How can pricing improve for Sales Reps?

Hey War Room!


I am always looking to improve how our Sales team interacts with the pricing sheet. (ie Google Sheets, bundle pricing updates, Discount thresholds, initial quoting outside of CRM/CPQ etc)


For context, it seems the industry standard involves Analysts building a new version on google sheets and distributing it out to Sales reps with read-only or limited access so reps don't break it. Definitely could be improved!!


How are your org's managing the pricing and how would you improve it?

Make your reps do zoom calls with prospects with a prize wheel behind them to spin to determine pricing.

Unexpected option but I'll take it into consideration

Sales Managers often assist AEs in closing sales (sitting in on demos, providing support in pricing calls etc). What can SDR Managers do to provide similar support?

Thoughts on hiring sales reps based EQ versus IQ? I have hired more on EQ than IQ with a hint of hunger to make more in comms than IQ. What are your thoughts and what would you normally go for?
