Take Aways

• The only constant in sales is constant change, and sales leaders need to effectively communicate changes to their teams.
• Early-stage reps are more likely to embrace change and see it as an opportunity for growth and development.
• As an organization scales, changes can disproportionately affect different groups, and it's important to communicate the reasons behind the changes and the opportunities they present.
• Building trust and transparency through regular communication and feedback is crucial for successful change management.
• Account managers and customer success managers should establish strong relationships with customers before communicating price changes, and provide data and reasons for the changes to help customers understand the value.
