7 Sales Content Strategy Examples That Boosted Annual Revenue Is your sales team struggling to generate leads and bring in revenue? Maybe it’s the way they conduct the conversation. Or maybe, they don’t have the right assets to encourage a conversion. In this case, content marketing can be the answer. Typically, sales and marketing teams aren’t aligned because marketing wants brand awareness, and sales want leads. But, by creating middle and bottom funnel content—they both win.

If you’re struggling with delayed production timelines and far too many edits to your content, this post is for you. This article will discuss the need for a content approval process and why you should create one for your organization. But before that, let’s discuss what a content approval process is. What is a content approval process? It refers to a detailed approval process that helps companies maintain their brand identity, ensure accuracy and consistency in their messaging, and protect their reputation.

Did you know that 65% of over-performing sales teams have a dedicated sales enablement person (or team), and 84% achieve their quotas when there’s a quality sales enablement strategy in place? If you want to be one of those teams absolutely knocking it out of the park, then, it’s easy to see that you need a push for sales enablement. Yes, this is sometimes easier said than done, because great sales enablement involves collaboration across multiple departments.

Very few marketers can say that their content production workflow is a well-oiled machine. That’s because too often, they try to fit into a rigid workflow instead of creating a process that works for them. You need high-quality, carefully crafted content that delights your target audience while delivering results month after month. But how can you achieve that without having the right systems in place? This is where the right workflow comes into play—perfecting the end-to-end production process or resolving minor bottlenecks.

Are you overwhelmed and stretched thin, trying to juggle all the pieces of your content marketing workflow? If that’s the case, you need a content calendar to streamline your production. These calendars create a baseline for production and help you scale your content efforts. Even though planning, creating, delivering, and updating content calendars require time and effort, the results are worth it. This blog post will discuss how you can create an efficient content calendar that works for your marketing team while managing ongoing projects.

Most businesses struggle with maintaining their content inventory because of the lack of a robust sales enablement content management system. For sales teams, the goal is to meet their quota by any means necessary, but more often than not, the driver turns out to be content. For example, prospects might ask sales reps how a specific product feature works or the ROI of purchasing the product. They’ll likely send a case study or product brochure addressing these points.

You’ve already spent hours creating great content for your audience. But as a marketer, you know that creating content is the beginning of the process. Now you need the content to convert your visitors to customers. However, that’s challenging to achieve. The goal of content marketing is simple: create high-quality content that attracts visitors and converts leads to paying customers. But with the buyer’s journey so drawn out, it could take months to get the desired results.

How often have you been asked how much revenue a specific case study generated? Or rather, how often is the sales team sharing that specific case study? If you’re making a wild guesstimate, trust us—you’re not alone. It’s tough when you invest resources to create content and are not even sure if it’s getting read. It’s even worse when it gets read, but there’s no way of tracking its true ROI.

Time and again, your sales reps try to look for the right content to share with their prospects, only to be hit with the wrong—or worse—no assets. The time they spend looking for these assets could be better spent doing more productive things like closing the deal. On the other hand, marketing teams struggle to tag or track their content assets using a single database, as most content library software is not made for this purpose.
