personas

objections

    response: Use playbooks and deal criteria to reinforce that methodology in daily work, with activity synced to the CRM.

    response: Show a live deal workflow and relevant customer examples; validate adoption in a pilot with representative sellers.
  • objection: What will it cost beyond seats?
