inability to get sales and marketing teams aligned around the right processes and technologies costs upwards of 10 percent of revenue per year

On July 21, 2011, IDC hosted a webinar entitled “Setting Your Sales Enablement Strategy”. In the invite for the webinar IDC revealed a very interesting number that really helps to put the financial impact a proper Sales Enablement strategy can make into perspective:

“Is Sales Enablement a new concept? Certainly not. Marketing and some sales organizations have been attempting for decades to equip their direct and indirect sales channels with the right information, at the right time, in the right format, to assist in moving specific opportunities forward. However, companies’ inability to get their sales and marketing teams aligned around the right processes and technologies (or at least consistent ones) has cost them upwards of 10% or more of revenue per year; or $100 M for a $1B company.

Global list of Sales Enablement software vendors

See below for my list (airtable here) as of 16-Apr-2024:

  • Sales Enablement Platforms (SEP) SaaS software vendors/apps/tools, Sales Enablement solutions, Sales Enablement Automation,
  • B2B marketing / sales content management systems (CMS), Sales Content Management platforms
  • B2B sales knowledge management (KM), Learning Management Systems (LMS) for sales,
  • Digital asset management (DAM), Sales Asset Management (SAM),
  • Digital Content Management for B2B sales (DCMS)
  • Buyer Enablement / Sales Readiness

When you shortlist vendors, be sure to look into:

  • Integrating content from existing repositories or uploading copies [of what you have in your repositories] into the cloud? Aim for one single source of truth!
  • How does the solution integrate with the given CRM system?
  • Single-Sign-On (SSO)? Security?
  • Are the rules for how the search feature weights results shared by all client companies or can each client customize?
  • Exit strategy for content & metadata when you change vendors? Export feature?
  • How does the solution support you to meet the challenges that come with doing business globally? Which languages are supported for the content & for the UI (user interface)?
  • Flexibility for customization / your influence on the roadmap / number of developers at the vendor? Be careful when you get a lot of influence on the roadmap as this might mean you are dealing with an agency / development shop & not a product company – you might be the only customer or the biggest customer & they might go under if they can’t find other customers.
  • Easy to integrate into your existing IT infrastructure / processes?
  • Does the solution help to manage how you show your complex portfolio of products, services, & solutions to your salespeople & channel partners? How quickly can that be updated for org changes? Is it the vendor making the changes or is there an editor/admin user interface?
  • Analytics & social features that allow usage metrics & feedback from sales to marketing (ratings/voting/comments) & uploading/sharing of content: Sales User Generated Content (UGC)?
  • Is there an intelligent way to maintain the ‘single source’ of content (or content blocks) being re-used a lot? Can documents be [auto-]generated to be highly customized for the specific sales situation / vertical / geo etc – yet look polished?
  • Is content intelligence as in BI (Business Intelligence) & analytics for the Content Lifecycle) available? Where in its life cycle is my content? What gets bad ratings? What needs to be retired? What isn’t being used? What’s missing? What’s used the most? What closes deals?

Amplemarket amplemarket.com @amplemarket COVID was a catalyst for remote sales motions. Enterprise account executives close multi-million dollar deals without ever meeting the buyer in person. This highlights the importance of a sales stack easy to implement, learn & manage; individual reps need the tools necessary to hit their quota, & managers need to have visibility into what’s happening across their teams without being able to be physically next to their teams on a daily basis. Most sales teams need to stitch together a variety of point solutions to execute their sales motions. Amplemarket can replace a number of those across a few different categories. The founders saw challenges of scaling B2B sales in other companies & realized existing point solutions don’t address core problems. The excessive fragmentation of the present-day sales stack combined with recent advances in natural language processing (NLP) set up the opportunity for an all-in-one compound solution that can leverage the virtuous data cycles of having a central system of action. Sales teams have more SaaS subscriptions than they know what to do with, leading to friction & added operational complexity. They designed Amplemarket to rally different pieces of the B2B sales process around a single prospect versus a collection of siloed, disparate tools. Email deliverability is probably one of the most important problems that go-to-market teams have to deal with when doing B2B sales. Email deliverability is a complex multivariate problem & a lot of the things companies did 5 years ago to keep a healthy deliverability aren’t enough. Better Deliverability > More Sales Conversations > Increased Sales Pipeline > More New Customers > More Revenue! For B2B companies improving their top of the funnel, engaging with more prospects translates directly into more revenue at the bottom of the funnel. So, really, for sales teams: Deliverability = Revenue! San Francisco, California, USA

With the best questions & best answers during your sales calls Ciara makes you an inside sales rockstar – right away. Outside sales is still around, but compared to inside sales it is trending down. Ciara will be able to understand a conversation in full & will provide real-time sales enablement skills to inside sales reps. Sales professionals spend just 34% of their time selling. They spend the rest of their time with data entry, quote generation, & other tasks. And these tasks keep them away from customers.

With the playbook in place, reps can answer customer questions on competition, pricing, & new product capabilities quickly. The more you use it, the better it gets by using deep learning from daily interactions. Inside sales is growing because of the way consumers & businesses now interact with technology. When someone wants to buy a product or service, the first thing they do is search for it online. By the time they have made the decision to buy, they have all the information they need. In most cases, they make the first contact. Whether it is through email, chat or a phone call, this contact is made to an inside sales rep. How the rep responds will dictate if the customer is going to move forward with the purchase. This highlights the importance of proper training & having the right tools in place. Founded Date: 2019.
