One of the main challenges for B2B firms is integrated sales and marketing. At NIM, we break down all the silos and take a holistic approach to revenue generation. This means your Fractional CMO will talk to your clients, partners and teams to really understand your customer journey, and partner with your sales and customer success teams to provide the sales enablement materials needed for client acquisition, retention and upselling.
B2B sales enablement is about much more than just arming your sales team with a product catalog and a list of potential leads. It’s about giving them the resources, tools, and knowledge they need to succeed in an increasingly competitive and complex sales environment.
Sales enablement is particularly crucial for businesses dealing with complex sales processes, like those involving long sales cycles, technical products or services, and large buying committees.
It helps ensure that your sales team is prepared to effectively engage with informed and discerning buyers, addressing their unique needs and challenges, and guiding them through the decision-making process.
Effective sales enablement strategies can be a game-changer when it comes to shortening sales cycles and improving win rates.
By providing your sales team with targeted content, training, and tools aligned with your customer’s journey, sales enablement helps to address potential customer questions and objections, speed up the decision-making process, and ultimately close deals faster. It equips your team to move prospects through the funnel efficiently, leading to increased win rates.
Your Fractional CMO will work closely with your sales teams to break down silos and understand the customer journey from multiple perspectives – not just sales or marketing.
Once your Fractional CMO understands exactly what’s working and not working for your sales teams, they will work with your teams to create the support materials they need. This could include:
Educational, trust and credibility marketing materials
Technical product, service and data sheets
Materials for procurement, IT and engineering
Presentation and demo support materials
Templates for emails, presentations and more
If your sales process includes distributors or channel partners, we’ll work with you to create a communication and marketing support system to meet their unique needs, including any training or onboarding materials or portals.
We understand the importance of integrating sales enablement with marketing efforts for maximum impact. That’s why our approach involves working closely with your sales team to ensure that the content we produce aligns with your overall marketing strategy and messaging.
By integrating sales enablement and marketing, we can create a seamless customer journey, where marketing activities nurture leads and warm them up for the sales team, and sales activities provide feedback to refine marketing strategies.
