Marketing and sales have evolved quite a lot over the years, and so has the consumer. Businesses today have to woo clients that are more savvy, well-informed and skeptical than in past generations. It is no longer the case that creating a quality product is enough to get you over the line. Success comes from building a brand that convinces clients to commit to a purchase decision.
This is where sales enablement comes in. For all the effort and resources a company pours into content marketing, sales enablement should be the end goal. Teams have to devise an effective sales content strategy which will help them become more effective at converting leads.
How can you create effective sales enablement content?
What is Sales Enablement Content?
The goal of any business is to get more people buying more of its products or services. From the buyer’s perspective, this usually means comparing different options and selecting the most beneficial one. For the company, the goal is to influence this decision as much as possible to get the client to buy your product. Sales enablement content is simply the content companies create to try and nudge leads in the direction of their products.
Why Is It Important to Create Sales Enablement Content?
Businesses know that leads are looking at a line-up of competing products before they come to that all-important decision. If a prospect comes across your product and is interested, they will need more information before they can make a decision. Even if your product is better than the competition, you will need to provide the information the lead needs in order to be able to compare products. Not providing this may rule you out, and the sale might go to a company whose product the buyer feels they know better.
Sometimes, this information might not even be related to the product itself, it may be about the identity of your brand for example. What values do you stand for that are important to a certain demographic? Taking a clear stance on things, like the environment, certain social issues, or your commitment to local communities, might be enough to convince people your brand is worth their loyalty.
So how does one go about finding the right sales enablement topics to help them create the right content?
