Sales acumen for Developers
summary
Explains concrete steps developers can use to win Drupal work: use the BANT framework to qualify leads, run a pre‑sales team of devs and PMs to produce estimates and a proposal walk‑through, and respond fast with video calls and meeting agendas. Recommends outbound lists or inbound blogging (use ChatGPT to speed content), and targets support or staff augmentation against 500,000 live Drupal sites (about 200,000 in the US, 7,000 in Poland). Advises role‑play, shadowing sales calls, and books like Sandler and SPIN.
