The 3 Golden Sales Rules in DACH 

We've all been there...

But once you understand how buyers think, what they value, and how they make decisions, youโ€™ll find that DACH isnโ€™t harderโ€”itโ€™s just different.

So letโ€™s start with the 3 Golden Rules every seller needs to know:

Rule #1

Efficiency is King โ†’ No fluff in emails. No long-winded cold call Intros. Get to the point, back it up with proof, and move on.

Rule #2

Trust is Earned, Not Given โ†’ Forget "Letโ€™s grab a coffee." Buyers here trust competence over small talk. This means if you say you'll send a proposal today, send it today.

Rule #3

WHID (GERMAN: Was habe ich davon?) โ†’ The Buyers ask themselves 1 fundamental Question: What do I get from it? 
Answer this question efficiently for that person, and you cover all 3 rules in 1 Call.

๐Ÿ’ก Bonus: Commitment Takes Time โ†’ Even though it might take a bit more time to book a meeting, DACH buyers are known to be reliable once they do commit. In DACH, you find an average of 6.5% no-shows compared to markets like the U.S., with up to 20%. 

Best Practices: 


๐Ÿš€ Outreach:

  • You can Personalise & Scale with the right Technique
    Instead of spending 20 minutes figuring out how to write the first Email in your Sequence, use this template to personalise for the PERSONA and then scale with their pain points

๐Ÿ” Discovery:

  • Trust is built through Competence.
    For us, trust is built through Doing. Your. Job. This means if you say you will send the summary email with the offer today, you will send the email TODAY. 
    For more on understanding how to work in different cultures check out Erin Meyer's Culture Map ๐Ÿ“•

โœ๏ธ Closing:

  • Learn to enjoy the Silence
    We are a logical market. Asking tough questions triggers our logical thinking. So when we're quiet it's because we are thinking, not because we're disagreeing. 

Whatโ€™s Next?

Sales in North vs South of Germany ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช
After the D/A/CH edition took off, a bunch of you asked the obvious follow-up: What about inside the different countries?! The North-South / East-West divide is old, real, and still shapes how people do business today! That's why we decided to share a bit more insights into the different countries and start with Germany. โ€ผ๏ธ Disclaimer โ€ผ๏ธ This is a topic we can talk about for years and everyone ...
Dโ‰ Aโ‰ CH: 3 markets = 3 pitches
Do NOT treat "DACH" as one market with one pitch. Germany, Austria, and (German-speaking) Switzerland share a language, yes, but the Sales Culture does differ! Same words. Different rooms. โ€ผ๏ธDisclaimer: This week's newsletter is based on Conversations with Sales Reps and Research. If you're still not sure, find a Sales Rep in the country and ask them directly. They will have first-hand experien...
Turn GDPR in DACH into your Superpower ๐Ÿฆธ
Most Sales Reps treat data protection like a checkbox or push it on to Legal to handle it In DACH, GDPR can be your superpower as it turns you into a trusted advisor rather than a seller. How you talk about data handling during the pitch, not after it, can be the thing that actually wins trust. The research: A representative survey of 2,000 German consumers found this: A third of Respondents sa...
