Instead, they have it right in front of them.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If you use a single sales team, but work in many categories, create a line sheet\u00a0for each. These sheets\u00a0should give salespeople an answer in a single glance, rather than requiring a full read through to figure out the right information.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h3><strong>Customer Information<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Line sheets\u00a0also offer a valuable lead magnet for potential clients or partners.
