Course overview
Sales teams often rely on individual judgement, informal coaching and disconnected templates. The result is inconsistent qualification, uneven discovery quality, unclear handovers and proposals that do not reflect the buyer’s decision process. A sales playbook converts proven selling methods into a practical operating system: defined stages, buyer-facing messages, qualification criteria, account plans, call guides and manager coaching routines. It gives sellers clear choices about what to do, what evidence to collect and when to advance or exit an opportunity.
This course teaches participants how to design, test and maintain a sales playbook for a defined market, product line or sales motion. Participants map customer buying journeys, segment accounts, define ideal customer profiles, create value propositions, build discovery guides and establish opportunity stage gates. They apply MEDDICC qualification, SPIN questioning, Challenger commercial teaching and mutual action planning to create usable field guidance. The course also addresses sales-content governance, CRM alignment, onboarding, coaching and adoption measurement.
Teaching combines short instructor briefings with sector-based case work, peer review, role-play simulations and structured build sessions. Participants develop sections of their own playbook from the first week, using their organisation’s sales process, target accounts and buyer challenges where appropriate. Each participant leaves with a complete sales playbook structure, priority templates and a 90-day implementation plan suitable for review with sales leadership, marketing, enablement and CRM teams.
The course suits sales managers, sales enablement specialists, business development leaders, commercial operations staff and marketing professionals who support revenue teams. It is particularly useful where organisations need consistent selling behaviour across territories, products, channels or newly hired salespeople.
