What it does

Create sales collateral that reps actually use

Best for

Founders building sales infrastructure for early B2B sales teams, ensuring reps have customizable, high-trust collateral.

Inputs
  • · Value proposition and differentiators
  • · Sales motion (self-serve, inside, field, hybrid)
  • · Deal size, cycle, buyer personas
  • · Collateral needs (decks, one-pagers, objection docs, playbooks)
Outputs
  • · Sales deck (10-12 slides with story arc)
  • · One-pagers for post-meeting, champion selling, trade shows
  • · Objection handling docs
  • · Demo scripts
  • · Playbooks by scenario
Requires
  • · Deck design platform (Keynote, Figma, Canva)
  • · Collateral management (Notion, Google Drive, sales wiki)
Preconditions
  • · Product-market fit validated (repeatable value prop known)
  • · Sales team in place (or planned)
Failure modes
  • · Reps rewrite deck before sending → deck misses actual pain/language
  • · One-size-all deck for multiple buyer types → wrong emphasis for each persona
  • · Feature-dump deck instead of story arc → no narrative drive, no decision path
  • · Non-scannable documents → reps can't find answers mid-call
Trust signals
  • · 10-12 slide framework with story arc (problem → cost → shift → solution → walkthrough → proof → case study → implementation → ROI → pricing → CTA)
  • · Deck principles: story arc not feature tour, one idea per slide, design for presenting not reading
  • · Customization by buyer type (technical, economic, champion) with emphasis trade-offs
  • · One-pager use cases (post-meeting, champion selling, trade show) with structure
  • · References to deck frameworks and objection docs in references/
  • · Core principle: sales trusts what sales wrote; involve reps in creation
