Marcia talks with sales expert, Drew Williams about how to have more success by using a sales playbook. Sales are the most important part of every business, with a playbook, your sales metrics will improve. Drew explains that the entire process should be mapped out from lead to close and from delivery to follow-up. There are two primary reasons to build a playbook; one: to analyze for better results and two: to train others to duplicate the process.
