The EnableBoost Approach to Effective Sales Enablement

At EnableBoost, we believe that successful enablement requires a strategic, well-executed, and continuously optimized approach. Our methodology is designed to empower your sales and partner teams, ensuring they have the tools, knowledge, and support needed to drive outstanding performance.

Here’s a detailed look at our 3-step approach to enablement and how we expand on these steps to deliver exceptional results.

Step 1: Strategy Development

Define Objectives

The foundation of any enablement program is a clear understanding of your business goals. We begin by collaborating with you to define your enablement objectives, ensuring they align with your overall business strategy.

Conduct Needs Assessment

We conduct a thorough needs assessment to identify the specific requirements of your sales and partner teams. This involves several key steps:

• Interviews and Surveys: Gather insights from stakeholders, sales leaders, and partners to understand their challenges and needs.

• Performance Analysis: Review current sales performance data to identify gaps and opportunities for improvement.

• Competency Mapping: Determine the skills and knowledge required for success in each role.

• Resource Audit: Assess existing training materials and tools to identify areas for enhancement or replacement.

Develop a Customized Plan

Based on our assessment, we develop a comprehensive enablement plan tailored to your business needs. This plan includes detailed strategies for onboarding, ongoing training, content development, and performance metrics.

Example from Our Clients: For a client like Braze, EnableBoost developed a tailored enablement plan that aligned with their rapid growth objectives, focusing on onboarding new GSI partners and continuously upskilling their sales team to handle complex, multi-channel marketing solutions.

Step 2: Execution

Create Engaging Content

Content is the cornerstone of effective enablement. We create high-quality, engaging materials that are relevant to your team’s needs.

This includes:

• Playbooks: Comprehensive guides on sales processes, techniques, and best practices.

• Training Modules: Detailed lessons covering product knowledge, sales strategies, and customer interaction skills.

• Case Studies: Real-world examples showcasing successful implementations and outcomes.

• Product Documentation: In-depth information on product features, benefits, and usage.

Deliver Training Programs

We design and deliver customized training programs that are interactive and hands-on. Common modalities include:

• eLearning: Self-paced online courses accessible anytime, anywhere.

• Virtual Instructor-Led Training (vILT): Live online training sessions conducted by expert instructors.

• Instructor-Led Training (ILT): In-person training sessions for immersive learning experiences.

• Workshops: Interactive sessions focusing on specific skills or topics.

• Videos: Engaging video content to supplement training materials.

Implement Enablement Tools

Utilizing the right tools is essential for streamline processes and enhancing productivity. We help you implement and integrate key enablement tools such as:

• Learning Management Systems (LMS): Platforms for delivering, tracking, and managing training programs.

• Content Management Systems (CMS): Tools for organizing and managing enablement content.

• Sales Enablement Platforms: Comprehensive tools for content management, communication, and analytics.

Ongoing Support

Our execution doesn’t stop at delivery. We provide ongoing support to ensure your enablement programs run smoothly. This includes regular check-ins, troubleshooting, and continuous improvements based on feedback.

Example from Our Clients: For Ping, we created and delivered a series of enablement programs that included interactive workshops and hands-on partner enablement certifications. This approach not only improved their partners' knowledge but also boosted their confidence in selling complex security solutions.

Step 3: Analytics and Insights

Track Performance Metrics

We use advanced analytics to track the performance of your enablement programs. Key performance indicators (KPIs) such as engagement levels, certifications achieved, and sales performance are monitored to assess the effectiveness of your initiatives.

This includes:

• Salesforce Dashboards: Visual representations of key metrics to track sales performance and enablement impact.

• LMS Reports: Detailed reports on training completion rates, assessment scores, and user engagement.

Gather Feedback

Regular feedback from your teams is crucial for continuous improvement. We conduct surveys, feedback sessions, and interviews to gather insights on what’s working and where improvements can be made.

Data-Driven Adjustments

Based on the data and feedback collected, we make data-driven adjustments to your enablement programs. This ensures that your strategies remain relevant and effective, continuously driving improvement and growth.

Example from Our Clients

With Braze, we implemented a feedback loop that involved quarterly surveys and performance reviews. This process provided valuable insights that helped us refine their enablement strategies, leading to sustained growth and higher partner satisfaction.
