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:

  • Why are the early signs of customer defection so difficult to spot?
  • When it comes to calculating customer profitability, how good is “good enough”? How accurate is accurate enough?
  • What's a typical ratio of Sales Ops headcount to Sales headcount?
  • What can I do if I can’t really tell whether the customer is serious about needing the absolute lowest price?
  • How does cycle time affect overall results? Aren’t the dollars the same no matter when you get them?
  • What kinds of things should a Sales Ops group be focusing on?
  • When conducting research interviews, how many should we try to conduct?
  • Any tips for getting others in our company on-board with conducting more rigorous competitive analysis?
  • How do we know what tweaks to make in the various stages of our funnel?
  • For targeting purposes, what if we can’t find any attributes that are common across our most profitable customers?

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