Panel: The hidden role of sales enablement during M&A and times of change
When organisations go through M&A, most eyes are on the deal, the strategy, the numbers. Sales enablement? Often an afterthought, assumed to be something you āloop in laterā once the ink is dry. But thatās a costly misconception.
In reality, sales enablement plays a pivotal role in navigating the complexity of M&A, from aligning messaging and onboarding acquired teams, to keeping sales productive through uncertainty, to driving cultural cohesion across go-to-market functions.
In this fireside chat, weāll explore:
- Why involving enablement early is a strategic advantage (not a nice-to-have)
- How to equip sales and CS teams to sell with confidence during change
- Lessons learned from real-world integration efforts - what worked, what didnāt
- The cross-functional partnerships that make M&A enablement successful
