Description
<p>"I do not think that most startups in Nigeria and even Africa have what is called <strong>Sales Enablement</strong> in place."</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Do you agree? š</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Well, those are the words of <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/omolara-sanni-115896152/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Omolara Sanni</a>, a Product Marketing Manager at <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/in-cash/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">InCash</a>, and my co-pioneer at the <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/african-product-marketing-pioneers/">ā ā African Product Marketing Pioneers</a> (APMP).</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Following her bold, "non-data-backed" claim above, which turned out to be true š, I brought Omolora onboard to help us understand the "what and how" of Sales Enablement. Listen in to hear how she uses a "school Inter-house sports" analogy to explain the concept of Sales Enablement š</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Amongst all the good stuff, she emphasized one important message - PMMs need to cultivate a great relationship with their Sales team.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Keep an eye out for Omolara's <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/school/treford/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Treford</a> Masterclass coming up on April 27, where she will be doing a deep-dive on Sales Enablement.</p>
