Supercharge Your Sales with Content That Actually Converts
Ever feel like your content and sales teams are speaking different languages?
Let's bridge that gap and turn your content into a sales magnet.
Here's your playbook for creating content that your sales team will actually use:
Align with the Sales Funnel: Map each piece of content to a specific stage (awareness, consideration, decision).
Create Battle Cards: Develop one-pagers summarizing key benefits, FAQs, and competitor comparisons.
Craft Customer-Centric Case Studies: Focus on specific problems solved and quantifiable results achieved.
Why it works:
Sales teams can quickly find relevant content for each prospect
Addresses common objections proactively
Provides social proof through real-world examples
Implementation steps: a) Interview your top-performing sales reps about common customer questions b) Audit existing content and categorize by funnel stage c) Identify gaps and create a content calendar to fill them d) Develop a shared system for easy content access (e.g., shared drive, content management system)
Pro tip: Set up monthly meetings between content and sales teams to ensure ongoing alignment and gather feedback on content effectiveness.
Your move: Choose one high-performing blog post. Transform it into a sales-ready format (e.g., battle card or short case study) this week. Share with your sales team and track how often it's used in the next month.
