Here’s what’s inside:
Develop a persona-based approach. To use technology tools effectively in sales and marketing, it is important to develop a persona-based approach that considers individual skills and behaviors. The focus should be on driving sales velocity rather than just increasing activity levels, and this involves addressing problems with opportunities, conversion rates, and people.
Plan ahead! Planning ahead is crucial for revenue operations leaders, both in terms of timelines and budgets. It is important to assess the total cost of ownership or return on investment for any new ideas or initiatives, especially if they replace manual processes.
Focus on communication within your sales team. Communication is key in effectively implementing new tools and processes. Salespersons and marketing teams need to simplify explanations, bring it back to basics, and make it accessible. Customers want to see and use the product, not just listen to the sales pitch.
