Quotes: 

“When companies and revenue leaders, GTM leaders, think about enablement, right? There’s the old sales enablement model, which should have long been retired, and then we’d start talking about revenue enablement and that made some sense.

“I just don’t think you can really be effective in any kind of a complex sales deal or you’re trying to sell any kind of a complex solution without that deep understanding of the customer.

  “What we think doesn’t matter. Those people need to get that. It does not matter what we think.”

 “But to be fair, a lot of companies maybe don’t have that information. And the reason they don’t have it is I’m going to go back to the customer journey enablement that once the handoff from sales happens, there’s no knowledge transfer. Effective sellers are gathering. Right. Think about the kind of discovery we’re talking about. Okay. What’s the gap? What are the impacts to the business? You now have a baseline and you now have success metrics.”
