Review your library every quarter to remove irrelevant resources and identify new content needs. This ensures your organization stays responsive to evolving buyer expectations.
Leverage analytics tools to track which resources sales reps use most often and which have the highest impact on deal progression. This data can inform future content creation and sales training.

A strong library supports sales training by providing new hires with access to playbooks, scripts, and examples. This accelerates their ramp-up time and helps them focus on selling sooner.
