Revolutionizing B2B Sales: 3 Pillars of Modern Revenue Enablement
As the business world evolves at lightning speed, shifts in B2B buying behavior have revealed a significant disconnect between what modern buyers expect and the ability of go-to-market (GTM) teams to meet these expectations.
Consider today’s B2B buyers: They are savvier than ever, performing as much research as they can before talking with a sales rep. And even then, they prefer digital interactions. Buying teams are larger, sometimes having as many as 20 people on a team. And buyers’ want more from the content shared with them.
Traditional sales enablement methods can’t accommodate those needs. Knowledge is trapped, and sellers can’t find content. There’s little to no collaboration between sales, marketing, and enablement teams. And the enablement tech strategy is a mess. All of which cause misalignment, miscommunication, missed opportunities, and missed goals.
The need for a transformative approach in sales and marketing strategies is crystal clear. This realization has given rise to a comprehensive framework designed to overhaul how sales, marketing, and customer success teams operate, ensuring they are in perfect harmony with the demands of the contemporary buyer.
Modern revenue enablement bridges the gap between buyer expectations and sales capabilities.
Enter the concept of modern revenue enablement — a strategy that doesn’t just aim to bridge the gap between buyer expectations and seller capabilities but seeks to create a seamless, integrated experience that benefits all parties involved.
Below, we delve into the “3 Pillars of Modern Revenue Enablement,” which stand as the bedrock of this innovative approach, enabling organizations to foster better communication, collaboration, and efficiency across their GTM teams.

3 Pillars of Modern Revenue Enablement
Modern revenue enablement stands at the intersection of innovation and efficiency, effectively bridging the gap between buyer expectations and sales capabilities. It is within this context that the three pillars of modern revenue enablement—Knowledge Sharing, Collaboration, and Enablement Technology—emerge as foundational elements driving this transformative strategy.
Pillar 1: Knowledge Sharing
Shine a light on the right sales stories to strengthen learning, content, and conversations.
Using an agile, peer-to-peer content engine, sellers share their knowledge and experience with their peers. Sellers become teachers as you capture and curate examples of what good selling looks like, best practices, win/loss reports, competitive intelligence, objection handling, and more—all accessible in sellers’ moment of need.
In providing just-in-time content in the flow of work, you drive learning across the revenue team, accelerate your sales team’s readiness, and ensure they’re able to engage buyers and win.
A key component of this is having a modern sales content management system that not only houses all of your content, but is fast and easy to use. You don’t want sellers spending precious time looking for a document when they should be talking with buyers.
Pillar 2: Collaboration
Align revenue and buying teams through modern collaborative experiences.
Modern revenue enablement technology has built-in feedback and collaboration tools that help centralize data about seller and buyer actions. This allows the entire revenue team to see what’s working and what isn’t, and to collaborate on resolving issues.
Sellers and buyers can also collaborate via Digital Sales Rooms (DSR), personalized and immersive buying experiences. DSRs provide the self-serve experience that today’s buyers expect while also allowing sellers to monitor buyers’ engagement with the items in the DSR.

Modern enablement technology also allows teams to see how sales content is used and consumed, the effect training and coaching has on sellers, and how to improve engagement with prospects and customers. Those insights make the entire GTM team more successful. Marketing creates better content, and sales managers coach and train their sellers in a much more impactful way.
Pillar 3: The Right Enablement Tech
