4 Set up playbook cards
Make AEs as confident on day 1 as they are on day 100, armed with the knowledge to answer any question or objection that comes their way.
Playbook cards display in real-time based on what is said or typed all while AEs are taking notes on a call.
Here are some examples of playbook cards to create for your AEs:
-
Competitive battlecards
-
Objection handling

Pricing and product details

Focus on what someone will need to know, say, and share
