The Power of Personalization: Guiding the Customer Journey with Tailored Content

To find out the state of sales enablement in 2016, look no further than CSO Insights' benchmark data on sales enablement optimization. This year's report reveals a picture of sales organizations in dire need of support, with only 56% of sales reps achieving or exceeding quota last year and an average ramp-up time of seven months or more. Long ramp up times, low quota attainment, & less time spent actively selling – all of these paint a picture of rapidly decreasing sales productivity.   

In this webinar, Tamara Schenk, analyst at CSO Insights and a leading voice in the sales enablement space, will talk about why that is, as well as uncover: 
– How sales enablement has evolved over the past two years
– Why so many companies fail to reach their sales enablement goals
– The importance of having a formalized sales enablement program
– The revenue impact of aligning sales to the customer’s journey

However, they are often plagued with too many tools and inefficient processes, which prevent them from doing what they do best – close deals.  According to CSO Insights, sales reps spend only 35.9% of their time actively selling, and to further complicate matters over 82% of B2B decision makers think sales reps are under-prepared.

How to Create and Manage Showstopping, Effective Sales Collateral

Thousands of forward-thinking organizations are leveraging modern sales enablement strategies and technologies to much success, and the time has never been more relevant than when the most important sales meeting of the year is upon us - Sales Kickoff.  If 70% of material covered during training is lost within the first 24 hours, how can you ensure that the valuable information you are providing to your team is most effectively delivered, retained and reused with customers and prospects?

The way people buy now has fundamentally changed forever. Strategies and tactics sales organizations have relied on for years no longer meet the needs of the marketplace. Everyone is looking for new ways to sell but many organizations are struggling to understand what “better” sales enablement really looks like. And yet, research powerhouse CSO Insight reported that organizations with a sales enablement function in place achieve 8.2% higher revenue than those without.

Join this webinar to hear industry experts Thierry van Herwijnen, Host of Sales Enablement Labs, Kyle Parrish, VP Sales and Emma Dunnstone, VP Marketing at Showpad, dive deep into why a solid sales enablement strategy and supporting technology is crucial for a successful Sales Kickoff.

Why a Sales Enablement Strategy Is Crucial to a Successful SKO

According to the latest CSO Insights research, companies with a sales enablement function in place outperform those that don't by 8.2% in higher revenues. However, today 75% of the firms surveyed don’t have this function in place, and the 25% that do could optimize their efforts even further. 

CSO Insights conducted a survey with 300+ companies in order to understand the role of sales enablement in helping organizations identify prospects and move them more effectively through the sales process to a close. 

Listen to Tamara Schenk, Research Director at CSO Insights, and discuss trends in sales enablement, a strategic initiative focused on optimizing sales process, resources and technology to better guide the buyer.
