A Sales & Marketing Quick Reference Card (QRC) is a one-pager that summarizes the company’s unique selling proposition, the solution’s positioning, the target opportunity areas, discovery questions and objection handling. The QRC is not designed as an all-encompassing document that must include every response to every permutation of every possible question–that requires a messaging framework and documenting some fundamental go-to-market building blocks. The document IS designed as a one-pager to be leveraged by: Inside Sales Reps, Sales Development Reps and Business Development Reps – i.e. the folks that make outbound calls and receive inbound calls. The QRC is not a complete call script but it serves to get everyone on the same page by providing consistent messaging that supports the brand, the value proposition and the core differentiation of the solution. The Demand Generation and Demand Management Teams – they should use the QRC as the “source code” for targeting and messaging in all lead generation programs and lead follow-up initiatives. For instance, Ideal Contacts will drive list buys, Ideal project Scenarios, the benefits delivered and discovery questions are copy that can be used on the website, in emails, landing pages and some of the topics could support a whitepaper, webinar or blog posts.
