This summer, I worked with founders from different parts of the world, through workshops and 1:1 mentoring, some in person and some online.

Different countries. Different startups. Often the same validation mistake.

“We spoke to potential customers, and they liked the idea.”

But liking an idea is not the same as being willing to change a workflow, share real data, invest time or pay.

The question I kept asking was:

What has the customer actually done that they would not have done if this problem did not matter?

That is where real validation starts.

Tretja ESET Sales Academy je pred nami. 🎯

Pri prvih dveh generacijah ni ostalo samo pri učenju. ESET je med udeleženci izbral nove sodelavce, ki so se kasneje izkazali kot res odlične okrepitve njihove ekipe. In prav to mi je pri tem programu všeč. Ne gre samo za teorijo, ampak za priložnost pokazati, kako razmišljaš, delaš z ljudmi in se lotevaš prodaje.

Tudi letos bom del mentorske ekipe in se že veselim nove generacije. 💚

Your job is not to move the conversation forward.
It is to 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝘆𝗲𝗿’𝘀 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻.

Those are not the same thing.

A seller can get the next meeting, send the proposal, involve procurement and move the opportunity to the next CRM stage.

And the buyer can still be getting less certain.

• Finance questions the cost.
• IT worries about integration.
• Operations sees disruption.
• Leadership asks why this needs to happen now.

A good sales conversation is not measured by how interested the buyer sounds.

It is measured by what the buyer is willing to do next.

That was one of the strongest themes in my 𝗗𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 & 𝗖𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀 workshop at Smart Startup Space in Phnom Penh.

A buyer can like the idea, ask good questions, and still leave without any real commitment.

Progress looks more concrete: introducing another stakeholder, sharing information, reviewing a pilot, agreeing on the next meeting, taking an internal action.

That is where interest starts becoming movement.

We worked on this with a mixed group of founders using real buyer situations, objections, and closing conversations.

A few more glimpses from my Cambodia EiR experience. 🇰🇭

Some ideas stay with you because you keep seeing them everywhere.

This one started in enterprise sales.

The best sellers don’t push decisions. They help buyers make them.

Over the years, I watched countless deals stall. Not because the solution wasn’t good enough. Not because the price was too high.

People simply weren’t ready to decide.

They needed more clarity.
More confidence.
More conversations inside their own organization.

The more I worked with buyers, the more I realized something.

This isn’t just true in sales.

The people we trust most in life rarely push us toward a decision. They listen. They ask thoughtful questions. They help us see what matters. And they give us the confidence to choose for ourselves.

Maybe that’s why this idea became a book.

Not because it’s about selling.

Because it’s about people.

What do you think? Does this apply outside sales too?

My Podim 2026; 11-13 May Builder Stage masterclass is now on YouTube 🎥

In 21 minutes, I share one of the most important lessons from my career in enterprise sales and later as an enterprise buyer:

B2B deals often do not stall because the product is weak.

They stall because buyers are not yet confident enough to move forward.

They still need to align stakeholders, explain the change internally, reduce risk, and make sense of the decision.

That is what Buyer Sense Conversations is about.

Helping founders move beyond pitching, and helping buyers build the confidence to decide.

Thank you, PODIM, for the opportunity to share this message with founders and innovators.

Good meetings don’t close complex B2B deals.

Buyers still need to explain the decision internally.

To Finance.

To IT.

To Operations.

To leadership.

That is where deals often slow down.

A buyer can like your solution and still not be ready to move.

Buyer Sense Conversations is about helping them carry the decision forward with confidence.

Many sellers do not fail in enterprise sales because they lack effort.

They fail because they use simple-sales habits in a complex-buying environment.

I hear the frustration often:

“The market is crowded.”
“The customer already has vendors.”
“Nobody wants to change.”

But enterprise buyers are not just choosing a product.
They are managing risk.

That is the shift many sellers underestimate.

I wrote more about this in today’s SalesBooster newsletter on my LinkedIn 💛🔥

Junior sellers often lose confidence when they enter enterprise sales.

The customer already has vendors.
The market feels crowded.
The deal does not move fast.
The buyer is not impressed by product arguments.

That is when many sellers start blaming the product, the market, or the competition.

But enterprise selling has its own craft.

In the pictures, I shared a few points from my checklist for junior sellers entering complex B2B sales.

What to notice.
What to ask.
How to find friction.
How to earn the next conversation.

This is also what we work on inside Buyer Sense Academy.

For sellers who want to understand buyers better and grow into real enterprise sales professionals.
