What selling into DACH actually looks like.
German buyers reward specificity: quantified ROI, references from comparable Mittelstand names, and a clear data-processing story win meetings.
Procurement cycles run long (3–6 months) and legal review is heavy. We prepare your team for DPA, AVV and Schrems II questions before the second call.
Austria and German-speaking Switzerland share the same language playbook but diverge on pricing anchors and preferred vendors — we brief per country.
The DACH playbook.
- 01Native German SDRs calling from a European number.
- 02Localised outbound sequences (email + phone + LinkedIn) rewritten for DACH tone.
- 03Objection handling for GDPR, on-prem preference, and reference-check culture.
