Sales Enablement has become one of the most critical arenas for success for modern marketing and sales organizations. “As a function, Sales Enablement is fundamentally redefining the way Marketing and Sales teams do their jobs,” says Clare Price, vice president of research at Demand Metric. “Enabling the sales force is the best way for modern marketers to prove that they can produce revenue for the organization.”
Report highlights include:
• Success for Sales Enablement is built around one basic tenet – Alignment. This alignment must occur in five key areas: Marketing & Sales Operations, Roles and Responsibilities, Process Alignment, Content Alignment and Technology, Systems & Platform Alignment.
• Larger companies, who view Sales Enablement strategically rather than operationally, are getting more benefits from their use of Sales Enablement.
• The report identifies ten factors, such as increasing competitive pressure, as the most notable trends creating the willingness to engage in Sales Enablement.
The “Sales Enablement: Best Practices, Case Studies and Insights” also covers Sales Enablement systems and applications from six solution categories to help readers make better informed vendor choices in these six application areas:
• Enablement Knowledge Management (KM)
