    4 Ways to Equip Your Sales Team for Success

    At Salestable we are excited to explore ChatGPT for sales technology. It is a cutting-edge AI language model developed by OpenAI. ChatGPT is an incredibly powerful tool that can help us streamline many of sales processes and improve overall efficiency. With ChatGPT, we can generate high-quality sales content, such as email templates, phone scripts, and product descriptions, quickly and easily.

    Not only does ChatGPT save time, but it also ensures that the content we create is accurate, relevant, and engaging. This can help better connect with prospects and close more deals.

    I believe that ChatGPT has the potential to revolutionize the way we work, and I’m excited to explore the many ways we can leverage this technology to drive growth and success for Salestable.

    Below is a initial conversation about how we injected the context into ChatGPT and asked much more deeper and contextual questions.

    #1 Suresh: ok, I am co-founder of a company called Salestable, it’s a purpose-built sales readiness platform for small businesses. This is a saas solution and I need some sales material to be generated based on some data. Are you good at taking this challenge?

    ChatGPT: I’d be happy to help you generate sales material for your company, Salestable! Based on your description, it sounds like you’re looking for marketing materials that highlight the features and benefits of your sales readiness platform for small businesses.

    Here are a few questions that can help me better understand what you’re looking for:

    • What are the key features of your platform?
    • Who is your target market?
    • What are the main benefits of your platform for small businesses?
    • Do you have any existing marketing materials that I should take into account?

    Once I have more information about your platform and your target market, I can help you create effective sales materials that will resonate with your audience.

    #2 Suresh: Salestable is the world’s first purpose-built sales readiness platform for Startups and SMBs. 

    It takes approximately 2-3 months to ramp a new sales rep and the average turnover of sales reps is around 35% per year. 

    Salestable helps companies kick start their sales process by helping executives quickly onboard, ramp new sales reps, track their activities and results. We do this by providing personalized training, assessments, and coaching which expedites sales readiness. 

    We are going after a market valued at $18 Billion in 2021 growing at a CAGR of 19.7%. We currently have 60 customers and 250 users.

    ChatGPT: Thank you for providing more information about your company and platform, Salestable. From what you’ve told me, it sounds like you have a solution that addresses a real pain point for startups and small businesses – the long time and high turnover rate it takes to onboard and ramp up new sales reps.

    With that in mind, here are a few suggestions for sales materials that might be effective for your target market:

    1. Case studies: Highlight the success stories of companies that have used your platform to ramp new sales reps quickly and effectively.
    2. Data-driven infographics: Use data and statistics to show the benefits of your platform, such as reduced onboarding time, improved sales results, and lower turnover rates.
    3. Solution-based white papers: Detail how your platform addresses the specific sales readiness challenges faced by startups and SMBs.
    4. Sales deck: A deck that can be used to present your solution in sales calls, webinars and other occasions. It should also include customer testimonials and industry statistics to support your claims.
    5. Test drive or free trial: Offer a free trial or test drive of your platform so that potential customers can experience the benefits for themselves.
    6. Sales Scripts: develop a script for sales reps that cover all objections and questions that the customer might have and how to handle them to close the sale.

    It’s important that the material is tailored to your target market, highighting the key benefits they’ll receive when they use your platform, and providing concrete examples of how your platform has helped other companies.

    Please let me know if there is anything else I can help with!

    #7 Suresh: A lot of prospects asks us how we compare with a CRM. However, we don’t compete with any CRMs but we complement them. CRMs provide deal management whereas Salestable provides training and activity management that does not exist within a CRM. Can you write an email to a prospect who is asking the differences between Salestable and a CRM?

    ChatGPT: Sure! Here’s an example of an email that you could send to a prospect asking about the differences between Salestable and a CRM:

    Subject: How Salestable complements your CRM

    Dear [Name],

    I understand that you may have some questions about how Salestable differs from a CRM, and I’m happy to provide more information.

    A CRM, or customer relationship management system, is a powerful tool for managing and tracking deals, contacts, and other customer-related data. Salestable, on the other hand, is a sales readiness platform that is specifically designed to help small businesses like yours onboard and train new sales reps quickly and effectively.

    While CRMs provide valuable features for deal management, they do not offer the personalised training, assessments and coaching that Salestable provides. With Salestable you can help your reps to build the skills they need to hit the ground running and to achieve their targets.

    By using Salestable in conjunction with a CRM, you’ll have a complete solution for building and managing your sales team. Your reps can use the CRM to manage deals and customer data, while Salestable provides the training and coaching they need to succeed.

    It’s also worth mentioning that Salestable also offers activity management that helps to keep track of all the sales activities and progress of your reps. This information can be leveraged to improve the sales process.

    If you have any further questions about how Salestable complements a CRM, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d be happy to schedule a demo and give you a more in-depth look at the benefits Salestable can offer your business.

    Best, [Your Name]

    This email aims to explain the key differences between Salestable and a CRM, and how both can work together to provide a comprehensive sales management solution. However, if you have any more specific elements you want to add to the email or adjust it, please let me know.

    #8 Suresh: can you make it short?

    ChatGPT: Of course! Here’s a shorter version of the email:

    Subject: How Salestable works with CRM

    Dear [Name],

    Thank you for your interest in Salestable.

    Salestable is a sales readiness platform that complements your CRM by providing personalised training, assessments and coaching for your sales reps. It also helps tracking and managing sales activities and results. While CRM manages deals and customer data, Salestable helps your reps to build the skills they need to hit the ground running.

    If you have any further questions or would like a demo of Salestable, please let me know.

    Best,

    [Your Name]

    This email gets straight to the point and highlights the key differences between Salestable and a CRM in a concise manner, while still providing the prospect with all the necessary information they need.
