SALES
SPOTLIGHT
|
Is Your Sales
Team Truly
Helping Buyers
in Today’s
Digital Era?
|
|
In today's world,
where buyers have
more power than
ever, traditional
sales tactics just
don't cut it. It's
no longer enough
to simply push a
product.
|
|
The best sales
teams now focus
on guiding
buyers through
their journey, building trust
along the way.
|
|
Are you giving
your sales team
the tools and
training they
need to excel in
this new
era?
|
|
Help them become trusted
advisors, not just
salespeople.
|
What is the
Modern Sales
Enablement
Function?
|
|
|
|
The modern sales
enablement
function is about equipping sales
teams with the
tools and
insights
they need to
support buyers
throughout the
entire
purchasing
process. It involves
providing
comprehensive
guidance that
helps buyers feel
confident and
well-informed,
facilitating a smoother
decision-making
journey. Additionally,
it incorporates
strategies that
allow sales
representatives to
engage effectively
across multiple
digital platforms
and stakeholder
interactions,
ensuring a
cohesive and
personalized buyer
experience.
|
|
According to Gartner’s research,
there are three
main areas that
sales teams must
focus on in
today’s
fast-changing
world:
|
-
Provide
End-to-End
Support
for
Buyers:
In the
past, sales
was about
helping
sellers
sell. But
today, sales
enablement
is about
supporting
buyers
throughout
their entire
purchasing
journey.
Buyers now
have access
to more
information
than ever,
which can
make their
decision-making
process more
complex.
Successful
sales teams
focus on
being
helpful
guides
during every
step,
ensuring
that buyers
have the
support they
need to make
the best
decision.
-
Build
Buyer
Confidence:
With so
much
information
available,
buyers can
quickly
become
overwhelmed
and
indecisive.
Research
shows that buyers
who are
confident
in their
decisions
are more
likely
to
complete
a
high-quality
purchase. It’s not
just about
selling the
product
anymore—it’s
about
helping
buyers feel
certain that
they’re
making the
right
choice, both
about your
product and
their
decision to
buy
it.
-
Enable
Multithreaded
Buying:
Today’s
buying
process
often
involves
multiple
decision-makers
and many
touchpoints.
Sales and
marketing
must work
together to
choreograph
course-smoothing
and
course-changing
interventions
across the
purchase
journey.
This
choreography
ensures that
customers
progress
smoothly
through the
three stages
of learning
(foundational,
application
and
evaluation),
ultimately
culminating
in a
high-quality
deal,”- From
the Desk
of Billy
Luckey,
Director
of
Advisory
for
Gartner
for
Sales
Leaders. By making
sure that
your team is
present and
helpful at
each of
these
stages, you
increase the
chances of a
successful
sale.
|
Ready to
Modernize Your
Sales
Strategy?
|
|
Sales teams that
help buyers feel
confident,
supported, and
well-informed are
the ones that will
thrive in this
digital age. If
your team isn’t
focused on
supporting buyers
through their
entire journey,
you could be
missing out on
valuable
opportunities.

you can improve
your sales
approach?

a modern sales
enablement
strategy that
helps your team
guide buyers from
start to
finish.

SALES
STRATEGY
|
Does Your Sales
Team Have the
Right Sales
Enablement
Platform for
Success?
|
|
A salesperson
without the
right sales
enablement
platform is like
a knight going
into battle
without a sword
and
shield.
|
|
According to
HubSpot research, 47% of sales
leaders say that
frequent use of
sales tools is
one of the
biggest
indicators of
productivity. To keep your
team competitive,
it's crucial to
equip them with a
sales engagement
platform that
helps plan,
execute, track,
and optimize
customer
interactions.
|
|
|
|
Platforms like Salesloft,
Zendesk Sell,
Zoho SalesIQ,
and HubSpot Sales
Hub
automate
communication
sequences, manage
sales content, and
provide valuable
performance
insights, giving
your team the
ability to focus
on building
relationships and
closing deals
faster.

These platforms
are designed to
streamline
processes, ensure
timely follow-ups,
and offer
real-time data on
sales performance,
so your team can
work smarter, not
harder. From
managing outreach

having the right
sales enablement
platform ensures
that your
salespeople are

customer
interaction.

Is Outbound
Sales Dying?
Here’s the Harsh
Reality.
|
|
Yes, outbound
sales is facing
some serious
challenges. And I
get the irony—our
business is built
on helping
organizations with
their outbound
strategies. But
the data tells a
clear story:
|
-
The average
number of
attempts per
contact has
skyrocketed
from 7.3 in
2014 to 11.3
in 2022
(Bridge
Group).
Meanwhile,
the number
of quality
conversations
per day has
plummeted
from 8 to
just 3.6
over the
same
period.
-
Cold email
response
rates are
abysmal,
averaging
just 1%
(Clearbit)—and
not all
those
replies are
positive.
-
Cold call
pick-up
rates hover
around 5%,
depending on
the
industry.
With Apple
and Android
making it
even easier
to block and
identify
unknown
callers,
that’s not
likely to
improve.
|
|
The truth is,
cold calling has
become a game that
only the top-tier
sales reps can
win.

strategy for
staying

this evolving
