com/about-you/pre-sales/)
### Within 60 days -- synthesize
* Take what you've learned in Demo2Win training and build out some killer enterprise demo workflows / playbooks. See below for video content.
* Build video content with [Consensus](https://app.goconsensus.com/). Aim to produce a video per week.
* Supplemental domain training. Checkout [DFIR Diva](https://training.dfirdiva.com/) and [Cybrary - SecurityOnion](https://app.cybrary.it/browse/course/security-onion) and block time in your calendar appropriately for learning about one new topic per month.

* Demo from a clean "demo" browser profile. Clear your desktop.
* Pause desktop notifications.
#### Avoid these demo gotchas
* Showing absolutely everything the product does before you've done a technical discovery. Sometimes even a brief discovery prior to demo will hone your focus for the demo.
* Arriving to the demo without a plan. Ensure that you have a pre-call strategy meeting with your AE prior to the external call. Understand who you are presenting to. [Look at some tips on walnut.io](https://www.walnut.io/post/7-sales-demo-mistakes-and-how-to-avoid-them)
* Conducting a product training
* Live troubleshooting. We all love to solve problems, but don't get de-railed from showing value to your audience.
* Talking over your prospect. [Just don't do it](https://emissary.io/cardinal-sins-of-sales-demos/).

### Close a new customer deal
To close a deal with a new customer (non-self-service), create a GitHub issue using the ["Sale" issue template](https://github.com/fleetdm/confidential/issues/new?assignees=hughestaylor&labels=%23g-business-operations&projects=&template=3-sale.md&title=New+customer%3A+_____________) and follow the steps.
> TODO: dedupe between this section and the "Sale" issue template
This workflow outlines the process that sales and customer success can follow when a new deal closes.
1. (AE) A customer is sent an order form
- If the customer requires the use of their own legal contract, the account executive (AE) sends that contract to the business operations (BizOps) team for review. Then:
- If the customer can use DocuSign, the AE sends out the order form. The AE must cc themselves and BizOps on the order so that all parties receive a fully executed copy when signing is complete.
- If the customer does not use DocuSign, the AE sends out the order form directly to the customer.
- The AE then sends the paper signed copy to BizOps for Fleet review and execution (via DocuSign by the CEO).
- BizOps will cc the AE and stay ccd on the contract when the final copy is sent to the CEO for Fleet execution.
- Note: The Chief Revenue Officer serves as the backup to BizOps
2. The Customer and Fleet sign the order form.
- (AE) The AE adds the fully executed contract to the opportunity record.
- (AE) The AE marks the opportunity 'Closed Won' and includes the 'Closing Date'.
- (BizOps) BizOps team member adds fully executed contract to the [subscriptions folder](https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1kwwg8RmnT8DyPLDDYLiJ7w5legDEPc57) (internal drive) in Fleet drive
- (AE) Help BizOps secure a PO from the new customer to be referenced on invoice.
3. (AE) The AE creates a 'New Sale Issue'
- They complete the AE tasks listed at the top of the issue.
- Then they assign the issue to BizOps and the Head of Customer Success (CS).
- AE completes the Business Objectives section of the Account Plan located in the Sales> Opportunities> {Account Name} shared google drive folder.
- Solutions Consultant completes the Technical Objectives section of the Account Plan located in the Sales> Opportunities> {Account Name} shared google drive folder.
- AE moves the {Account Name} folder within Opportunities to the Sales> Account Plans folder.
- The AE schedules a 30 minute internal handoff call with CS and any other related parties to the sale.
- Prepare to review the following from the Account Plan:
- Details of the deal

- Previously using Fleet Free?
- Support tier (Premium or Ultimate)
- Competitive solutions in place
- Other relevant technologies in place
- Any proof of concept (POC) notes that are relevant
- Customer expectations for timeline
- Server deployment type
4. (CS) The CSM kicks off the CS responsibilities in the 'New Sale Issue'
- Create an “Existing Business” renewal opportunity in Salesforce.com (SFDC).
- Send the customer [welcome email](https://docs.google.com/document/d/11zrktUdb5FmJQgMyhtU26Wa-YzMES2jGcqEC7cw8tAo/edit) (internal drive) & [deployment checklist template](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tAQV6AqrRhqKusbA9Z6-5RBtOUknjkXVJXyF-Qp1Zls/edit#gid=1709744959) (internal drive)

When this happens, you'll need to manually start the crawler in the [Algolia crawler dashboard](https://crawler.algolia.com/admin/) to unblock it.
You can do this by logging into the crawler dashboard using the login saved in 1password and clicking the "Restart crawling" button on our crawler's "overview" page](https://crawler.algolia.com/admin/crawlers/497dd4fd-f8dd-4ffb-85c9-2a56b7fafe98/overview).
