Stephen Pegler is Head of Sales Enablement at Thomas International. Prior to “stumbling” into enablement, he had a learning and development background before moving to the United States to help kickstart a sales training program.
Since taking that leap, he’s continued to grow and build sales enablement functions across organizations worldwide and now, he provides support to sales leaders all the way up to C-suite level.
Key talking points:
- How being a “shepherd” is more important than being a “sales expert” when it comes to leading successful sales enablement.
- What enablement should do, and how he strives to achieve that.
- The alliances enablement forms with Operations, Product Marketing, and other key organizational functions.
- How validating your value is critical to stakeholder management, and how metrics and being a strong voice play into that.
