The New Rules of Sales Enablement

The delivery of the right information to the right person at the right time and in the right place is necessary to move a specific sales opportunity forward. Seems self-explanatory. You send the necessary information to the key decision makers and move your deal forward. But today, sales enablement is no longer just about increasing your bottomline after accessing and sharing the right information. You need to gain access to valuable information that can help pique the interest your prospect and get them into the zone where they want to 'hear more...' and, eventually convert into a buyer.

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER

You need to look at individual sales representatives and prospects and study what is working, how conversions are taking place and why. Instead of zoning in on a particular sales rep and his singular selling style and trying to replicate it across the board, look for the triggers which are prompting people to buy, and categorize them based on demographics such as time, purchasing power and so on.
