What Goes In To an Account Based Sales Playbook

What is a sales playbook?

A sales playbook is a collection of tactics that outline the characteristics of your sales process; buyer personas; agendas; sample emails; discovery, qualification, demo, and negotiation questions; proposal guidelines; and/or competitive intelligence guidelines.
In other words, your sales playbook helps you standardize and implement your account based sales methodology with all the high-performing content and strategies needed to close a deal.

Why do you need a sales playbook?
Having an account-based sales playbook is like having a map at a theme park you know where everything is you just need to select where you want to go and what you want to do the most.
There are a few unavoidable advantages to having a sales playbook because
  • When you hire a new salesperson, training him or her to your company’s product and ABM practices become far easier and faster.
  • With a playbook in place you can speed up the sales process as every rep, SDR, VP has content right at their fingerprint and can dedicate more time for selling.
  • As everyone within the company follows one sales playbook/practice of messaging will be unified from rep level to CEO.
  • Develop the playbook by adding old and new techniques that worked for you in closing a deal, and lessons learned from those which did not work. This helps the salespeople to choose from a variety of options that all worked in the past.
If your sales team doesn’t have a playbook yet, or the existing one is just a thin guide with very little information, it’s time for a change.
Here are the key points you must include in your team’s account-based sales playbook.
