Listen "#11 - Anthony Parker on How Sales Leaders And Sales Enablement Can Work Together Effectively To Get Results - Sales Enabled"
Episode Synopsis
In episode 11, Dan is speaking with Anthony Parker, a revenue leader helping companies launch or accelerate profitable growth in the UK, Europe, and EMEA. Anthony is MD in EMEA for the sales enablement platform Mindtickle and so is in an interesting position when it comes to sales enablement, both needing to enable his own sales teams as well as selling this as a service into other businesses. His perspective on how sales enablement teams should be best setup and engaged is an important lesson for all sales leaders and sales enablement practitioners to understand.
Specifically in the conversation, Dan and Anthony dive into the following topics:
Why a leader of a sales enablement company pokes holes at the sales enablement industry
Why the phrase “let’s do some enablement” gets on his nerves so much
Why companies should consider moving all teams under the umbrella of Revenue
Why Sales Enablement needs to evolve and stop being seen as a cost centre
How salespeople can reclaim their time and where they should invest those extra hours
How sales leaders need to work with their sales enablement team to get the best results
Why sales enablement needs to do less, go deeper, and measure impact
This is a really interesting conversation from a senior sales leader working within the sales enablement industry and gives real insights into how sales organisations can best work with their enablement teams to generate the results they want.
