Why Enterprise Software Reps Are Writing Their Own Deal Memos

Episode notes

Lucas and Luna explore a quiet shift in enterprise software sales: reps are increasingly writing their own deal memos - internal documents that justify pricing, risk, and ROI to their own finance and legal teams. Lucas explains how this emerged from procurement's demand for earlier transparency, using a real example from a $2 million cybersecurity deal where the rep's memo saved the sale from a two-month legal review. The episode breaks down why vendors now train reps on margin analysis, compliance checklists, and narrative structure, and why the best reps treat the memo as a strategic tool rather than a paperwork burden. Luna pushes back on whether this adds more gatekeeping, and they land on a concrete takeaway: the memo is the new demo. #EnterpriseSoftware #B2BSaaS #Sales #Procurement #DealMemos #ROI #Compliance #SalesStrategy #ValueEngineering #Cybersecurity #Legal #Finance #BusinessAndTechnology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #SalesTraining #EnterpriseSales #DealDesk Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
