For our fourth sales play (see Storyboard Sales Play #1 – “Sphere of Influence,” Storyboard Sales Play #2 – “Stack Ranking” & Storyboard Sales Play #3 – “Market Intelligence”), this play is one of my favourites. I’d like you to remember the movie The Wizard of Oz, in which Dorothy and her motley crew of friends (Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Lion) are trying to get to the land of Oz and visit the wizard inside the Emerald City. Along their journey, they encounter some pretty hairy situations, like fighting trees and flying attack monkeys… and they get pretty discouraged. What I believe would have motivated and better guided this team would have been a clear picture of what the Emerald City looks like, smells like, and benefits from – in advance! Dorothy would have been more determined to march to the Land of Oz.
