AI has reinvented sales enablement, making it faster and more efficient. Large language models (LLMs) now generate sales assets, training, and support materials on-demand, significantly reducing the time sales reps spend searching for content. This automation extends to real-time sales coaching and the handling of repetitive tasks like updating Salesforce notes and responding to compliance questionnaires.

To elevate AI's benefits, enablement managers should:

1. Create an enablement knowledge base: Store all sales assets in one place and keep them updated.

2. Focus on text-based content: Ensure materials are easy for AI to read and process.

3. Integrate AI training sessions: Regularly train sales teams on how to effectively use AI tools.

4. Utilize AI analytics: Continuously monitor AI performance, the impact the training is having on SDR performance and adjust strategies based on data-driven insights.

5. Encourage collaboration: Foster communication between sales and AI developers to refine tools and address specific needs.

These steps ensure AI tools can effectively support sales teams, enhancing productivity and efficiency.

Salesforce and Workday have partnered to launch an AI employee service agent, integrating their platforms to improve productivity. The AI agent automates tasks, offers personalized support, and provides data-driven insights. This collaboration aims to improve employee experiences and operational efficiency, reflecting the growing trend towards hybrid work environments.

Expanding globally through strategic partnerships can significantly enhance revenue by tapping into new markets, but it requires meticulous planning and execution. Eric Buck, a seasoned global sales executive, emphasizes the importance of understanding cultural barriers, forecasting market potential, and assembling a strong partner team. Key strategies include choosing the right partner segments, simplifying the sales process for partners, and setting clear expectations. Engaging partners at every step and iterating based on their feedback are crucial for sustained success.

To ensure a successful global partner program, companies should focus on creating a collaborative environment that values partner input. By leveraging local expertise and maintaining open communication, businesses can make incremental adjustments that lead to substantial long-term gains. Buck's extensive experience underscores the value of strategic partnerships in driving growth and innovation.

Integrating social selling with sales enablement is crucial in today's digital-first business landscape. This approach involves aligning content strategies with social platforms, providing social media training, implementing social listening tools, and developing a social selling playbook. Successful integration refines customer engagement and drives better sales outcomes.
