Invoca

Senior Director of Sales Enablement

As the Sales Enablement Director, I am responsible for building out the Sales Enablement function from a strategic perspective as well as hands-on execution.  I am the feet on the street, collaborating across various internal teams (Sales Leadership, front-line managers, Product Marketing, Marketing, Sales Ops, Product) to create and deliver high quality, measurable enablement programs.  This ranges from new hire ramp and onboarding to continuing education and certification on industry, product, value selling and sales techniques. I am a key stakeholder for Go-To-Market initiatives and new product launch, translating persona and messaging content to how our reps will communicate our solutions. I coach, train, facilitate, host, lead, (insert verb here) field calls, weekly training sessions, microlearnings, team reviews, role plays, Sales Kickoff events and new hire training. I roll out weekly Sales communications and knowledge checks to promote awareness and change management across the field, as well as institutionalize content in Highspot, our content management solution. Constantly moving, constantly adapting, constantly supporting sales team success.
