Part 3:
Building sales confidence with non-technical reps selling digital marketing solutions
Are your sales reps losing deals because they don’t feel confident talking to local business prospects, not because they lack effort, but because the right knowledge isn’t at their fingertips?
Top-performing digital marketing providers don’t rely on heavy technical training anymore. Instead, they equip their teams with mini-expert knowledge, weekly industry updates, and simple, actionable processes that build confidence and make every conversation count.
After years of working with these leading providers (your competitors), we’ve uncovered what truly separates scalable, high-performing sales teams from the rest, and now we’re sharing it with you in this competitor playbook.

What's inside?
We’ve got the inside scoop on your competitors
After working with hundreds of digital marketing providers, we've documented the exact frameworks and strategies that market leaders use to scale successfully. Your competitors are our partners, so we've got the inside scoop on what actually works.
The importance of customisable SEO audits that reflect the solutions you sell
The digital partners winning more deals tailor their online presence audits to match the solutions they sell. For example, if you primarily offer local SEO and website optimisation, your audits should highlight local search visibility, GBP completeness and site performance.

The 4-step explanation method for building sales confidence
Your sales reps aren't SEO experts, and neither are your clients. So the trick is to teach sales reps the art of turning complex jargon and data into personalised storytelling that an SMB business owner can understand and see value in.

How to WOW prospects in the first call to reduce the sales cycle
Teach your sales team to close deals faster by crafting personalised pitches that instantly capture SMB prospects on the first call. With the right insights and approach, they’ll impress prospects, build trust, and convert opportunities without wasting time chasing endless follow-up emails.

Turn sales reps into mini experts with consistent industry knowledge
You don’t need to know everything about local SEO, AIO or structured data to sell digital marketing effectively, but having the right knowledge at the right time makes all the difference. Learn how to introduce easy training and share weekly industry updates that keep your team informed, confident, and ready to win deals without being overwhelmed.

"The best sales teams we work with have cracked the code on balancing good sales structure with individuality. They align everyone around the same business goals and use frameworks to guide the process, but they never try to force every rep into the same mould. Tools like Insites empower reps to sell confidently in their own style, whether they're natural relationship builders or data-driven closers. The easy audits mean they don't have to master technical SEO jargon or spend months learning Semrush. When you remove the barrier of technical complexity, each person's unique sales strengths can shine."
