BIO
TIFFANI BOVA - Salesforce

What is required for business growth in this time of digital transformation? How does sales enablement integrate into the vision for business revenue generation, not only for sales teams, but for any customer facing team members who engage with customers (prospects / current / past)? What’s more, how can we extend the use of tools developed in support of sales enablement to those same teams? This session will review the pressures companies are experiencing and what their teams need to be equipped in order to drive the business forward.

Paul Butterfield - Vonage

Session – A well designed and executed sales enablement strategy should have a measurable impact on sales results and revenue. Often the challenge is identifying and implementing the right elements, priorities and measurements that will have that impact. This session will cover how to use the strategy mapping and balanced scorecard concepts developed by Kaplan & Norton to develop and measure an effective sales enablement program that will drive top line revenue.

Bio
Mayme Blanton - Rackspace

Session – We all know the holy grail of sales is predictable and consistent execution. But in this quest for steady and repeatable, many organizations are putting too much focus on process, playbooks and strategy and not enough on agility. 

That was the challenge Rackspace was facing. Over the past year, as part of Rackspace’s America’s Transformation, the sales enablement team has equipped both sales reps and managers with real-time activity data and coaching, making it easier to adapt to changing buyer needs with speed. They’ve established guardrails, removed blind spots, and have created an operating cadence that ensures accountability. The result is an increase in deal capacity; reduced time to close; improved pipeline quality; and a massive improvement in activity visibility. 

In this session, Mayme will discuss their experience and provide tips to help Sales Enablement leaders create an agile and truly data-driven sales organization. This transformation not only up-levels your own positions from a support function to a strategic component of Sales Ops but will also play a critical role in improving overall sales performance and execution.

Session  –

This is based on real world experiences. 

Whether you are part of a young Sales Enablement organization in the process of establishing credibility to gain that often-nebulous executive “buy-in”, or part of an established organization looking to drive continued momentum with your Sales organization, establishing that credibility with senior executives is no easy task. 

In this session you will be taken on a journey that includes the sharing of strategies and tactics that were used to establish critical relationships resulting in new levels of executive collaboration and engagement that transformed one Sales Enablement organization from a relatively unknown entity into a critical and globally recognized function within a Fortune 100 company. From one practitioner to another, learn and discuss real-life strategies and tactics that you can adopt right away, including:

  • Knowing where start
  • Moving beyond agreement to engagement
  • Driving global relationships and credibility
  • Maintaining relationship momentum

    Marnie Christenson -RingCentral

    Session -Channel Sales are a growing, cost-effective strategy for many sales organizations. Channel sales partners allow you to exponentially increase your sales force and reach prospects you might not have been able to reach directly. But they, like a Direct Sales Team, need to be enabled – not only to bring in leads, but first and foremost to be thinking of and recommending your company first (without the incentive of a regular paycheck and benefits). And as enablers, you’ve got to work toward these goals WITHOUT letting your inside sales strategy leak to your competitor who your partner might also sell…this is the story of Channel Enablement in RingCentral.
