Is your sales team getting
the message?
An ambitious sales strategy only works if everybody is on board. Effective sales enablement aligns your whole team around one message — helping them adopt beliefs and behaviors that actually accomplish your goals. Because growth is not an option without adoption.
Adopt a philosophy of selling on value
Selling on price is a losing game. When your team fully understands your organization and its goals, they sell company value instead of product value. To get them there, you need three things.
- Leadership driving it (providing accountability with vision, mission, and values)
- The market expecting it (creating demand with positioning that’s believable, ownable, and supportable)
- Your salesforce believing it (getting buy-in to create better experiences for reps and customers)
Adopt a habit of pursuing opportunities
If you’re not getting the results you want from your sales team, they probably don’t understand your customers. You can help them target the right prospects in the right ways by communicating:
- Who they’re talking to (deep insights into customers’ hearts and minds)
- How to recognize opportunities (training materials that leverage helpful diagrams, videos, infographics, and more)
- How to convince the customer (calculators, case studies, and conversation starters that make sure reps go in prepared)
Adopt a system of doing things cohesively
Every sales rep has their own way of doing things. Some win new business. Some maintain relationships. And ultimately it seems like their success comes down to individual talent. But you can lead them to more consistent wins by giving your team:
- A sense of ownership (directly influencing the creation of sales materials)
- Evidence their peers are on board (collecting and sharing best practices)
- Constant reinforcement (keeping key initiatives top of mind)
