1) Know who the right people are — Reaching out to the right people can be quite confusing while selling to Fortune companies because of its vast size. If you get in touch with the wrong people, try to use them as a medium to get to the right ones. Do not rely on one person only, keep expanding your network.

3) Do not expect immediate results — Let’s be realistic, you won’t get immediate results. Selling to a Fortune company is a slow procedure, so you have to be patient. It will take a reasonable time for the procedure to complete.
4) Think out of the box — Remember, Fortune companies keep getting sales pitches now and then. So, to crack this deal you will have to think something out of the box. If you do not offer your prospect something extraordinary, they will never be interested in your product or service.
