Updated: Aug 30, 2023


In today's blog post, we're going to share with you about sales enablement platforms in general, and in particular, introduce you to one of the most outstanding companies on the market that offers sales enablement technologies: Showpad.


Sales enablement is the process of helping salespeople sell more effectively by providing them with the information and content they need to do their jobs. It can be used by both small and large businesses, and it helps them increase their revenue by using data to make strategic decisions. Sales enablement takes an integrated approach to the development and deployment of a company’s sales process, enabling all members of the organization (from sales to support staff) to deliver and maintain consistent customer experiences. The goal of sales enablement is to allow companies to see where they need to improve or optimize their business processes so they can grow their revenue stream.


And why using (or even considering) sales enablement technology in today’s business?

There are many significant reasons behind but mostly are the unignorable essential roles in any business’s daily activities and their ability to thrive. To mention a few advantages, it helps you manage your sales pipeline more effectively and allows you to get better feedback from customers about your products or services. Moreover, it makes life easier for sales reps to follow up with leads after initial contact has occurred between them and potential clients/customers (this means less time wasted on follow-up conversations). Lastly, it assesses your previous performance and assist you with efficient resources allocation, by letting you know how much money each sale will generate before committing resources toward making those sales happen.
