Introducing Private Consultation Requests on Kandir

In enterprise sales, the hardest part isn’t always the pitch. $30 Billion dollars per year are lost in deals where prospects have told their AE’s that they want to move forward with their product. Ouch.

Kandir launched two months ago and hundreds of AEs have already written about how they closed accounts with Fortune 500 companies. Things like how they navigated tough procurement processes or overcame a competitor. Those Deal Retros are proving to be game-changing for sales teams who are hungry for real, unfiltered intel.

But we keep hearing the same request from both sides:

From sellers needing intel: “I wish I could just talk to this AE directly and ask them how they did it.”

From sellers with intel: “I’d love to share more than what fits in a review and get compensated for my time.”

So we built something new.

What’s New: Private Consultation Requests

Starting today, every review on Kandir can become a conversation starter. With Private Consultation Requests, researchers can book one-on-one calls with the sellers behind the Deal Retros that matter most to them, and can choose whether they want to have that call directly or if they want to maintain anonymity and work through a Kandir representative.

  • For researchers: Go beyond static intel. Ask the detailed questions and learn exactly how to land your next whale account.
  • For contributors: Turn your past experience into recurring income. Accept only the requests that make sense for you, share your expertise, and get paid for your time.

This is the next step in our mission: to make the real, hard-earned knowledge of sellers accessible when it matters most.

Sellers on Kandir have already earned over $20k sharing their knowledge. Private Consultations is now another way AE’s can earn for their expertise.

How it works

Sellers now see the new “Request Consultation” button on Deep Dives.

Fill in the details you’re looking for including whether you want to connect directly or via a Kandir rep. Include specifics on what you’re looking to discuss, and how much you’re willing to offer for the consultation.

Kandir will email the details to the Deal Retro author. If the author accepts the consultation request, a Kandir rep will facilitate scheduling of the conversation, and delivery of the intelligence.

What’s next?

We’re kicking things off with a launch offer: the posting fee for your first Private Consultation request is waived. That’s a $100 savings.

And don’t forget, Kandir still pays $75 for every new Deal Retro on a Fortune 500 company (pending quality approval). With Private Consultations, contributors can now get paid upfront and earn follow-up consultation requests when researchers want more.

Check out our database of Deal Retros. If you see one where you’d love to hear the seller’s story firsthand, submit a Private Consultation Request today.

The future of sales intelligence is going to be learning directly from the people who’ve sold to your top prospects.

Learn.  Win.  Make it rain.

Happy Selling,

The Kandir Team
