B2B Marketing with Fexingo: Enterprise Demand Gen, ABM, and Long Sales Cycles · 2026-06-13 · 10 min
Episode notes
Episode 49 of B2B Marketing with Fexingo dives into the tactical use of sales playbooks to compress long enterprise sales cycles. Lucas and Luna examine a real case: how a mid-market cybersecurity company reduced its average deal cycle from nine months to five by implementing a structured 'deal desk approved' playbook for their top three buyer personas. They break down the six core sections of an effective playbook—from discovery question flows to competitive battle cards—and explain why most playbooks fail because they're written for generic reps rather than specific sales motions. The hosts also touch on how marketing teams can update playbooks quarterly using win-loss data, and why aligning playbook content with ABM tiers improves close rates. A practical episode for any B2B marketer looking to move pipeline faster without adding headcount. #B2BMarketing #SalesPlaybooks #EnterpriseSales #SalesEnablement #ABM #DemandGen #SalesCycle #MarketingOps #SalesPlaybook #WinLossAnalysis #BuyerPersonas #DealDesk #CompetitiveIntel #SalesMotions #Marketing #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
