Piiano was named a 2022 'Emerging Security Vendor' by CRN!
"Here are five out-of-the-box ways to compress the sales cycle and close more deals this year: 1) Position your solution to displace another adjacent solution that might be underperforming; 2) Appeal to decision-makers as individuals to advance their interests (ego, bonus, career growth, etc.); 3) Add value through the sales process itself by helping a CISO craft more business-relevant narratives to purchase your solution; 4) Often CISO budgets are a fraction of IT budgets. Keep in mind that there may be great leverage in expanding your audience beyond the security team; 5) Finally, as cybersecurity entrepreneurs, you must think beyond the primary value proposition of reducing risk. Consider your solution's role in optimizing cost structures, enhancing enterprise value, satisfying compliance requirements, fueling customer growth, accelerating revenue acquisition, and more.”
