Salespeople have sales tools which often are not thoroughly thought through enough.  These can be flyers, catalogues, slide decks, etc.  They can also be proposals, quotations and invoices.  Usually the salespeople are given the tools as they are and either don't ask for improvements or don't believe the marketing department has much interest in their ideas about the dark art of marketing.  Consequently, there are some areas for improvement which go begging. Flyers, catalogues and slide decks tend to be very evenly arranged.  Every page is basically presented in the same way.  Yet, as salespeople we know that there are going to be certain products which are more popular than others.  These items and corresponding pages should be up the front.  It might mean breaking away from the sectional approach, of all the bits and bobs being collected together in their respective places, separate and cordoned off.  Also, on important pages of these most important products or services, there are bound to be key words or key paragraphs that, over time, we have learnt are of the most relevancy to our clients.  There will also be key data tables, diagrams or photos which should be drawn to the buyer's attention.  Why don't we have marketing do something with this information.  Maybe make the font larger, or add bold or highlight using colour.  This is only a matter of adjusting the layout of the page and getting the next round of printing or soft copy to reflect these updates. Generally speaking, we don't want to be handing our materials over to the client, in the first instance.  We want to spin the item around, so that they can easily read it. With our nice pen we draw their attention to the areas we want them to see.  Not everything on that page has equal value.  Some sections will be more important than others.  They can read the whole thing later at their leisure, but while we are there with them, we want to go through the content  and determine what they need to focus on.  When we leave the materials with them the highlighted areas will draw their attention to where we need them to be looking for information. If this is so easy, why are all the sales materials we see all look the same – flat, undifferentiated and no attempt to direct the eye of the reader?  Everyone has their job.  Marketing is there to produce the materials, but they don't know which are the key sections for buyer purview.  Salespeople are busy running around seeing clients and just take what they have been given.  They never think to make requests to marketing to change the materials. What if the buyers have different interests?  That will be true, but it will also be true that 20% of the key information will suit 80% of the buyers, so we should concentrate on that content.  If there are particular sections which are not highlighted, then we can deal with that problem when we are with the buyer. The other areas for some marketing effort are around how we present quotations, invoices and proposals.  We should be advertising our services or goods on the quotations and invoices.  Key people in the buyer's company will see these materials and here is a chance to get our information in front of them.  If there are soft copies involved this allows us to add links to the website where more information can be found.  QR codes are also good for taking information on a page to a website. Proposals can be very florid or very flat.  Something in the middle is a good idea.  We don't want the presentation of the information overwhelming the messages.  We also don't have to just rely on text. Visual stimulation is very powerful and photos of people are always attractive to us.  This is where we salespeople need marketing's help.  We need someone who has great layout skills and knows how to assemble the look and feel of the pages. Let's rethink our sales materials and ask what more could we get from them?
