Episode Highlights

Empathy is vital

“I think that is something, whether it’s the pandemic impact or kind of the macroeconomic impact, there’s this empathy that sales reps are trying to find and trying to strike the right balance with their audience, and they’re trying to find content to help them strike that empathy.”

Engage your audience, no matter your role

“We all love stories regardless of role, and I think that’s so important that even if you’re presenting templates or toolkits or speaking to an audience who’s focused on efficiency, you don’t want to just make it so dry; the goal of good content should be to educate and entertain. And I think that’s important to remember — that storytelling is such a critical piece of that, no matter your audience.”

Sales tools are not just for sales professionals

“I wouldn’t think just of sales activity as for sales reps. Whether you’re a marketer, a product person, the goal for all of us is to make our sales team more effective. So I would encourage you to explore sales content, understand the challenges that they’re facing, what they’re thinking, and think about how your own role can impact sales.”

Salespeople know exactly what they want

“I think it’s pretty unsurprising that sales reps may be wired a little bit more transactionally than the typical audience; so, they want to know exactly what they’re getting into and exactly what they’re going to get out of it when they approach the piece of content. And some of our most popular pieces showed that. And the other thing is, I think if they’re out of that mode, they want the exact opposite mode, which is high empathy and fun storytelling that they can empathize with. And I think that, again, is what we saw in our data.”
