What is a decision maker in sales?

A decision maker is the person at an organisation who can say yes to your proposal and approve the money or time it needs.

How do you find the decision maker?

Start with who owns the problem you solve, not who has the biggest title. At a ten person company it is often the founder. At a large company it is usually a team head, with others who can block the decision. See how to find the right person at a company.

What if you reach the wrong person?

Ask them who handles this. A short, polite question often gets a name, and it gives you a good opening line for your next message.
