Enter your meeting with clear goals in place to be sure you can focus your budget requests, and put every possible measure in place to get an understanding of facts that can solidify your case for introducing sales enablement.</p><p>Some might say curiosity killed the cat, but we say ask plenty of questions and seek advice from people who can give you the steer you need. For example, if the reps in the sales department aren’t cutting the mustard, buddy up with sales ops and find out why. This could highlight areas where you can place particular emphasis.</p><p>Add to that, stone-cold evidence gives you credence and highlights why they need it in place; companies willing to invest in sales enablement tools because you assure them how awesome it’ll be are as rare as an eight-legged unicorn.</p><p>Look at the requirements. Seek evidence.</p><p>Don’t get giddy and go all guns blazing.</p><h3 id="strategize"><strong>Strategize</strong></h3><p>So, you’ve got the problem fixed firmly in your sights. Now, it’s time to plan a solution, and a sales enablement charter is used as a means of presenting your plan to execs; consider it a sales enablement equivalent of business case messaging.</p><p>Your charter needs to provide decision-makers with the information they need to make the final decision, including:</p><ul><li>What the program’s responsible for,</li><li>How it’s going to be staffed,</li><li>Target audience,</li><li>Key investments,</li><li>Which metrics will measure success?</li></ul><h3 id="speak-the-local%E2%80%99s-lingo"><strong>Speak the local’s lingo</strong></h3><p>Imagine an Apple sales rep selling their latest mobile phone to a tech-savvy buyer. They needn’t dumb down the jargon for fear of confusing the interested party; they can go about their business naturally and use every acronym and technical term under the sun.</p><p>On the other hand, if a technophobe entered the store and asked about the same product, the rep would have to change their approach and simplify the explanation previously given to the more adept buyer to close the sale.</p><p>In the same way, reps need to communicate clearly with their customers, the same logic applies when you’re trying to convince internal teams to buy into your sales enablement proposal. Use your charter to demonstrate how passionate you are about bringing this to life, and how much you think it'll improve the services being offered.</p><p>After all, when it comes to the crunch, if you can show your idea has financial legs, the likelihood is they’ll run with it.</p><p>To have them eating out of your hand, rather than chewing you up, communicate your messages clearly, and highlight how they’ll be the beneficiaries of your suggestions. Also, tailor your plan to the priorities of the company, if possible. So, if the CEO has made it clear they’re keen to increase customer retention, specify how the plan will address how account managers can improve the renewal process.</p><h3 id="get-the-support-of-the-wider-network"><strong>Get the support of the wider network</strong></h3><p>It’s not just the support of stakeholders you’ll need to begin your sales enablement quest. Sales reps and their managers also need to buy into your pretty plan, and to get them on the side, you need to understand their requirements and let them know what they’ll gain from buying into your proposal.</p><p>Focus on the positives; good news will always prick the attention of your audience. So, if you’re speaking with sales representatives, if there’s a rep who has secured new business following enablement-led training, don’t keep your cards close to your chest, let them know how your plans could help them do the same thing.</p><p>As far as your sales managers are concerned, communicate with them regularly, and liaise with front-line leaders throughout your push for new initiatives.</p><h3 id="how-to-measure-sales-enablement-success"><strong>How to measure sales enablement success</strong></h3><p>Let’s face the facts: there’s zero point in putting in all of this hard work if you don’t know whether it’s been worth the effort.</p><p>There’s a simple solution on the table that’ll let you know whether your master plan has been a resounding success, or somewhat of a disappointment.</p><p><a href="https://www.productmarketingalliance.com/okrs-the-key-ingredient-when-setting-and-achieving-product-marketing-goals/">OKRs, objectives, and key results</a> are commonplace for sales teams, there are questions you can pose to your reps that’ll allow you to assess what’s working, and what isn’t.</p><p>Need a hand getting started putting OKRs in place? <a href="https://www.productmarketingalliance.com/an-intro-to-product-marketing-okrs/">Download our free eBook</a> - we’ve got you covered.</p><h3 id="how-do-you-build-confidence-in-a-sales-team"><strong>How do you build confidence in a sales team?</strong></h3><p>A sales rep with confidence is like a runaway train - it’s pretty hard to stop.

This could be through meetings, sales calls, email click-through rates, <a href="https://www.productmarketingalliance.com/product-marketing-ebooks/">e-book/playbook</a> downloads, and so on. </p><p>So, a sales engagement <em>strategy</em> would be the approach your sales team members take to actually have these interactions with the customer and increase the number of interactions that occur.</p><h3 id="what-is-a-sales-engagement-process"><strong>What is a sales engagement process?</strong></h3><p>A sales enablement team will often develop a sales engagement process for the sales team to follow so that there’s more structure to their sales strategy. This is with the hope that the sales cycle runs more smoothly, and ends in a closed deal. </p><p>A typical sales engagement process will have a set of stages, similar to this:</p><ol><li><strong>Planning:</strong> Gathering the sales team to see how the sales engagement process should be approached.</li><li><strong>Prospecting and research:</strong> Time to identify prospective customers, research them to build strong personas, and add them to the database.</li><li><strong>First contact:</strong> This is the outreach stage, but shouldn’t be with the focus of closing a deal. This is to nurture any potential relationships with your prospective customers, teach them about the product or service that your company provides, and get that initial link of interest.</li><li><strong>Lead nurturing:</strong> This is where you begin to really develop those relationships with the customers you first reached out to, with the hope of leading them through the sales process and getting a closed deal. You can do this through follow-up calls or emails, answering any questions they may have, and essentially supporting them so they feel more comfortable and connected with your organization and solution.</li><li><strong>Closing the deal: </strong>As it says on the tin, hopefully by now the first four stages have been successful, and you should be moving on to closing the deal with your prospective customer. It’s important that this entire process isn’t forced, and that both ends are feeling happy with the deal that has occurred. This leaves the potential for a longer relationship between both parties.</li></ol><h3 id="best-practices-for-sales-engagement">Best practices for sales engagement</h3><p>Successful sales enablement is when your sales teams use the correct marketing content to improve the sales communication, and ultimately lead the sales engagement in a way that gets them to the end of the sales funnel, and closes the deal they’ve been working so hard on.</p><h4 id="use-your-resources-correctly"><strong>Use your resources correctly</strong></h4><p>To get the most out of the sales engagement process, you must remember to keep on top of your <a href="https://www.productmarketingalliance.com/how-to-fix-your-sales-content-management-in-2022/">content management</a>, publishing, <a href="https://www.productmarketingalliance.com/reporting-analytics-measurement-tools/">analytics</a>, sales training, sales operations, and so on.

This is where your personas, or ICPs, will come in handy.</p><h4 id="time-your-communication-correctly"><strong>Time your communication correctly</strong></h4><p>Another important factor in a strong sales engagement strategy is well-timed communication. </p><p>For example, you discover they don’t like communicating through calls, so you put a form on your website they can fill out requiring certain pieces of information. Then, it takes you over a week to get back to them. By then, they’ve likely already found another option. So, you’ve picked the correct channel, but timed it incorrectly. </p><p>So, you need to ensure that your team’s response times and sales productivity are up to speed by analyzing your prospect’s availabilities, the average times where it’s busiest, and so on, and adapt your engagement strategy to meet <em>their</em> availability and timing.</p><h2 id="best-practices-for-sales-enablement">Best practices for sales enablement</h2><p><strong>Roopal Shah, Head (VP) of Global Enablement at Benchling</strong>, shared her best practices for sales enablement in her presentation for the <strong>Masters of Product Marketing</strong> event in October 2021. <a href="https://masters2021.productmarketingalliance.com/replays/?ref=productmarketingalliance.com">Catch up</a> on the presentations from this event using our OnDemand service.</p><p>For now, this is what she had to say:</p><h4 id="make-it-fun-and-entertaining"><strong>Make it fun and entertaining</strong></h4><p>“Learning cannot be boring, and frankly, we're just too busy to keep it like that. How are you going to get your content across to your sellers? Videos? Cartoons? Costume simulation? How are you going to make them want to take your sales training and learn in the process, rather than just checking a box? Think about entertainment, not just education.</p><h4 id="flipping-the-classroom"><strong>Flipping the classroom</strong></h4><p>“The idea here is that the classroom can become a more engaging, interactive experience, rather than me just talking at you for 15 minutes. This is true whether it’s online or in-person. </p><p>“You don’t have to rely on recordings. It can be articles, it can be blog posts, it can be whatever you need for them to come in with as much context as they can have. The important thing is that they’re able to apply it. When they come into the virtual session, they already have a lot of contexts.</p><p>“When you get your breakout rooms set up, have your product evangelists be in each of them. Get in those breakout rooms yourself. You're there to really ask thought-provoking questions and prompt them and get them to think about this. You want to ensure you’re getting feedback as well. Is your messaging resonating? It's a great way to get on-the-scale feedback from various folks in your sales team.</p><h4 id="gamification"><strong>Gamification</strong></h4><p>“As you're thinking about working with your enablement team and thinking about how to get content to stick, you really need to think about gamification. Whether it's competing teams with prizes and rewards, the important thing is that your team is having fun. Prizes show that you are celebrating that learning. It also gives positive reinforcement to those who have done good work. </p><p>“Ultimately, organizations that have done this have better seller engagement. If your sellers are engaged, you're more likely to have your sales move forward. My final takeaway: Don’t just focus on customer or buyer engagement, focus on seller engagement.”</p><h2 id="how-can-you-measure-sales-enablement-success"><strong>How can you measure sales enablement success?</strong></h2><p>As is the case with any process, if you’re putting in the legwork to set the ball rolling, you’ll want to make sure it’s worth the effort, right?</p><p>Sales enablement falls into the same category.

Suffice to say, it’s a complete waste of time.</p><p>The same logic applies to sales enablement and sales enablement tools - to execute the sales enablement process successfully, you need to have the appropriate resources in place.</p><p>Sales enablement tools are platforms and systems designed to give visibility across the sales content lifecycle; they close the loop between marketing, sales, and customers, to help teams track content performance, from publication to pitch.</p><p>For instance, <a href="https://salesloft.com/?ref=productmarketingalliance.com">SalesLoft</a> is an ideal sales enablement tool for people on the lookout for templates and support with A/B testing, while <a href="https://www.gong.io/?ref=productmarketingalliance.com">Gong</a> gives businesses clarity on any areas failing to convert, so necessary amendments can be made.</p><p>There’s no end of nifty tools product marketers can use to improve their sales enablement.</p><p><a href="https://www.productmarketingalliance.com/22-sales-enablement-tools-for-product-marketers/">Check ‘em out.</a></p><h2 id="what-is-the-difference-between-sales-enablement-and-marketing"><strong>What is the difference between sales enablement and marketing?</strong></h2><p>Often, <em>content</em> marketing (not just marketing) and sales enablement are confused. This is because both teams create content, but on different levels, and for different audiences. </p><p><a href="https://www.productmarketingalliance.com/how-to-acquire-users-through-content-marketing/">Content marketers</a> create external content specifically for the consumer in order to sell specific products. However, sales enablement creates content and assets for internal use - specifically for the sales team, so they can effectively sell products or close deals with prospective customers.</p><h3 id="is-sales-enablement-part-of-marketing-or-sales"><strong>Is sales enablement part of marketing or sales?</strong></h3><p>Product marketing sometimes takes on the responsibility of sales enablement when there’s no SE team, but the whole purpose of sales enablement is to help the sales team feel confident in their knowledge, tools, and resources to effectively carry out their sales process. </p><p>Because of this, oftentimes, sales enablement is referred to as “the bridge between marketing and sales”. However, it’s not actually either, because it’s its own role, with its own responsibilities.</p><h3 id="what-is-the-difference-between-sales-enablement-and-sales-engagement"><strong>What is the difference between sales enablement and sales engagement?</strong></h3><p>The difference is rather simple. </p><p><strong>Sales enablement</strong>: The process of training and providing resources to your sales teams so they can have the best interactions with their customers possible. </p><p><strong>Sales engagement</strong>: The interactions between the salesperson and potential customer.</p><h2 id="how-do-i-get-into-sales-enablement"><strong>How do I get into sales enablement?</strong></h2><p>There’s a fair chance you may be reading saying to yourself: “Do I need to introduce sales enablement tools?”After all, your sales figures may be through the roof, right?</p><p>As we often say, you’ve gotta ask questions to get the answers you’re looking for. And we aren’t in the mood for bucking the trend yet. So, if you’re unsure whether sales enablement tools are needed at your org, consider:</p><ul><li>Are you hitting your sales goals?</li><li>Can you say with confidence your reps are always on-message?</li><li>Are you positive reps are using sales tools to their full potential?</li><li>Can you improve seller quota attainment?</li></ul><p>Answered ‘no’ to any of these questions? Then it’s time to put on your thinking cap and consider the most suitable sales enablement tools for your company.</p><p>You may have answered every question with a resounding ‘yes’ and think you’ve passed our test with flying colors; we hate to rain on your parade, but this isn’t necessarily the case - businesses change like the weather, and your situation today could be completely different tomorrow. </p><p>For example, if you make additions to your sales team or sales organization, you may need to formalize your onboarding process. Perhaps your reps have been tasked with selling an ever-changing product or service, in which case, the buying process could become more complicated, or your messaging or go-to-market strategy may be revamped.</p><p>The aforementioned scenarios aren’t far-fetched, or beyond the realms of possibility; every instance is often faced by companies at some point. Having the appropriate sales enablement software in place can work wonders for companies seeking to maintain sales figures during a transition period.</p><p>Still not 100% convinced? By completing a <a href="https://www.productmarketingalliance.com/sales-enablement-scorecard/">sales enablement scorecard</a>, you’ll get a concrete idea of how strong your current sales enablement setup is.</p><h3 id="what-skills-do-you-need-for-sales-enablement"><strong>What skills do you need for sales enablement?</strong></h3><p>There are a lot of hard and soft skills you need to effectively carry out the sales enablement role. Here, we’ve highlighted four of the most common and important skills you’ll need.</p><h4 id="knowledge-of-sales-processes-and-methodologies"><strong>Knowledge of sales processes and methodologies</strong></h4><p>It makes sense that if you’re going to be the ‘go-to’ person for the sales team to learn about how to successfully close deals with their customers, you must be knowledgeable of the sales processes and methodologies. </p><p>You need a level of expertise that you’re going to bring to the role in order to fully support your sales teams. So, ensure that you have a strong knowledge within this area so you can effectively carry out your sales enablement.</p><h4 id="collaboration-and-communication"><strong>Collaboration and communication</strong></h4><p>A large part of the sales cycle is being able to communicate effectively with the customer, or prospective customer. After all, poor communication can be detrimental to closing deals. </p><p>You must have strong communication and collaboration skills with your sales team that they can then transfer into their own roles so they can successfully carry out their sales calls.</p><h4 id="tech-savvy-with-a-wide-range-of-knowledge-in-se-platforms-and-tools"><strong>Tech-savvy, with a wide range of knowledge in SE platforms and tools</strong></h4><p>Having a suitable and strong tech stack is another critical asset to the sales enablement role. It’s up to the sales enabler to be able to teach sales teams which platforms and tools are the most successful solutions for the sales process, and how to use them correctly for the best outcome. </p><p>Part of the sales enablement role is to also continue reviewing and auditing the tools and automation platforms, keeping them up to date with the new integrations and functions that occur within the market, and continue to find new emerging technologies that would help to improve the competitive advantage of your organization.</p><h4 id="metricsdata-driven"><strong>Metrics/data-driven</strong></h4><p>Another part of the SE role is to demonstrate the impact of their efforts through the use of quantitative data. </p><p>Through methods such as win/loss analysis, they’ll be able to tell how successful their efforts are, understand how they can close more deals, and essentially optimize and streamline their entire approach to sales and sales enablement.</p><h4 id="project-management"><strong>Project management</strong></h4><p>As a sales enablement manager, you’ll be in charge of many projects, and you’ll need to oversee their implementation. You’ll also be responsible for the sales team and how they carry out their sales processes, meaning you must be able to strategize with them in order to receive the highest impact and success rates. </p><p>So, it’s important to be strong in your project management and organization skills to effectively carry out your sales enablement processes.</p><h3 id="how-do-you-learn-sales-enablement"><strong>How do you learn sales enablement?</strong></h3><p>How does anyone learn anything?!
