Fuel growth through revenue:

Selling has changed thanks to the internet. Even just 25 years ago, nobody knew more about a product or service than the sales person. Now that’s not the case anymore. Buyers are empowered and technology is changing the way salespeople engage with prospects.

The modern seller’s world is driven by data. But a constant stream of information can overwhelm sales reps and hurt productivity. Sales enablement professionals create systems to make data a true asset.

Visions vs Goals:

The purpose of sales enablement is to help your company make more sales, but that shouldn’t be the end result. You need a vision of what you hope those additional sales will help you do. It’s important to distinguish a vision from a goal. You need both in order to succeed, but they play different roles.
