We thought we had content marketing nailed, but then we looked a little closer….
A Tale of two Sales Teams
Our two best performing sales teams are competing for the coveted Sales Professional of the Year Award!We’ll decide the winner based on the number, and value of deals. Both teams have the same training, the same number
(and value) of leads, and the same opportunities in the pipeline.

Quick access to SMEs

winner is…
With insights, information and the
ability to create more targeted pitches
at their fingertips, Team A was able to
close the deal fast, by giving the
customer everything they needed -
quickly, efficiently, and professionally.

Team A
Having the ability to track and
identify the resources your
reps use most means less
wasted time, and content.
Having everything they
need to pursue a lead
handed to them, when
they need it, is
something every sales
professional dreams of.
Every business challenge is
unique,
and customers expect more than
just a one-size-fits-all solution. To
make a real difference,
salespeople need to be able to
tailor their messaging, value
propositions, and presentations
quickly, efficiently, and
individually.
Selling isn’t always simple,
so the ability to gather
and share knowledge
across the organisation
(especially with
salespeople out in the
field) is critical.
Team A is leveraging the Sales Enablement Uplift Program - with Seismic integrated into their Salesforce, data insights and updated content.
So, what’s the difference? Team B is using traditional methods.
Performance differentials are illustrative only and have not been quantified based on existing performance measures as we can not track this.
