Sales technology analyst Nancy Nardin, in a unique position to understand and clear the technical fog of sales enablement in this interview with Brian Williams.
Williams asks, "We’re in the middle of a massive hype cycle when it comes to enablement technology. How can sales leaders make sense of today’s technology landscape? How can teams get focused on driving lasting sales productivity with the help of technology?" Brevet partner Brian Williams explores the issues and more with sales technology analyst Nancy Nardin. Nardin discusses:
- There are two types of sales enablement
- Why marketing and sales management seem to have an unjustified inferiority complex about sales enablement
- She says, "Don't start with the technology"
- If sales enablement is your goal, start with a capability gaps analysis not tech
