B2B companies are trapped in a quagmire of inefficiency. They spend countless hours on administrative tasks and miss valuable opportunities because they don't optimize their sales strategies. Sales reps spend 75% of their time maintaining CRM systems, creating reports and juggling endless meetings. The actual sales time? A measly quarter of their working time. This imbalance leads to frustration, missed opportunities and stagnant growth.

B2B marketing is in a state of upheaval. Companies that rely on traditional methods are realising that they are no longer delivering the desired results. Customers are flooded with information, and only those who take innovative approaches will stand out. This is where the Sales Automation Canvas comes into play - a revolutionary method for optimizing marketing and sales processes and achieving more sales.
