This is the job of sales plays. Sales plays in their simpleist form should be repeatable conversations and deal programs that lead to successful customer ROI and company revenue. Start with the sales team when you ideate here, what are the most successful conversations your top sellers are having? Heres an example of a generic play name:
Faster [business outcome] for [persona]
Here's what a play should have:
Pitch deck
Out of the box demo
Demo video
Play overview: problem, value prop, use cases, customer ROI, differentiation
AE and sales leader support/endorsements
Make sure to spend enough time with your sales partners while you create a play. They will use it if they have a hand in it.
