Fueling the Revenue Engine

Chapter 19 of Accelerating Revenue covers an essential component of Enablement: Resource Development. The real hero in the GTM resource library is often a playbook, but revenue generating teams also need things like call outlines, objection handling, competitive positioning, email templates, use cases, customer stories, and case studies. In this episode, our Notebook LM hosts “Lucas & Maren” cover how Enablement gets the right resources to the revenue teams at the right time, plus strategies to keep resources and knowledge up to date, ensure they are actionable, and stay on top of new resource development.

Chapter 17 of Accelerating Revenue takes us into the realms of coaching and mentoring. In this episode, our Notebook LM hosts “Lucas & Maren” pose a lot of questions and explore different things to consider related to coaching and mentoring programs that underpin GTM performance. They define coaching vs mentoring, the importance of each one, who the right candidates are for them, and also look at tools and resources to structure and support them. Another critical element to consider is who is doing the actual coaching and mentoring? How have they been trained in these roles? We cover those considerations and options to round out this episode.

Chapter 15 of Accelerating Revenue explores a critical element of revenue generation: Competitive Intelligence. In this episode, our Notebook LM hosts “Lucas & Maren” cover how to best plan for and deliver competitive intelligence training to your GTM teams, including the importance of using data to inform priorities, topics to cover, information to include, depth of training, the importance of confidentiality, and creating a regular cadence for review and delivery that ensures your program stays current. We even include step by step guidance to start implementing your strategy!

They also touch on data, reporting, and Enablement’s cross-functional leadership role in building, rolling out, and integrating a new process.
