Tamara Schenk is a Research Director at the MHI Research Institute focussed on Sales Enablement. She is one of the key thought leaders and influencers in this rapidly evolving space.

During this week's podcast Tamara shares her perspectives on Sales Enablement. She shares how she has seen Sales Enablement evolve from a highly fragmented function with disconnected programs to a much more integrated selling systems approach in the recent years.

• Map your sales execution to your business strategy
• Define which Sales Enablement Services you want to offer
• Measure your impact through Sales Enablement Operations
• Focus on reinforcement, adoption and change management

We also touch on the million dollar question, to who should Sales Enablement report in the organisation? Sales,  Marketing or ... ?
