FAQs: Enterprise Sales Playbooks
What makes enterprise sales in SEA different from other regions?
SEA enterprises tend to have longer sales cycles due to hierarchical decision-making. Multiple approvals are often needed, including from finance, IT, and the C-suite. Relationship-building and trust matter more than price alone. Government-linked enterprises (GLCs) also play a major role, requiring navigation of procurement rules.
How do you build an effective enterprise sales playbook for SEA?
A strong playbook should include:
-
ICP definition: Segment by vertical (banking, telco, manufacturing).
-
Messaging localization: Case studies and value props adapted for local pain points.
-
Multi-stakeholder mapping: Identify champions, blockers, and final approvers.
-
Process templates: Proposal formats, tender responses, and compliance checklists.
-
Training: Cross-cultural negotiation and procurement processes.
What KPIs should guide enterprise sales teams in SEA?
-
Pipeline velocity (movement through sales stages).
-
Win rates in RFPs/tenders.
-
Deal size vs CAC (balancing long cycles with ROI).
-
Expansion revenue (upsells into group subsidiaries).
-
Stakeholder engagement depth (contacts per account).
What role do partnerships play in enterprise sales execution?
Strategic partnerships help enterprises reduce risk. For instance, a SaaS company might co-sell with AWS or Microsoft Azure for credibility, or partner with a telco for bundled enterprise offerings. Such alliances shorten sales cycles and reassure procurement teams.
How can AI and digital tools enhance enterprise sales playbooks?
AI can:
-
Score leads based on intent signals.
-
Automate tender monitoring and RFP matching.
-
Personalize outreach at scale with localized messaging.
-
Forecast revenue with higher accuracy.
