Listen for lessons from great CEOs, valuable insights from experts and my ideas on how to elevate your sales to increase your valuation.

This only happens about 3 times every 28 years.

Here's some Friday fun.

It’s the first of two consecutive Friday the 13ths. 

Did you know March 13 is a Friday, too? 

Today’s date 2/13/26 also works as an equation, where 2 x 13 = 26. 

That’s called a “magic date,” and it occurs a few times per year on average.

I love a little bit of magic. 

Tell me some sales magic that happened this week. 

After a bit of a dry spell, I put out 4 proposals already this month.

Is your team is losing more deals or hearing “no decision” too often?

I’ve been doing win/loss reviews with my clients, and some patterns are too clear to ignore.

🪄 The more you know, the more you win!

In deals that closed, sellers knew more than five buying influencers.
In losses, they knew about two.

We call that multi-threading, but really it just means knowing everyone who matters. If your sellers do not, the odds are already against them.

🪄 No decision is still a decision

More deals are ending with no decision.

Buyers are exhausted. They have compared too many options, read too many AI-generated suggestions, and now everything looks the same.

When they do not feel confident, they freeze. They stick with the pain they know instead of the change they do not.

🪄 Dump the BANT discovery

Ghosting after discovery calls is out of control.

Sellers tell me, “They were so engaged!” Then nothing.

Buyers were interested, but the discovery call did not teach them anything new. It did not add value or show insight. So they went cold.

Want to stop the ghosting? Make your discovery call the one meeting that actually helps them think differently. Always agree on a clear next step.

💥 What sellers need to know now

The best sellers today know:

What a day in the life of their buyer looks like
What insights bring real value
How to guide a team to consensus
How to build buyer confidence

Here is the truth. Most buyers do not know how to buy from you.
This may be their first time buying a solution like yours. They might not even know how to get it approved internally.

Your sellers’ job is to guide them through it. Share examples, insights, and stories from other companies that made similar decisions.

Those sticking to outdated methods are losing deals.

Those meeting customers where they are and bringing useful insights are winning.

If you are the CEO, ask your leaders:
✅ Is our ICP still aligned with our best-fit customers?
✅ Are our personas actually involved in recent wins?
✅ Has our customer journey changed?
✅ Does our discovery process impress or bore buyers?

AI has changed the way buyers buy. 

Has it changed the way your sellers sell?

Use AI to learn and prepare, but let it make your team more human, not less.

Your turn:
What are you seeing in your own win/loss reviews right now?

Where are your sellers getting stuck: multi-threading, no decision, or discovery?

If this resonates, share it with a CEO or sales leader who needs to see it.


🪄 I'm Alice Heiman and I help CEOs drive revenue the easy way.

In a world where female founders are getting less than 2% of the investment, we must figure out ways to change that. 

Together we can make a difference. 

It's why we are known as the #biggestlittlecity. We can support female founders in a big way.

These founders were selected as finalists by Ania Calvillo-Mason, MBA and her team. 

💰 One will be the recipient of $10,000. 💰 

If you are in the area or even if you're not and you want to support this, we welcome you. 

The tickets are $100 and we need to sell 100 of them. There are about 30 left. 

Let's support these female founders. See you at the event.
