As B2B Sales Cycles Are Drawn Out, Sales Enablement Becomes More Critical.

The report “B2B Sales Enablement: New Technologies, Tactics, and Trends (2022-2025)” is approximately 11,000 words (47 pages). This bird’s-eye view of B2B sales, captured in an easily downloadable PDF, can inform busy professionals and support corporate e-learning programs.

For decades now, B2B sales enablement tools have aspired to streamline the processes of sales, with mixed results.

Sales efficiency, generally calculated by dividing the gross revenue generated by the sales team by their total costs, can be a useful metric for illuminating the true costs of low-value tasks or the gains made through technology.
