You only get one shot to make a positive first impression. As a sales rep, not only do you face challenges of getting in front of buyers and having enough time with buyers, but you also worry about making the first impression count. When it’s all on the line and you have five minutes to demonstrate value, what’s your move?
Interactive and Customized Digital Assets Have Replaced Paper-Based Collateral
Modern sellers know they must create sales interactions that engage buyers quickly and leave them wanting more. To do this, progressive companies are shifting away from paper-based leave-behinds and selling with digital assets. Digital content is beneficial for two reasons: First, digital content allows sellers to pivot on the fly and change gears to discuss what the buyer is most interested in. Second, marketing and sales management easily measure and track content usage and effectiveness.
Pairing Digital Asset Management with Sales Enablement for Better Tracking of Content Consumption to Offer Actionable Data
But not all digital asset platforms are created equal. Pairing content management with sales enablement technology provides an extra layer to customize the user experience. Depending on the structure of your sales organization, you may find the out-of-the-box user interface doesn’t align with your specific business needs.
Marketing and content administrators organize and distribute content to many internal roles (i.e. sales, alliances, marketing) for different uses, such as sales presentations, follow-up material, training, and reference resources. While the standard user interface is an effective place to start, marketers may want to deliver content in a visually distinctive way (i.e. banners, carousels, search results, etc.) to make it quick and easy for all roles to find what they need.
Introducing Workspaces: The Right Content at the Right Time to Boost Customer Engagement
Even more, each experience can be customized to the individual user, based on their needs and requirements. Ultimately, when new sales training modules are made available, a sales rep can receive this alert upon entering the system and quickly jump into the training program to complete assigned tasks.
A sales app user interface can make all the difference during a face-to-face sales interaction. Sellers feel more confident in their ability to guide buyers on a unique customer journey and quickly have the most relevant materials at their fingertips.
