Today’s modern reps move to new companies and roles every few years (or less). With this ever-shrinking sales talent lifecycle, enablement feels increased pressure to maximize productivity. That means finding better ways to focus and deliver readiness efforts (like training or coaching) when, where and how the sales force works.
11 Sweet Tweets from the Sales Enablement Soiree
September 28, 2018
Hundreds of thousands of business pros converged upon San Francisco this week to attend Dreamforce 2018. And while the annual mega-conference blew everyone away once again, it was the Sales Enablement Soiree that surely stole the show for anyone in sales enablement.
The day-long Soiree featured a slew of fantastic speakers and panels – including Brainshark’s Chief Readiness Officer, Jim Ninivaggi – and left “sales enablement Twitter” buzzing with takeaways and highlights. We plucked 11 of our favorites from yesterday’s event for those who couldn't make it, or simply want to re-live the action!
P.S. If you missed Ninivaggi's speaking session, "The 4 Pillars of Sales Readiness: A Model for Always-On Enablement," you can read our eBook on the same subject!
