How Turning a 27-Page Contract Into a Cartoon Won 8 in 10 Deals
As head of sales in banking and insurance, Adam Manderovic noticed that elaborate bid contracts were routinely rejected — and realised nobody was actually reading them. He stripped a 27-page document down to two pages of sales copy, then converted it into an illustrated cartoon, and asked clients' permission to send it. Eight out of every ten recipients came back ready to sign.
"Who actually reads those 27 pages about the company that you're wanting to maybe need a solution from? The answer I came to was nobody."
Selling to One Gatekeeper to Reach 50 Buyers: A New Targeting Logic
Rather than approaching companies one at a time, Manderovic's method — which he calls "top-down targeting" — combines B2B data signals like company financials, department growth, and DISC personality profiling with consumer data to locate what he terms "commercial access gates": single venues, communities, or associations where dozens of identical buyer personas already gather. One pitch to the right gatekeeper can unlock 50 qualified prospects simultaneously.
"Instead of selling to one company to get 50 seats, we are selling to maybe one person for access to 50 of those management job titles."
Customer Success Teams Are Leaking Revenue, Says Sales Consultant
Manderovic argues that customer success functions have become a structural liability at most companies: staffed with junior order-takers and managed by directors who have never held an urgency-driven sales role, these teams fail to chase lapsed contracts, manage renewals proactively, or spot expansion opportunities. The result, in his diagnosis, is a perpetual "leaky bucket" that quietly erodes the revenue new business teams work hard to win.
"They're not go-getters, they're only order takers — they're not chasing existing lapse contracts, they don't work on renewals, and they don't have any outbound actions for opportunity spotting."
