  • Asynchro-What?? The Communication Hack That Transforms the Way Your Team Sells- July 2021

    Feeling the zoom fatigue? Finding it difficult to stay focused and retain knowledge from your daily barrage of meetings? After 2+ years of “shifting” from in-person to virtual, 78% of leaders say they’re on “collaborative overload” and are seeking more quiet time.

    Sales enablement practitioners are looking for ways to adapt their services from just “working virtually” to “working smart.” They’re beginning to find answers in leveraging technology and asynchronous communication together.

    What’s "asynchronous"? It’s communication that is not simultaneous or time bound (think email or recorded video). And in 2021, its role in the transformation of enablement services is broad and wide-ranging.

    Join Allego’s  Jonathan Carlson and Mary Charles as they walk you through how leading companies are leveraging an asynchronous approach to sales training, kickoffs, and other enablement programs and strategies that you can put into action.

    You’ll discover:

    - Brand-new research on the current state of asynchronous communication

    - How to use time-shifted video to foster collaboration and best-practice sharing

    - The antidote to zoom fatigue and how to get max value from meetings and SKOs

    - How to scale the virtual feedback and coaching processes

    - How to capture and institutionalize the tribal knowledge that drives revenue

    • Learn the Critical Steps Needed to Successfully Enable the Most Vital Part of your Sales Enablement Program: Your Sales Managers

      Sales managers might be the missing link to your sales enablement success. “Get sales management onboard” is the primary response from sales enablement practitioners when asked about their biggest challenge. It’s also one of the key findings from our research during the Sales Enablement Annual Conference this past year and aligns with the many practitioners we speak with every day.

      Effectively enabling your sales managers is vital to the success of your sales enablement program. Successful adoption of a sales enablement program requires sales manager support and involvement before you initiate your programs for sales reps. Sales managers are essential to this process and need a holistic view of sales enablement programs to provide impactful support to sales reps.

      In this webinar, we provide you with a sound framework to get sales management support for sales enablement programs - an essential practice that many organizations overlook entirely and one that others still fail to execute well.

      - Explore why sales manager support is critically important. Sales Enablement supports the sales team to move buyers to a decision point. While individual sellers are a primary customer, the sales managers are critical stakeholders as you seek to elevate their team’s performances.

      - Share the tactics BTC uses internally to gain Sales Management buy-in (How we create value and effectively enable our Sales Managers, Where our clients have success and areas they have challenges, How to effectively incorporate a sales manager framework within your organization)

      - Discuss why managing change can be a hidden challenge. If you create the best Sales Enablement program in the world, and no one uses it, does it help your business? As humans, we are mostly risk-averse and will not embrace change unless we have to do so. Your Sales Manager’s support is a critical lever many overlooks to incentivize the new behaviors sales enablement is trying to bring into reality.
