Join us for this episode: Sales Enablement’s Evolution from a Front Row Seat with Jim Ninivaggi,Chief Readiness Officer at Brainshark, Inc.
Hear Jim as he talks about:
- His front row seat to the evolution of sales enablement. How does it differ from what he saw 6 years ago?
- The “bifurcation” that is happening and how it is primarily around two key areas of sales enablement: sales readiness and sales content management. We will discuss what this means.
- We will discuss how this bifurcation is shaping the sales enablement tech landscape.
- How sales enablement is a critical component of marketing alignment in some key areas:
- Helping in the management of content.
- Ensuring reps can use assets effectively in their buyer interactions.
- Helping ensure lead conversion through better initial buyer conversations.
- Working hand-in glove with product marketing to ensure reps are ready to position enhancements and new products.
- We will wrap up by talking about the group that seems always lost in the alignment discussion – first-line managers, and how we need to think about providing assets for managers to use in coaching reps.
