First 90 Days: The Revenue Enablement Leader

A new revenue enablement leader must quickly assess the state of the sales organization and determine which priorities to support. For a new leader, there can be many exciting priorities that might make sense to tackle first. However, especially at the start of a new role, revenue enablement leaders must take a step back and assess the organization’s existing enablement activities (e.g., delivering assets, training sales teams, coordinating communications) and use this information to chart a successful path forward. It is essential for a new leader to achieve quick wins and develop a clear 12-month plan that supports corporate goals for the year. In this report, we outline key activities for a new revenue enablement leader’s first 90 days in the role, and reference relevant Forrester research to ease the transition.
