Magnolia’s Sales Training Card Game

I was in Switzerland a few weeks ago, visiting with Magnolia (plus, I got to visit the Alps!). They showed me “RFP.ASAP,” a sales-training card game they developed for their partners.

To play, you draw set of “Feature” cards. Then the dealer puts down a “Prospect” card, modified by two “Quirks” – this is the “RFP” of the game’s title – and you have to form a pitch based on features in your hand. I took a set of pictures which are available here.

The idea of “Quirks” rang very true. The game is wonderfully thought out and produced, and it’s a great way for Magnolia to get partners interacting with and thinking about their featureset.
