A while ago I spoke with the VP of Sales of Segment.

Here’s what Y Combinator co-founder Paul Graham recently said about them:

We talked about many things that any B2B sales rep in 2016 should know. (And if you’re currently an SDR with big ambitions of becoming a VP Sales at some point… you especially should check out this interview!)

But one of the more tactical takeaways from the interview is what I want to share here: how you can shorten your sales cycle with three simple questions:
