Hear answers to these questions and more from Highspot’s new VP Strategic Services.

What Sales Leaders Really Need from Enablement
From onboarding and training to content and guidance, sales enablement can deliver a massive impact on revenue by driving the behaviors among revenue-generating teams that are necessary for effective buyer and customer interactions. However, their efforts will be fruitless without alignment with sales leaders on the outcomes they want to achieve. By understanding sales leaders’ top priorities, sales enablement professionals can design programs that turn strategy into action, and sales leaders can hold their teams accountable to those behaviors as a result.

I have so many business cards and can’t wait to contact them and see how we can work together on making it even better.
