One of sales enablement goals is to support customer-facing professionals in getting closer to business decision-makers and engaging with them on each of the buyer’s journey phases. To succeed in this, leaders and executives, being the frontrunners of change, must lead by example and encourage the rest of the organization to actively adopt new tools and techniques.
LinkedIn, as a social network and a sales enablement tool, is the perfect platform to share valuable content and build strong and sustainable relationships with the right stakeholders. Everyone within the organization must embrace it and be a driver of thought leadership, representing the company’s brand and generating trust across the industry. When doing it correctly, this becomes a powerful tool to increase awareness, generate more leads, and boost engagement.
