Let's talk about Sales Enablement

Did you know that 65% of over-performing sales teams have a dedicated sales enablement person (or team), and 84% achieve their quotas when there’s a quality sales enablement strategy in place? If you want to be one of those teams absolutely knocking it out of the park, then, it’s easy to see that you need a push for sales enablement. Yes, this is sometimes easier said than done, because great sales enablement involves collaboration across multiple departments.

Most businesses struggle with maintaining their content inventory because of the lack of a robust sales enablement content management system. For sales teams, the goal is to meet their quota by any means necessary, but more often than not, the driver turns out to be content. For example, prospects might ask sales reps how a specific product feature works or the ROI of purchasing the product. They’ll likely send a case study or product brochure addressing these points.

Marketing and sales spend an enormous amount of time hashing out different pipeline stages and funnel stages, trying to determine at what point different users fit into each. And you probably have an established process, so reviewing that will be incredibly helpful and save everyone a lot of time and testing. In order to help you create a stronger marketing and sales funnel upfront that converts more, we’re going to go over how to design a perfect marketing sales funnel design that will make every department happy.

As a marketing leader, it’s critical to enable your reps with the right tools. These tools should support the team— and their skill set—to win more sales and excel at their job. With so many sales enablement platforms on the market, though, how do you determine which one is right for your business? There is an abundance of different types of sales enablement tools and plenty of individual options in each product category.

Any chief marketing officer (CMO), RevOps specialist, and sales or marketing team member can tell you that there can be a significant disconnect between the marketing and sales teams. This disconnect isn’t just a potential cause for tension, but it can also cause substantial lost revenue. And while everyone plays a vital role in sales enablement, it’s clear that you need marketing and sales fully aligned for everyone to be more successful.

Sales enablement is a crucial piece of the puzzle when it comes to achieving revenue success. As the name suggests, sales enablement is all about giving your sales team the tools they need to be successful. While there are many different components that make up a successful sales enablement strategy, one of the most important is data. After all, data tells the true story about your business. It helps you understand what’s working and what isn’t, identify areas for improvement, and make better decisions moving forward 💪 📈

With Google Drive, it’s easy to manage all types of files and content, including videos. But sharing in Google Drive has some idiosyncrasies! Here’s how to share videos on Google Drive: There are several ways to do it: Share by email within Drive – with specific permissions Share with a link in your email program – with specific permissions Share by link publicly How you share it is based on what you want to accomplish.

As a marketing leader tasked with driving sales and revenue, how you integrate with the Sales team and support their responsibilities seriously impacts your success. No surprise there. But, what if support a single Sales team really means supporting multiple teams at the same time? Traditionally, there are two distinct approaches to sales: inside sales and outside sales. To muddy the waters, these simple names can have different meanings to different people:

“The single biggest challenge of selling today is not selling, it is actually our customers’ struggle to buy.” Brent Adamson (Gartner) Buyers are generally overwhelmed with options. They find themselves struggling between multiple choices, and spend too much time and energy understanding who’s offering what, and what will work best. How can we make our buyer’s job easier? 🤔 One solution is to create custom buyer experiences to target the specific pain points of each customer and show how we address exactly the problem they’re trying to solve.

With the introduction of Google Drive Labels, content creators now have more options than ever to manage their content 🙌 . But every platform has pros and cons, and you are often limited by what the system was designed for. For example, excellent archiving and security may be great for an IT tech but not so much for marketers and sellers! Your marketing team needs content management designed for marketing (think funnel stages, content types, and products).
