this Sales Enablement blog had more visitors

In August 2019 this Sales Enablement blog already had more visitors in 2019 than in all of 2018 or in all of 2017!

Sales Enablement seems very hot as a search term. (Most of the traffic for this blog comes from organic Google search.)

LinkedIn users with Sales Enablement in their job title

I track the number of LinkedIn users with Sales Enablement in their current job title. That actually includes many employees of Sales Enablement SaaS software vendors.

This blog turns 13 years old in 2022. See the archive going back all the way to 2009.

I’m always looking for new ways to show the entire market size and the percentage breakdown of all the market players.

I see the market at $10Bn USD in annual revenue in 2023, but only if counting some of the revenue of the really large players in software that bought out smaller Sales Enablement players or those big players who offer free/freemium tools that could be used for Sales Enablement.

Very interesting to study are the vendors that are publicly listed such as Bigtincan Holdings Ltd (ASX: BTH) or Upland Software $UPLD. They have to publish their revenue numbers and organic versus inorganic (acquisition) growth.

I just added the following vendor, but probably only a small fraction of their revenue of $11M should be counted for the Sales Enablement SaaS market.

Notion notion.so @NotionHQ all-in-one workspace – for notes, tasks, wikis, & databases. Note-taking & collaboration application for your notes, tasks, wikis, & databases. $11M in estimated revenue annually. Competes with Quip, Airtable, & Simplenote. San Francisco, CA, USA. Notion said 8-Sep-2021 it acquired Automate.io, an Indian startup that builds connectivity & integrations with 200+ services, as the workplace productivity startup looks to accelerate its product expansion to become more compelling for tens of millions of individuals & businesses that are increasingly moving to digital collaborative tools. The San Francisco-headquartered startup, last valued at $2Bn in private markets, said the acquisition of the Hyderabad-headquartered Automate will help Notion understand the know-how of — & leverage — the 200 integrations the Indian startup has developed to give users and enterprises alike the ability to bring their workflows into Notion.
