Why Is B2B Sales Tough?

๐Ÿ“ˆ Buyers complete as much of their buying process as possible before speaking with a salesperson. Between 57% (CEB & Gartner) & 90% (Forrester)

๐Ÿ“ˆ 89% of B2B buyers indicated that the information they encountered during the purchase process was of high quality. Too much high-quality, conflicting information stalls deals (Gartner)

๐Ÿ“ˆ 72% of buyers would prefer a rep-free experience or to complete a purchase without having to speak to a rep (Gartner)

๐Ÿ“ˆ 17% of buyers time is spent meeting with potential suppliers (Gartner)

๐Ÿ“ˆ 40-60% of all deals are lost to no decision. The Reasons for inaction: (1) Customers prefer status quo (2) Customer Indecision (JOLT)

๐Ÿ“ˆ Just 23% of B2B buyers view sellers as a top resource for solving business problems (Miller Heiman)

This is impacting pipelines.
๐Ÿ‘‡ Pipeline generation is down by 47%
๐Ÿ‘‡ Sales cycles are 32% longer
๐Ÿ‘‡ Win rates are down by 15%
๐Ÿ‘‡Average deal values are down by 32%
๐Ÿ‘‡71% of reps missed quota in Q4 '22

๐Ÿ’Š The market is reacting. Sales enablement budgets are set to increase by 50% by 2027 (Gartner).
Sales playbooks are a crucial part of a sales enablement strategy.

Whatโ€™s A Sales Playbook?
๐Ÿ’กSales playbooks are a powerful tool that gets everyone on the same page with the plan, helps you increase sales, implement change, strengthen communication, streamline your sales process and increase seller productivity.

๐Ÿ’กThey lay out the science of your sales organisation and how you operate. With them, you can establish consistency in performance. That consistency can lead to repeatability and ultimately help you scale your business.
