Foundations of Effective Sales Enablement Donald and Candace discuss the misconception that sellers should inherently possess the knowledge necessary for success.  Rejecting this idea, Candace emphasizes the employer's role in equipping and enabling employees.  This means providing a clear performance path, feedback mechanisms, and the resources employees need to thrive in their environment, contributing to the employer-employee value exchange. How to Position Messaging to Executives Candace presents practical advice on communicating with executives without seeming presumptuous.  She recommends referencing industry trends and openly wondering how these may relate to the executive's focal priorities.  By approaching the conversation with genuine curiosity and a well-researched hypothesis, sellers can position themselves as partners, not just vendors. Advice for Sellers: Writing Goals at Organizational Levels Candace shares a valuable exercise for sellers looking to improve their business acumen.  She advises practicing writing objectives and goals at different organizational levels—from individual contributors to executives.  This practice helps sellers better tailor their messaging according to the strategic and operational priorities relevant to each role they encounter.
