(Almost) weekend reads..

Is sales engagement really THAT important? Short answer, yes. Longer answer, check out this blog. It talks about the intricacies that make a relationship between a buyer and a prospective seller a positive one. And how sales engagement makes it happen.

Now, do you need a sales engagement platform to do your engaging? That’s another easy yes. This blog will tell you all about why a sales engagement platform just makes more sense from an effort, investment and results perspective.

MEMEory of an epic weekend

It’s been almost a week since #Barbenheimer was unleashed onto us but we’re still not over it. Combined, the two movies raked in over 200 MILLION dollars in its opening weekend - one of the best in moviegoing history. The lesson? Epic clashes don’t always have a loser. Sometimes everyone wins. That’s what we always say about our Cold Call battles.

Now, we know this isn’t a sales meme. But marketers are our dear friends, and we just had to shout out the incredible crowd-driven marketing these movies inspired. Look at all the tickets it ended up selling. One word. EPIC.

And that's all folks, see you again in the next one. Don't forget to subscribe to The Outplayer if you haven't already. ??
