In this episode, Bryan unpacks what makes a truly effective sales playbook - and why now is the time for sales leaders to get serious about it. He shares the key components every playbook must include: a foundational philosophy, planning elements, defined processes, contingency plans, and accountability mechanisms. Bryan spotlights the Blind Zebra Sales Operating System (BZSOS), a comprehensive set of procedures, tasks and scoreboards, with 10 guiding principles that help sales teams achieve clarity, consistency, and success.
He also invites sales leaders to two powerful opportunities: certification classes designed to help teams master BZSOS (ahead of Q4), and Huddle, a sales leader-only event on October 30 in Indianapolis where VPs of Sales and CROs from across the country will gather for a day of learning, motivation, and inspiration. Don’t let Q4 sneak up on you. Tune in and get your playbook in order!
