A Systems Thinking Approach to Sales Performance Improvement
Mike Kunkle
September 2018
Agenda
How to establish a Sales Enablement function
that adds value and evolve toward a
Performance Consulting approach:
• Share and discuss the current state of Sales
Enablement from multiple perspectives
• Share and discuss my “Building Blocks of Sales
Enablement”
• Share and discuss two systems that support Sales
Readiness & Enablement
• Share ideas on Performance Consulting and discuss
how to further evolve, over time
• Point out the Appendix (28 pages full of concepts,
reading/links, and materials to review).
Current State of Sales Enablement
- Multiple Perspectives -
Sales Enablement (Un)Defined
• CSO Insights: A strategic, collaborative discipline designed to increase predictable sales results
by providing consistent, scalable enablement services that allow customer-facing professionals
and their managers to add value in every customer interaction.
• IDC: Getting the right information into the hands of the right sellers at the right time and place,
and in the right format, to move a sales opportunity forward.
• Forrester: Sales enablement is a strategic, ongoing process that equips all client-facing
employees with the ability to consistently and systematically have a valuable conversation with
the right set of customer stakeholders at each stage of the customer's problem-solving life cycle
to optimize the return of investment of the selling system.
• SiriusDecisions: Sales has the skills, knowledge, process expertise and access to assets to
maximize every buyer interaction. This outcome is executed in three primary areas sales talent
management (attract, onboard, optimize) sales asset management (aggregate, create, manage)
and sales communications management (govern, deliver, advocate).
• Gartner: The activities, systems, processes and information that support and promote
knowledge-based sales interactions with client and prospects.
• Aberdeen: A strategic alignment of resources and actions to produce effective, efficient sales
operations.
• TOPO: Sales enablement is the process of providing the sales organization with the information,
content, and tools that help sales people sell more effectively. The foundation of sales
enablement is to provide sales people with what they need to successfully engage the buyer
throughout the buying process.

Sales Enablement (Un)Defined
Sales Enablement Community of ATD
The Association for Talent Development defines Sales Enablement as:
The mechanism responsible for collaborating across functions to promote sales success
through:
• talent selection
• talent development
• tool & process improvement
• coaching
• incentive & compensation design
Note: In addition to collaboration, which is key in sales enablement, there are three other foundational competency clusters
from ATD’s World-Class Sales Competency Model that make up the base for all roles within the sales ecosystem (including
sales enablement): solution, insight, and effectiveness.

  • 3. Current State of Sales Enablement - Multiple Perspectives -
  • 4. Sales Enablement (Un)Defined • CSO Insights: A strategic, collaborative discipline designed to increase predictable sales results by providing consistent, scalable enablement services that allow customer-facing professionals and their managers to add value in every customer interaction. • IDC: Getting the right information into the hands of the right sellers at the right time and place, and in the right format, to move a sales opportunity forward. • Forrester: Sales enablement is a strategic, ongoing process that equips all client-facing employees with the ability to consistently and systematically have a valuable conversation with the right set of customer stakeholders at each stage of the customer's problem-solving life cycle to optimize the return of investment of the selling system. • SiriusDecisions: Sales has the skills, knowledge, process expertise and access to assets to maximize every buyer interaction. This outcome is executed in three primary areas sales talent management (attract, onboard, optimize) sales asset management (aggregate, create, manage) and sales communications management (govern, deliver, advocate). • Gartner: The activities, systems, processes and information that support and promote knowledge-based sales interactions with client and prospects. • Aberdeen: A strategic alignment of resources and actions to produce effective, efficient sales operations. • TOPO: Sales enablement is the process of providing the sales organization with the information, content, and tools that help sales people sell more effectively. The foundation of sales enablement is to provide sales people with what they need to successfully engage the buyer throughout the buying process.
