THE DIGITAL CONTENT STORE

Effective Sales Enablement Programs rely on a well-organized digital content store ordocument library to ensure the sales team can always easily find and use the most current, relevant piece of content available. Since compelling content only works if it gets used, CEA Marketing builds content libraries on a variety of tools from Google Docs, internal WiKis, or CRM systems.

THE ROLE OF AUTOMATION

Making sure the sales team has the right material instantly accessible is only the first half of the opportunity Sales Enablement provides. With a robust CRM and a document store filled with tailored digital materials, CEA can create custom templated email outreach messages and dialogue sequences targeting prospects in specific stages of the buying process. We automate the tracking of when and how emails are viewed, clicked, and interacted with and craft custom follow-up messages delivered by a trigger-based automated system. CEA can even implement chat bots to engage website visitors, provide answers to common questions, and transfer to a live sales team member when the time is right.
