Who is at C-Level?
The C-suite refers to a group of executive-level managers and leaders within a company. Some of these individuals include the chief executive officer, chief financial officer, chief information officer, and other high ranking people within a company.
Getting to C-Level?
Often times, people don’t make their way up to the people in the C-suite. They get comfortable selling to the people who are really just door openers, and stay at that level instead of engaging with the people who truly matter.
Picking the Right Target
Part of selling individuals at the c-suite level involves knowing who you are selling to, and what their needs are. These meetings are at a premium, and you need to know the value that you add to the company and prove to the executive that you can give them what they care about.
