Rethinking the Sales Funnel.
What actually wins customers today.
How do you win enterprise customers when the choice of vendor often begins to take shape before the first sales conversation? And how does interest become a signed deal when buying committees, budget approvals and internal priorities all have a say?
Four talks. Perspectives drawn from long enterprise sales practice and from modern go-to-market. An evening among people who know complex B2B deals from more than slide decks.
The funnel is changing. The challenges behind it are familiar to all of us.
An account shows interest, yet no one knows how the decision will actually be made. The champion is convinced, but the economic buyer remains out of reach. The pipeline looks healthy until deals slip into the next quarter, again and again. And all the while it grows harder to open a relevant first conversation with classic outbound at all.
The Enterprise Sales Summit starts precisely there. We discuss how companies make it onto shortlists today, how signal-based outbound is really put to work, and how complex purchasing decisions are moved forward from within. Experience from established sales organisations meets the possibilities of modern GTM infrastructure.
Not as a collection of sales buzzwords, but as an exchange on what holds up in daily practice, where methods reach their limits and what needs to be rethought.
Many customers research, compare and form preferences before sales is involved at all. How do you become relevant early with the right accounts? And what part do trust, relationships and a coordinated customer journey play before an opportunity ever appears in the CRM?
More touchpoints alone do not make a better pipeline. What matters is whether the outreach fits the account, the occasion and the moment. We look at buying signals, account research and the technical side of modern GTM processes – from the underlying data to workflows built with tools such as Clay.
Large deals rarely fail for want of one good presentation. How do you build access to several stakeholders? How do you reach the economic buyer without going around the champion? And how does individual enthusiasm become a decision the whole organisation will stand behind?
An opportunity can sit in the forecast while the customer is not preparing a real purchasing decision at all. How do you recognise progress? Which questions bring risks to light? And how do clear qualification, MEDDPICC and a mutual action plan help move the right deals forward?

Rainer Hoesl spent more than five years in enterprise sales at Salesforce and brings further experience from Accenture and BearingPoint. Today his focus is on building scalable sales organisations: how does founder-led sales mature into a resilient go-to-market model, and which processes ensure that pipeline is not left to chance?

Co-Founder, GTMengineer.dev · Signal-Based Outbound & GTM Engineering
Emanuel Morhard stands for the technical side of modern new business acquisition. He builds go-to-market systems that combine account data, buying signals and automated workflows into relevant outreach.

For those who carry responsibility in enterprise sales themselves:
Anyone who steers complex B2B deals knows that good conversations alone are not enough. What counts is the right access to the account, durable customer relationships and a sales process that holds up even when many stakeholders have a say.
