To me, there’s never been a better time to be a sales enablement professional. It’s a rapidly growing area and while there’s a lack of publicly available sales enablement statistics or indeed, widely adopted best practices and standards, this is due, largely to the fact, that many of us are figuring out exactly what sales enablement is, means and does. Below are 10 statistics about the state of sales enablement and are accompanied by light commentary: 1.

While each company, context and industry is different, I believe that there are some fundamentals that should form the blueprint of any sales enablement strategy. As there’s such a dearth of sales enablement materials we shouldn’t be afraid to borrow, adapt and reuse successful tools from other fields. Sales

Sales enablement is a rapidly emerging, but immature function. Many companies are investing in the creation of sales enablement teams, but as they’re so new, there’s a distinct lack of thought leadership, standardised measurement and best practices available. This fuels ambiguity about what sales enablement is and the value it creates for a business. Put simply, as a sales organisation grows, the sales enablement team must evolve alongside it.

I lead sales enablement for HubSpot out of Dublin, Ireland and my role encompasses sales content, sales training, deal support and sales productivity.

The sales enablement industry has taken tremendous strides in recent years, but by most measures, it's still a relatively immature function. While there’s a talented and growing body of practitioners that are doing sterling work to advance the industry and sales performance, for the most part, there’s a distinct lack of standardised sales enablement best practices, planning models and frameworks. Does the sales rep (or reps) have it within them to get better?

The more I think about it, the clearer it becomes - strategic communication is an integral part of successful sales enablement. And the success (or failure) of a sales enablement function is intertwined with its ability to influence a sales organisation and change behaviour.

While innovators and early adopters are embracing the opportunities afforded by bots, the fact remains that too much work within sales and marketing is still manual - too few teams are thinking of ways to automate, eliminate or optimise. With this in mind I built and launched a sales enablement bot for HubSpot sales reps. Sales
