🎓 Masterclass: 3 Proven Strategies to Increase Deal Size
There’s a shared push across GTM teams today (yours may be one of them):
Move. Up. Market.
Which makes total sense... most pipelines are shrinking, but revenue targets aren’t.
So the obvious solution is to make the most of each opportunity (AKA, increase your ACV. 📈)
Like most big changes, it’s not easy to actually do this… and fast. To consistently win bigger deals, you need an intentional shift & alignment on strategy across the ENTIRE revenue team (not just sales).
The sales team are key players of course. But with CS and RevOps joining forces to help align the entire customer journey – the push up-market becomes MUCH easier.
I’m stoked to talk to 3 of the best revenue leaders I know about all this in a masterclass next Friday: 3 Proven Strategies to Increase Deal Size!
Featuring:
- Anne Pao – experienced, talented RevOps & GTM consultant ✨
- Kyle Norton - proven sales leader & advisor to SaaS GTM teams 🙌
- Brad Rosen - a triple threat in Sales, CS & RevOps 💪
Sign up here to get their proven strategies for increasing deal size & moving up-market, and ask questions about how to drive up ACV on your team!
(PS – would love to see you live on Friday, May 19 at 1pm ET, but we’ll share the recording if you can’t make it.)

🔍 How Case IQ Decreases Ramp Time & Improves Deal Execution

((After Case IQ hired a layer of management to help improve processes and alignment, new Sales Director David McMurchy faced 2 key challenges:
- Established reps had knowledge of a proven sales process, but perfect deal execution didn’t occur every time
- New reps & management didn’t have a step-by-step playbook for progressing each stage of the sale
As a result, Case IQ’s sales team wasn’t following a shared process, and leaders struggled with gaining visibility into deals, coaching effectively, and maximizing deal velocity.
So they turned to Accord. By leveraging the platform to map & enforce a repeatable sales process across the entire team, Case IQ was able to:
🔁 Drive consistency & efficiency with a shared playbook
🎯 Up-level deal execution (business cases, MAPs, multi-threading)
📉 Decrease rep ramp time & increase visibility into each deal
Check out the case study for a deeper dive into Case IQ’s process!
