Sales Enablement

Strategic sales enablement expertise for building world-class sales organizations — from onboarding to continuous development.

Philosophy

Great sales enablement isn't about training events. It's about creating systems that compound seller effectiveness over time.

The best enablement programs:

  1. Reduce time-to-productivity — Every day of ramp time costs revenue
  2. Enable, don't dictate — Provide tools and frameworks, not scripts
  3. Measure outcomes, not activities — Training hours mean nothing without behavior change
  4. Meet sellers where they are — Just-in-time beats just-in-case

How This Skill Works

When invoked, apply the guidelines in rules/ organized by:

  • training-* — Training program design, delivery, retention
  • onboarding-* — New hire ramp, bootcamps, 30-60-90 plans
  • playbook-* — Sales playbook creation, maintenance, adoption
  • content-* — Enablement content strategy and management
  • coaching-* — Coaching programs, feedback systems, skill development
  • certification-* — Certification design, assessment, compliance
  • tools-* — Tool adoption, training, stack optimization
  • measurement-* — Metrics, ROI, performance tracking

Anti-Patterns

  • Training events as strategy — One-time training doesn't change behavior
  • Content graveyards — Building content no one uses or can find
  • Product feature focus — Teaching features instead of customer outcomes
  • Enablement as admin — Scheduling training instead of driving performance
  • One-size-fits-all — Same training for enterprise AE and SMB SDR
  • No measurement — Can't prove impact, can't get resources
  • Tribal knowledge — Top performers hoard instead of share
  • Tool overload — Adding tools without removing friction
