Key Takeaways:


An enablement team has to take on a range of personas. Analogous to a circus troupe, this covers presenting, entertaining, balancing (between stakeholders), juggling (multiple initiatives), the list goes on…


The logistics of enablement is often overlooked, particularly when it comes to onboarding. Aligning team members to initiatives rather than functional groups can avoid burnout.


Parts of your enablement strategy can be at different stages of maturity, across tooling, onboarding and content. Different approaches and skills are required at different stages.


Not every piece of information needs to be delivered as a training session. Enablement are there to protect the time of customer-facing reps, which means filtering and condensing key messages.

Operator to investor: Lessons from both sides of the table with Matthias Hilpert

Key Takeaways:

You have a unique birds-eye view of the organisation in Enablement; feed what you learn back to Sales Managers. This is a great way to build credibility and you’ll need their buy-in to get initiatives rolled out effectively. 
 

Enablement is everything from awareness through to training, not everything that reps need to be aware of needs to be delivered as a training session, it’s a spectrum.
 

If you’ve got a good mechanism for capturing feedback from your team, you can anticipate and get ahead of problems as a company. Being able to adapt quickly is a real advantage when it comes to Enablement strategy.


Nobody is a master of everything in Enablement. It’s about figuring out what personalities you have in the team - get the right people on the bus, then figure out how to best use them.
