You wouldn’t send a sports team onto the field without a strategic play – and you shouldn’t send a sales team into deals without one, either.
Sales playbooks turn sales strategy into action. Your company may have brand positioning, but sales reps need bite-sized, practical resources in order to lead effective buyer conversations. That’s where sales playbooks come in. Sales playbooks enable reps to be more efficient and effective, making them a crucial component of any sales enablement strategy. 42% of best-in-class companies use sales playbooks (versus just 14% of laggard firms), resulting in better attainment of quota, higher rates of customer retention, and higher lead conversion rates.
