2018 version of a Definition of Sales Enablement & Partner Enablement
Over the last 10 years, I have collected a number of different definitions of Sales Enablement on my blog’s “About” section, but finally took the time to add a bit.
Let me know what you think!
SALES ENABLEMENT & PARTNER ENABLEMENT
can be defined as:
“Delivering the right knowledge (= information provided in context) that is verifiably the most up-to-date and takes into account what a customer has already bought and in which sales step they are now
in the right format (video, audio, text, Chat Bot / AI assistant, calculator / tool, sheet, slides, etc)
and with the right questions to ask to the right person (internal/external with contact details) or Chat Bot / AI assistant,
at the right time (appropriate to sales step, pipeline, reminders, etc)
and in the right place (mobile-first, location aware, appropriate for region and regional availability of offering/solution)
in local currency (correct pricing for the given place)
on any device
in the right language (content & user interface)
with industry-vertical & geography appropriate case studies (customer success stories)
and aware of what can be combined as a solution
necessary to move a specific b2b sales conversation forward
for anyone touching accounts (salespeople / partners / channels).”
