What is Sales Enablement?

WISH YOUR SALESPEOPLE WERE SPENDING MORE TIME CLOSING NEW BUSINESS?

That's what sales enablement is all about... Giving your salespeople the right strategy, content, technology, and training so they can sell smarter and sell faster. It's about ensuring they are able to identify the best opportunities and close more deals. 

THE FOUR BUCKETS OF SALES ENABLEMENT

01 Strategy

We believe every organization needs a Sales Playbook to outline your strategy. It's the foundation that drives the rest of sales enablement. 

Your Sales Playbook will guide your entire team through the diverse sales scenarios they encounter day in and day out, as well as streamline the entire sales process to ensure they are following best practices.

02 Content

Ensuring your salespeople have the best content at their fingertips empowers them to more strategically and efficiently answer questions, overcome objections, build credibility and trust, and move prospects through their buying journey.

Whether it's case studies, proposal templates, one-sheets, email templates, videos, or eBooks, sales content is a critical part of sales enablement.

03 Technology

While you can have an effective sales enablement initiative without technology, it's the use of a CRM and sales enablement tools that will ultimately help increase sales velocity and conversion rates. 

Sales enablement technology includes email tracking and easy pipeline management to automated personalized 1:1 outreach and meeting schedulers.

04 Training

You need a training plan tailored to the different needs of the various members of your sales team in order to effectively roll out a sales enablement initiative.

The right training will enable you and your team to truly leverage the work you've put into your sales enablement strategy, content, and technology.

This is crucial in the early stages but should also be ongoing. What's working? What's not? What could be better? What do you wish it did?

Keep it top of mind

7

Create ways to use these tools and resources in internal sales coaching conversations or sales meetings. If leadership is using and referring to it, they will know they need to use it too.
