Watch Sales Calls: Create Content That Closes Deals
When was the last time you sat in on a sales call? Ask a marketing team that and the room goes quiet. The honest answer for a lot of them is never. And that's the whole problem. You can't make content for a sales process you've never watched happen. You're guessing. Sales won't use most of what you make. They grab the one or two things that help them close and ignore the rest, and they're right to. Their job is the deal. Your content library is your concern, not theirs. So watch what they actually reach for. Usually it's the piece that handles an objection for them. Buyer pushes back on price, or security, or the timeline, and instead of the rep typing out a careful answer for the hundredth time, they drop in a link that already makes the case. That link just sold for them. The other thing they grab is anything that explains why you, specifically. Not the feature rundown. The reason a buyer picks you over the three other tabs they have open. If your content doesn't teach them something they didn't know walking in, it isn't doing that job. Marketing is the biggest asset a sales team has. I say it constantly. But it only proves out in the stuff sales is actually willing to put in front of a buyer. Go sit in on a call. You'll hear the questions reps fumble, and you'll know exactly what to build next.
