Has anyone created Sales Playbooks for Onboarding/Adoption that complements/reinforces what you're doing from a customer marketing perspective? e.g. Here are the resources you should send to your customer in the first 30 days or adoption is low here are programs/resources you should suggest?

Alexie Glover October 25, 2023 at 03:57 PM

Working on this now! But not just sales, also CSMs in my context. Happy to share where I'm starting. But I don't have any adoption evidence yet!

Mary Green (Owner CMAweekly) October 25, 2023 at 03:59 PM

I wonder if @Liz Oseguera has done this. @Elyssa Steiner might also have some ideas.

Crystal Anderson October 25, 2023 at 04:52 PM

Watching this thread. If anyone has examples, I'd love to be included in this! Thank you.

Maura Frost October 25, 2023 at 05:12 PM

I would also love any examples!

Ciana Abdollahian October 25, 2023 at 05:58 PM

I said AEs only because I'm working with our SMB/Mid-market reps who only cover customers but CSMs would be applicable as well. I am starting on these journey so it's always helpful to see examples but also happy to share what I'm doing once I have a foundation built

We have a HUGE initiative around this for our 2024 SKO. Maybe a coffee chat discussion might be in order for us or you host a Friday community event with Mary since it seems like there's lots of interest around this.

Alexie Glover October 25, 2023 at 06:04 PM

@Mary Green (Owner CMAweekly) maybe we can do a Friday call on this topic?

Mary Green (Owner CMAweekly) October 25, 2023 at 06:09 PM

For sure, would you want to host @Alexie Glover?

Mary Green (Owner CMAweekly) October 25, 2023 at 06:10 PM

The soonest I have available is Nov 17 😬

Mary Green (Owner CMAweekly) October 25, 2023 at 06:10 PM

Honestly I can host, does this day work for all of you @Ciana Abdollahian @Maura Frost @Crystal Anderson @Alexie Glover

Alexie Glover October 25, 2023 at 06:12 PM

Nov 17 works for me! And happy to host or have you host and just be a contributor 💪 - the longer we wait for the call, the more I'll likely have to share 🥲😅

Maura Frost October 25, 2023 at 06:12 PM

I’m OOO that day but would love to see a recording or just any notes that were shared 🙂

Mary Green (Owner CMAweekly) October 25, 2023 at 06:13 PM

Recording will be available @Maura Frost 🙂

Mary Green (Owner CMAweekly) October 25, 2023 at 06:13 PM

I’ll put this down for the 17th

Brittany Higgins October 25, 2023 at 06:45 PM

Kayleigh Bateman October 25, 2023 at 11:26 PM

Would love to join this call too! 🙂

October 26, 2023 at 12:32 AM

Please add me to this thread and call, thanks. I also have a few suggestions on sales enablement assets that I have done in the past that works well.

Ciana Abdollahian October 26, 2023 at 12:42 AM

I should be able to make it!

Mary Green (Owner CMAweekly) October 26, 2023 at 12:56 AM

Will do!

Mary Green (Owner CMAweekly) October 26, 2023 at 02:54 AM

https://lu.ma/8iprqihm or if you are already on the weekly invite you can keep that. 🙂

Katlin Hess October 26, 2023 at 04:38 AM

Also happy to share how we're doing this at G2 -- we created CSM/AM "playbooks" that include email templates, onboarding guides and specific kickoff decks. (we did this through the full lifecycle too)

Alexie Glover November 17, 2023 at 06:06 PM

Friends, I am so sorry, but I am so sick today. I was really looking forward to chatting with you all today. I'll be watching the recording and chiming in with my thoughts after the fact. ❤️‍🩹

Mary Green (Owner CMAweekly) November 17, 2023 at 06:07 PM

It looks like both you @Alexie Glover and @Ciana Abdollahian wont be making it today. I know @Katlin Hess couldn’t in the first place, so we might run with a different discussion today. I’ll let you know.

Mary Green (Owner CMAweekly) November 17, 2023 at 06:09 PM

And of course, I hope you feel better. @Alexie Glover

Alexie Glover November 17, 2023 at 06:09 PM

Thank you ❤️

Ciana Abdollahian November 28, 2023 at 12:27 PM

I think I mentioned I’ve been asked to take this over at my company and my team hasn’t been built out yet. Our customer journey is pretty complex so right now we’re trying to figure what are the key milestones for all customers for onboarding (specifically self-serve customers) and then create playbooks for our customer focused AEs to drive customers towards resources, workshops etc that help with onboarding. Then we’ll try to tackle adoption. I don’t think I have much to offer right now but happy to talk at some point.

Brooke Wilson November 28, 2023 at 02:21 PM

Thanks for your insight, @Ciana Abdollahian. It sounds like we have similar initiatives including customer journey mapping and we are looking at Tech Touch experience in 2024. Would love to chat as you get further along in planning.

Mary Green (Owner CMAweekly) November 28, 2023 at 04:05 PM

I’m sorry @Ciana Abdollahian I thought you might have ideas from your research or insights from the work you’ve already done. TY for sharing where you are again, I easily lose track.
