Description

<p>&quot;I do not think that most startups in Nigeria and even Africa have what is called <strong>Sales Enablement</strong> in place.&quot;</p> <p><br></p> <p>Do you agree? šŸ‘€</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/">⁠⁠African Product Marketing Pioneers</a> (APMP).</p> <p><br></p> <p>Following her bold, &quot;non-data-backed&quot; claim above, which turned out to be true šŸ˜€, I brought Omolora onboard to help us understand the &quot;what and how&quot; of Sales Enablement. Listen in to hear how she uses a &quot;school Inter-house sports&quot; analogy to explain the concept of Sales Enablement šŸ™Œ</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&#39;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> <p><br></p> <p>🄁🄁This episode is sponsored by a community of <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/african-product-marketing-pioneers/">⁠African Product Marketing Pioneers⁠</a>.
