157: How to create an enablement team and prove its return on investment with Irina Soriano
Episode description
On this edition of The Predictable Revenue Podcast, co-host Collin Stewart welcomes Irina Soriano, Head of Enablement at Seismic.
Irina is a veteran sales and enablement leader: she’s been a quote-carrying rep, sales manager, and led sales operations teams at large organizations. She’s juggled the tactical and procedural, and knows how to make a sales org run.
Throughout the pod, Collin and Irina discuss the ins and outs of building a sales enablement team – from building an enablement org from scratch, to refining processes, to expanding enablement when the time is right. Highlights include: defining enablement (1:01), where to start with enablement (4:36), where does enablement typically sit? (8:29), the charter (10:05), the all-important return on investment (16:36), prioritizing tasks (21:27), getting funding and resources (27:24), and cold call Collin (29:54).
