Sales Enablement

Content, communications and insight for sales teams

What is Sales Enablement?

We define Sales Enablement as equipping a sales organization or salesperson with the tools and information needed to perform their jobs effectively. Sales Enablement is a specific and specialized role in many organizations, typically reporting into Sales Operations or the Marketing department. The Sales Enablement role focuses on both the sales process and customer journey, bridging the gap between marketing, sales, and customer support.

Sales Enablement Platforms are critical for enabling and empowering your sales organization with effective tools to engage your customers successfully.

A single content library ensures consistency and standardization of training, adoption, and implementation content and tools. Access presentations, videos, email templates and more from anywhere to ensure instantaneous customer support. Product, Engineering and Services teams can collaborate and support customers throughout the lifecycle.

Beyond managing sales content and marketing collateral- understand what messages and materials customers respond to on a slide-by-slide level. Gain visibility into what content was used, in which channels, and how that content engages buyers. Hear and see how content is actually being pitched by sales with Replay and Recordings.
