5 Reasons to Introduce a NEW Digital Playbook for Sales Kickoff 2024!

It’s time to ditch the thick pdf playbook with the multi-page index and replace it with a living document your sales teams will actually want to use.

Here are 5 reasons to empower your sales leaders, new reps, and your entire organization with a new digital playbook for Sales Kickoff 2024:

#1: Falling back on “the way we’ve always done it” doesn’t work anymore

Whether you’re looking for buy-in from Sales or working on attracting your perfect customer, getting their attention is half the battle. So why do the same old thing — the way it’s always been done — year after year?

Sales Kickoff 2024 represents a pivotal new year. Reignite interest and jump-start engagement by giving your direct and channel sellers something new — so they can get excited about sharing it with your customers.

#2: New reps need to be set up for success

We’ve all been in a new situation where we felt completely overwhelmed, and Sales is no exception. Dumping an avalanche of information on new reps hoping they’ll “figure it out” only inhibits their potential.

Get new sales reps up to speed quickly with an intuitive, interactive guide they can return to again and again — one that will help them acclimate AND learn from star performers.

#3: Disparate approaches muddle your effectiveness

When Sales, Marketing, and Customer Service aren’t on the same page, everyone feels the pain.

A consistent, user-friendly, “always on” digital playbook creates a strong foundation for your entire organization. By providing clear and concise information all in one place, you can create better alignment in strategy, processes, and great buyer experiences.

#4: Sales is short on time

Your sales teams are busy. They don’t have time to slog through an over-engineered PDF or PPT file looking for something that’ll stick, and they especially don’t have time to reinvent the wheel every time they want to personalize information for a buyer.

Keep it simple with a digital playbook that puts bite-sized information at Sales’ fingertips — one that’s customizable, trackable, and easy for reps to navigate.

#5: Sales is overloaded locating the right content

Did you know? According to Forrester Research1...

  • 62% of business buyers report that vendors give them too much content, most of which is useless to them.
  • 2/3 of sellers spend up to 10 hours a week modifying marketing content before using it in front of customers.
  • A company with $1 billion or more in annual sales revenue can waste around $1 million a year creating content that never sees the light of day, because sellers won’t use it.

Trade information overload for a “less is more” approach with a playbook that prioritizes the latest and greatest information.
