Get the Answers You Need

Whether you have specific questions about building a more effective B2B sales operation—or just want to know which questions you should be asking—the library of questions in the SellingBrew Playbook makes it easy to find the answers and resources you need.

Here are just a few that subscribers get access to:

  • What's a typical ratio of Sales Ops headcount to Sales headcount?
  • My company seems to love platitudes. How do I get others to focus on real messages?
  • What’s the difference between “hard” and “soft” value-drivers?
  • How do I know if my value messages are really "strategic"?
  • What do I do if my internal team can’t reach agreement on a set of value-drivers and their relative importance?
  • How does cycle time affect overall results? Aren’t the dollars the same no matter when you get them?
  • Should we be able to command a price premium for every value-gap we identify?
  • For targeting purposes, what if we can’t find any attributes that are common across our most profitable customers?
  • Is speaking about loss avoidance really more powerful than highlighting upside gains?
  • Should it concern us that customers haven't ever considered the value-drivers we've identified?

This question is just one of hundreds of educational resources you get access to as a SellingBrew Playbook subscriber.
