Definition of Sales Enablement
This blog follows Michael Gerard’s definition of Sales Enablement as posted on his blog ‘Musings on the Science and Art of Selling’:
“The delivery of the right information to the right person at the right time in the right format and in the right place to assist in moving a specific sales opportunity forward”
John Neeson also has an excellent definition:
“Channel and Sales Enablement. Provide sales (direct and channel) the tools that will give them access to the knowledge assets that support in-process sales pursuits. Foster sharing of information on a two-way basis as information learned in the field can be used to tune, refresh, and continuously improve the knowledge base. […] focusing on “searchability and findability” of information.”
Definition of Conversation Enablement
Building on Michael Gerard’s definition of Sales Enablement, Conversation Enablement can be defined as:
The delivery of the right knowledge(=information provided in context) in the right format
and the right questions to ask (“Conversations are about discovery”)
to the right person at the right time and in the right place
necessary to move a specific conversation forward.
