Sales Enablement

Salespeople are natural-born storytellers. But to do their best work, they first need a powerful story to tell.

In practice, this begins with a discovery process aimed at generating a detailed, customer-led (vs. product-led) narrative—which drives the creation of an organization-wide messaging framework and design standards.

Salespeople spend an average of 40% of their time developing content.
