Every content manager we’ve spoken to has one issue with production: terribly written first drafts. Does this sound familiar to you? Then you’re not alone. It boils down to a lack of standardized content production processes. The production process is tedious, and that only worsens if you don’t have the right systems in place. To avoid this, create a solid content production workflow, and incorporate a key ingredient to set your strategy into motion: the content brief.

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, therefore, it’s easy to see that you need a push for sales enablement. This is sometimes easier said than done because great sales enablement involves collaboration across multiple departments.

How to Create a Content Calendar That Works For You Are you overwhelmed and stretched thin, trying to juggle all the pieces of your content marketing workflow?

As an added bonus, they can also be optimized for SEO and provide you with plenty of original data that you can leverage as an expert in your field.

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.

A one-pager is a document that gives a high-level overview of something, usually one topic. One-pager can be used for just about anything - from summarizing an event to giving an overview of a company or product. The key is to tailor the one-pager to its intended audience. That means prioritizing the design and content based on what is most important to them. For example, in the business world, one-pagers are typically heavy on text and light on graphics.

What if you could guarantee great sales content that’s produced on a regular schedule?
