Sales Enablement SaaS software market trends and acquisitions during COVID-19

Screen Shot 2023-01-17 at 2.18.02 pm

The first acquisitions in the Sales Enablement space that I’m aware of being announced in COVID-19 times (See my earlier post):

Axiom Sales Kinetics axiomsaleskinetics.com @AxiomSales @justaskaxiom (AXIOM SFD axiomsfd.com @AXIOMSFD acquired!) 18-Jun-2020, Axiom Sales Kinetics announced major rebrand, restructuring & new product offering under the leadership of its founder & CEO, Bob Nicols, after an asset only purchase of Dallas-based AXIOM SFD (Axiom Sales Force Development) in February 2020. Their Salesforce.com apps used to improve sales coaching & sales training; on demand in real time. Since 2013 they used to create native sales enablement apps for Salesforce.com. Dallas, Texas / Jacksonville, FL.

7-May-2020, Conga conga.com @CongaHQ was acquired by Apttus which had been acquired by Thoma Bravo on Sep 4, 2018.

@Napp_dk acquired by @Templafy (announced 18-May-2020):

“Danish start-up Templafy announced that it plans to acquire Copenhagen-based B2B sales enablement platform Napp. The news comes after Templafy closed $25m in Series C funding at the end of April. […] Templafy […] aims to solve the problem of “document anarchy”, ensuring consistency across all of a company’s documents, presentations and emails. The start-up automates compliance in business documents, with the goal of eliminating wasted administrative time.”

https://www.americaninno.com/chicago/inno-news-chicago/showpad-lays-off-52-employees-globally-18-in-chicago/

“[…] Showpad, a Chicago and Belgium-based sales enablement company, […] confirmed to Chicago Inno that it laid off 52 employees […] 18 of which were based in the Windy City. The tech company said layoffs affected its Go To Market teams across its offices in Chicago, Belgium, London, Munich, San Francisco, Portland and Poland. About 400 employees remain at the company globally, 160 of which are in the Chicago office. “This decision was triggered by the economic downturn following the global spread of COVID-19,” said Showpad co-founder and CEO Pieterjan Bouten […] Over the last two years, Bouten said Showpad tripled its revenue and in 2019 alone, hired about 200 new employees. Showpad, which has 1,200 clients, typically sees annual revenue of more than $60 million, Bouten said. […] Showpad […] acquired LearnCore, a Chicago startup that made sales training software, for $50 million in 2018.”

13-Jan-2022Highspot, a sales enablement platform that increases the performance of sales teams, raised $248M in Series F funding. Highspot’s post-money valuation is now $3.5Bn, which has quadrupled in the past two years. The company’s total funding is now $648M. New investors B Capital Group & D1 Capital Partners led the round with participation from existing investors: ICONIQ Growth, Madrona Venture Group, Salesforce Ventures, Sapphire, & Tiger Global Management.

One metric in this space to watch now for COVID-19 impact is churn in SaaS; especially when you consider how many new customers you have to onboard for every 1% of your customers that don’t renew: Maybe double or triple the number that left needs to be onboarded to make up for lost revenue (depending on the account size)?

Please check the following numbers for yourself. I took them from this post from 4-May-2020: EBITDA margins in SaaS are terrible

As always, Scott at chiefmartec.com has some great thinking on The paradox of simultaneous MarTech consolidation and expansion.

In the 12-May-2020 post MarTech app platform dynamics he took that a bit further. It is the first time I see all the different trends and buzzwords called out for contributing or taking away from the number of players in the MarTech market:

Top market players and geographic regions in Sales Enablement

Still trying to predict the impact of COVID-19 on the b2b Sales Enablement software space (Google searches for the term seem flat) I spoke with one of the industry veterans:

“I recall the consolidation and reduction of SaaS at different points in time, but recall one of our best years was the downturn of 2007/08 where companies moved from on premise to SaaS simply because their IT simply couldn’t build new systems and they felt SaaS was a better, fast and cheaper option. Also, as in today, when buyers are forced to tighten budgets which is happening overnight now they will need sales advisors to advance their purchases. B2B enablement services are sticky once a company gets beyond it being a marketing content warehouse and they build in enablement use cases like onboarding and product launch support. The content and taxonomy that exists in an intelligent center remains key and can’t be replaced with simple file storage including a Sharepoint deployment. […]”

Sales Enablement market size research

2024 B2B Sales Enablement market size, growth rate, overview and book

I received my copy of Pam Didner’s excellent book Effective Sales Enablement.

I’m honoured to be mentioned in it.

Thank you Pam Didner and everyone who was part of the start of my journey in this space at Nortel and BizSphere.

In discussion forums of the SALES ENABLEMENT SOCIETY sesociety.org and on Quora I see the ongoing demand for numbers on the market size of the Sales Enablement market.

28-Jun-2018 when Upland Software announced their acquisition of RO Innovation, they called it…

…the $400+ million annual sales enablement software market

… which is quoting Travis, T. (2017, September 6): Sales Enablement Platforms Expand the SalesTech Stack.

Screen Shot 2023-04-17 at 2.34.23 pm

Obviously, there are many ways to define the boundaries of this market.

Here’s my definition of Sales Enablement.

The Gartner Report: Market Guide for Digital Content Management for Sales published 17-Nov-2017 sees…

…“Digital content management for sales (DCMS)” […] vendors […] “generate $423.5 million in revenue, up by approximately 16% from the previous year.”

In 2017 (22-June-2017), Sales Engagement Platforms (SEP) were a $780M/year market, and “expected to be worth $5B by 2021” (Aragon Research).

My table using start & end points from Aragon Research
My table using start & end points from Aragon Research

Obviously, the Sales Engagement Platform market is different from the Sales Enablement Technology [or Sales Enablement Platform] market.

However, it is interesting to take Aragon’s numbers to see what growth rate they are assuming.

If they assumed a linear growth rate, then they are assuming a market growth rate of 59.12% a year. (I saw sources that say it is 10.6% growth per year, now in 2023.)

If not assuming a linear growth rate, then their model might look something like this:

As you can see from the links further down below I’m trying to track both the growth & consolidation of this market.

Ignoring detailed revenue numbers for Salesforce, Hubspot, Adobe, Microsoft, IBM, Oracle, Velocify Inc… and Jive Software; here’s my current Sales Enablement market overview by revenue.

[Based on Crunchbase data, but very likely to be outdated.] Please help me improve this via my quest leveraging Questmate.com:

sales_enablement_martech_market_2024

The first ones are not in order of revenue.

My total count is 186 vendors.

The revenue shown in the graph above (I took out Enhatch) is a lot more than the $400M from Travis, T. (6-Sep-2017): Sales Enablement Platforms Expand the SalesTech Stack.

I added some to account for the elephants in the software market and some for the very long ‘long tail’ of small vendors. Hence, you get to more than the $780M Aragon Research has for the so-called Sales Engagement Platform market. I know many companies consider their Microsoft SharePoint document repository as their Sales Enablement portal:

  • meta (Metaverse, Meta Quest Pro, Oculus, Workplace by Facebook, Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, etc) Workplace – marketed as Workplace from Facebook & formerly Workplace by Facebook: An online collaborative software tool developed by Meta Platforms)
  • Salesforce (Slack, Salesforce CRM Content / Chatter / Einstein / AppExchange / Trailhead / ‘Sales Cloud’ files & libraries / Slack / LevelJump formerly known as Lurniture)
  • Alphabet: Google Bard (AI) / Google Cloud Platform (G Suite / Drive / Docs / Sheets / Slides / Keep / Forms / Sites / Currents/Spaces /  programmablesearchengine.google.com)
  • SAP (Callidus / iCentera / Litmos, LMS, Emarsys, Signavio) CRM, CPQ, CLM, Marketing Automation, …
  • Hubspot (Kemvi)
  • DemandScience (PureB2B, Klarity, Internal Results, Leadiro, Tidings, BIOMES, Airborne App Airborneapp airborneapp.io @Airborneapp_io)
  • Adobe Systems (Marketo + ToutApp + Figma + Workfront + Adobe Digital Publishing Suite, now part of Adobe Experience Manager Mobile)
  • Microsoft (metaverse, Microsoft Office, Microsoft Loop, Office Delve, Teams, SharePoint, Dynamics, Yammer, LinkedIn, LinkedIn Learning, investment in OpenAI / partnership with ChatGTP, New Bing search, etc…)
  • IBM (IBM Smarter Workforce former kenexa.com + Vivisimo Velocity Platform = IBM InfoSphere Data Explorer)
  • Oracle (Oracle CPQ Cloud former BigMachines Inc + InQuira)
  • Velocify Inc. ($50M in revenue annually; competes with SalesHood)
  • Jive Software (used to have $203.5M in revenue annually, now $38M?)
  • Zoho
  • ServiceNow, Inc. (Attivio, Loom Systems, Passage AI, Sweagle, Montrêal-based Element AI)

This blog turns 14 years old in 2023. 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 $11.06Bn USD in annual revenue in 2024, 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.

Here are my complete lists:
