Imagine a world where your sales team consistently meets their targets, armed with the skills and knowledge they need to close deals effectively. That world is entirely possible, and it all starts with sales enablement training. To empower your sales force and achieve exceptional results, we’ve compiled three best practices that leading organizations swear by.

1. Customize your training approach to your team’s needs

Every sales team is unique, with different strengths, weaknesses, and target market dynamics. To get the most out of your sales enablement training, tailor your approach to align with your team’s specific needs. “Our sales enablement programs have evolved over time, and we’ve found that customization is key in helping our salespeople reach their full potential,” shares a leading L&D professional.

Identify the areas that need improvement and design training programs accordingly. For instance, if your team struggles with presenting product information, develop a module focused on effective product demonstrations.

2. Use a blended learning approach

In today’s fast-paced world, your sales reps need training that is engaging, accessible, and flexible. A blended learning approach combines the best of traditional classroom training with online learning, creating a comprehensive learning experience that caters to different learning styles.

“We’ve found that incorporating a mix of online courses, in-person workshops, and on-the-job coaching has led to higher levels of engagement and retention among our sales teams,” says a senior L&D specialist. In addition, using a learning management system (LMS) allows your team members to access training materials anytime, anywhere and track their progress.

3. Empower your sales reps with the right tools & resources

Effective sales enablement training is not just about imparting knowledge; it’s also about equipping your sales reps with the tools and resources they need to succeed. This can range from sales playbooks and CRM systems to product guides and customer testimonials.

An experienced L&D manager notes, “Our sales reps have greatly benefited from having access to a constantly updated library of resources. This enables them to stay informed about our products, services, and industry trends, which helps them build credibility with customers and close deals more effectively.”
