Send us a textA single verse can reorder courage. Amos 3:8 pushes us to stop whispering truth while the world shouts its lies. We open up about a personal wake-up call to be a prophet in the biblical sense: not predicting the future, but telling the truth with clarity and love, grounded in Scripture. That identity is not exclusive; it's available to every believer who surrenders to Jesus and accepts the cost of obedience.Ever think, “I'm just a guy… what real difference can I make?” You're not alone. But God isn't looking for perfect men — just obedient ones.

According to the GTM Performance Gap Report, 98% of leaders say their GTM strategy is active, but only 10% see it driving results. So how can organizations bridge this gap and turn strategy into meaningful execution that drives outcomes? Riley Rogers: Hi, and welcome to the Winland Podcast. I’m your host, Riley Rogers. Join us as we dive into changing trends in the workplace and how to navigate them successfully. Here to discuss this topic is Becky Payne, Vice President of Sales and Success Digital Enablement at Sage. Thank you so much for joining us today. Becky, we are super excited to have you. As we kind of get things kicked off, I’d love it if you could just start by telling us a little bit about yourself, your background, and your role. Becky Payne: Absolutely. Well, thank you so much for having me on the Win-Win podcast today. A little bit about me and my background. I’ve been at Sage for seven years. I’ve been in corporate America for almost 17, and what I can tell you is. When you really get under the hood of go-to market, that’s really what makes an organization home, right? And so my experience and my background is a lot of understanding the channel, a lot of understanding how go-to market works in real life, which is a phrase I like to use quite a bit. As well as then understanding how that connects into our strategy as we think about where we need to drive transformation to get to our ultimate outcomes along the way. My role at Sage is very unique. I sit in our routes to revenue organization, and so I get the privilege of enabling our go-to-market teams to drive the revenue that they need to and the various motions and go-to-market aspects of what they do every day. RR: Amazing. First of all, I love the Routes to Revenue team. That is the best team name. Based on what you’ve said here, it seems like we’ve got a lot to dig into. As you mentioned, you’ve got a pretty extensive experience in both channel and sales enablement, so can you walk us through how you journeyed into sales enablement, and now that you’re here, how that background influences your strategy today? BP: Well, I think my experience is probably a little bit of a unique one, but I’m happy to share it. So prior to this role, I actually served as our chief of staff or business executive in the North America space, and prior to that actually for our global partners and Alliance leader. So I have spent a significant amount of time in both of those spaces, and what I was able to identify is that. We had the most brilliant pieces of technology out there. We had the most brilliant strategies out there, but we didn’t have a great way of connecting those into the workforce every day to get them to drive the outcomes that the business really needed to see. So coming into this role, first of all, I think I have the best role at Sage, so I love to brag about what my team does. But what we get to do is we get to connect in with solving real world problems. We get to work with these sellers and these channel partners every single day to be able to deliver incremental value into what they do directly in relation to the customers, but also then how we make them operationally efficient in their day-to-day activities to be able to execute on that go-to-market strategy. RR: It seems like we got the exact right person to talk about the strategy and execution gap. I think you mentioned everything that I hope to cover, so super excited to dig into how you’re making that all this happen. Before we get into kind of the fix it strategies, I’d love to start with where we are today. So as you’re looking across the go-to-market stage and seeing some of the obstacles that pretty much every team is encountering in their day-to-day, what are some of the top challenges to sales success that you’re seeing? And then how are you addressing those challenges for both internal reps and channel partners? BP: Well, I don’t know that we have enough time today to get into all the details, but, but when you really think about it, it’s common in a lot of places, right? Yes, we might be in the high tech world, but a lot of what we’re experiencing is what is happening across the globe today. So if you think about it, a lot of our, both internal sellers, as well as our channel executives and partners, actually are experiencing information overload. And quite honestly, they’re not able to make the understanding of where that information overload then meets the relevance. Impact driver for what they’re dealing with every day. You know, a lot of our colleagues are flooded with content tools, data galore. We have a very, very data rich infrastructure here, which is amazing. However, the challenge isn’t access. To that, right? It’s really the precision and the action that they’re taking on that. We also have a bit of a previous history in having some consistency gaps when you think about that, right? So both direct teams and our channel partner teams that are out there selling and they’re engaging with these customers. Until recently, we didn’t really have a global blueprint. We didn’t really have a ton of global sales place, so we had a, a large inconsistency in how things were showing up, which their format, how we were measuring those outcomes and those impacts couldn’t be aligned on the day-to-day basis. We also are seeing a ton of pace of change. I mean, every organization is experiencing not only the AI transformation and AI change, but overall as a team at Sage, we experienced a significant amount of transformation in the last 24 months. So we’re kind of embracing that as we see a lot of the challenges as we embrace the AI transformation that’s on our doorstep. RR: You called out a couple things that I think most teams are gonna resonate with. Information overload, crazy pace of change, consistency issues across your channels. There’s a lot of noise out there, which makes it really difficult to create enduring, trusted relationships that drive the results you’re looking for. So from your perspective, what are some of the key building blocks behind a strong, effective partnership with your channel teams? BP: All right. This is one that goes a little bit like near and dear to my heart, right? What we have such a great ecosystem around us at Sage and such a great channel partner team, both internally and with our partners directly, is the clarity of the purpose. And the incremental value that they add to Sage. A lot of times our managing director of North America, Mark Hickman, he references the one plus one equals three equation, and that’s generally how we feel with our partner ecosystem. We have the best partnerships and those best partnerships start when both sides are really clear on the outcome and the impact that we mutually drive together. And what we’re able to see is when we do that in a very cohesive, consistent, and aligned strategic way from the leaders all the way down to the front line, we’re able to see incremental value driven through with and to our partners as well as back into Sage when you think about that bigger ecosystem play. RR: Okay, so we’ve covered a little bit of the philosophy of alignment, outcome, shared outcomes. I’d like to talk a little bit about the execution piece, so how you’re bringing that strategy to life with technology. Can you walk us through how an enablement platform helps you better equip both the internal and the partner side of the house? BP: Yes, this is where I nerd out just slightly ’cause this is absolutely what I love. So when you think about it, it does absolutely start with a unified go-to-market motion, which we have been able to deliver over the past year with my partner in crime, Mark Jackson. But we also have now, literally a couple weeks ago, launched our global unified enablement platform, which happens to be Highspot. And what we were able to learn from that is when you take a consistent blueprint and go to market mission, right, and then you add that. The best platform that we can. Not only can we surface insights and leverage some of the AI technologies that Highspot is offering, but we also have an ability to have mutually shared documents, mutually, you know, shared Digital Sales Rooms. Things that allow us to go to market together in an effective way that we’ve never had before. We really feel like this is a game changing strategy for us and really is a way for us to bring our blueprint, right, and that kind of strategy to life in the day-to-day execution. Some of the genomics aspects of your platform bring visibility into some of these sales plays and other items that we’ve never had before. We can now go in and we can see what partners are engaging with us, who within those partners are engaging at a different way, allow us to provide reporting to senior leaders, but also at those frontline sellers. So they’re going into their weekly strategic team meetings with these partners with a strategy that’s very clear. They’ve got content they can reference. They have points of which they can then articulate what is or is not working in sales plays and other things, and we’ve never had that capability before. RR: Well, that’s absolutely what I love to hear that the platform is becoming such a game changer for you guys, and you’re already seeing that difference between before and after. One thing I’d like to double click into what you said there was that you’re starting to dig into Highspot AI capabilities. So can you share how you’re building some of those features into your enablement strategy and then where you’re eventually hoping to go with them? BP: The future’s endless, right? Endless possibilities is where we’re hoping to go. But if you think about something like Sage, we are a global business. We do, you know, a significant amount of business across the world, but we also have, oh gosh, 160 ish products across the world. So when you think about how vast our content repository is, when you think about how much information is actually out there for both our internal sellers as well as our channel teams, we really need to think about smart ways to drive the right visibility at the right time for that, thinking about how to get the right information in their hands in a very short amount of time. You know, the name of the game for us is how do you drive the adoption? Drive adoption in a way that makes it make sense for how they’re using it in their everyday world. So things like the, you know, copilot plus features that has been game changing in and of itself. We cannot wait to get started with some of the content agents. I have a very, very lean team, and when you think about that, investing in places that are operationally supporting things is not likely what we’re to make our next investment, right? This is all about how do I drive the efficiency of my team as well in the background to then enable all of these sellers and these channel partners to do more with what they have. RR: Yeah. As somebody who also sits in the content world and deals with all of the wonderful governance tasks that come with that, I have to say I’m quite excited too, right there with you. Can I ask what it is about the platform that makes you such an advocate and really love to know? BP: Okay. This is, um, I must confess, I love the platform for a couple of different reasons, to be honest with you. First and foremost, I feel like it is one of the most dynamic. Adaptable platforms that I’ve seen where we have ideas, where we have, you know, thoughts for improvements, where we wanna take advantage of beta programs that you guys are offering. Everything is on the table with you guys, and it feels like a true open partnership when we’re having these discussions. It’s one of the only consistent conversations that I’m in where you guys are asking, okay, what is your strategy, Becky? What is Sage’s strategy? What do we need to help you achieve? And that becomes a really meaningful way for us to adapt what our strategic objectives are. Via your platform, and then mutually come up with ways to help us drive that adoption and the success moving forward. And a little bit of a shameless plug, I think I have one of the best account teams at Highspot. If there’s ever a crazy idea that we have, if there’s ever a way for us to try to bring something to life so I can try to get the feedback directly from our sellers, that has been the best thing with Matthew and Ed and Omar. It just becomes a real dynamic partnership in seeing how much value we can mutually drive through this platform. RR: It always makes us so happy to hear that. It really does feel like a true partnership, and I will certainly have to take that feedback back to your team. I’m sure they’ll be happy to hear it, but I’m sure they already know just how successful you’re feeling because looking at the data, you and your teams have achieved a really impressive 87% recurring usage rate, which is huge. So what are some of your best practices for driving that adoption? BP: This one kind of goes back to basics, to be honest with you. So we really started with what matters most, right? So we decided as a strategic team, you know, working on the Sage account and then ultimately within the leadership team at Sage, what is it that we needed to drive value out of this platform, right? We went out to a global RFP when we did this to define our global enablement platform. And so we really stuck to what those outcomes were that we were trying to get. First and foremost, when you think about the basics of adoption is. Old school is best when it comes to this consistent drum beep of updates. Consistent visibility of metrics, consistent visibility of good wind stories. There is nothing better than that ground up swell when people start talking to their peers about how much better their life is because they’re using this platform or something like that. There’s also been a significant amount of leadership visibility. This was a major investment for Sage, and we wanted to make sure that our leaders all the way down, we’re seeing the goodness. We’ve gone to the kind of executive level to bring visibility into. What’s out there, what’s happening, and also getting them licenses. Kinda giving them some quizzes along the way, making sure that they’re using it, making sure that they’re seeing the value in what it can provide back to these sellers and these partners, as well as making sure that we’re doing. I’ll call it the flare around some of these announcements. You guys do a great job of consistently releasing features. We also then try to do a great job of bringing visibility into that so it keeps things fresh and new and users wanting to come back to the platform. RR: I think you’re 100% right to say, you know. Bring it back to basics because no matter the size of the organization you’re at, nine times out of 10, word of mouth is gonna do far more for you than even the most well-planned launch. That trust from your users is huge. So fantastic advice. In addition to adoption, I know that for leaders like yourself, it’s a great metric. It’s a good indicator, but it’s not the end all, be all that you’re looking at. So aside from adoption, what other metrics are you using to measure and optimize your enablement strategy? BP: Woo. This is a great one. Adoption is absolutely key, but we’re also looking at new ways to get feedback around the productivity, the efficiency, and honestly with this platform, the efficacy that it can deliver for our internal sellers through their go-to market motions. So things like, what does the revenue per head look like? Or, you know, how long are they spending? What’s the metrics it takes? For them to be able to get the content that they’re looking for. How many times are they researching, you know, to get the same outcome that they need. There’s also a lot to be said for when we’re in different offices or if different sellers and partners, you know, we have the chance to get in front of them. We’re often asking the question, you know, what do you like about it? What could you change? What would you do differently? And we’re really open to that feedback to help us refine where our strategy is going to go so that the end user feels heard. There is no better way to know where you need to go or what you need to do to drive the consumption overall and the kind of value outta that tool than hearing people that need to use it every single day, hear where they have some feedback and some improvements on. RR: So knowing you’re keeping that close pulse on your teams, how they’re engaging with the platform, the value they’re seeing, the things they’d like to see improve. I’d be curious to know kind of where things are today. So since you’ve launched Highspot, what key results have you achieved? What wins have you seen or. Any achievements that you’re particularly proud of you’d like to share? BP: Yes, absolutely. So again, I think the genomics aspect of this makes it incredibly valuable. We are also just weeks away from our sales kickoff for North America, and as part of that we are going to do an AI pitch perfect aspect with the AI role play that is in the platform. And so we will then be doing a leaderboard for the various segments. Across the business in North America to see who is already able to find the materials that they need for their AI pitch perfect aspect, but then also see how they engage with the AI agent to be able to do their role play and get a leaderboard going. So that’s what we’re probably most excited about for that one. And we kind of got the idea after the Cloudy Carly role play that you guys actually had at Spark. So we shamelessly borrowed a couple of those ideas and we’re really excited to see how we can bring that to life at Sko. RR: Amazing couple things there. One, thank you for taking the time to chat with us when you have SKO just around the corner. Appreciate that. And two, I will have to check back in with you because I would love to hear how that’s going. Last question for you to close this out. What is one piece of advice that you’d share for other leaders like yourself that are looking to close the gap between strategy and execution? BP: I think the biggest piece of advice would just be to get started. I think if we go back to the basics and we think in Inc. And you really think about where we need to take a transformation, a large organization like Sage, and you connect what they do every day into that strategy, it’s just to get started, right? I mean, there’s a thousand ways you can do things. Not all of them are gonna work out. But the longer you sit there and you look at it on paper, the longer it’s gonna take for you to have that impact. So when you get started and you get people excited and bought along on that journey of what you’re doing, magic can happen. RR: I think that’s perfect advice to close with. You know that don’t boil the ocean philosophy. Just get started. Something is better than nothing. Progress is better than planning on planning on planning. Perfect. Becky, thank you so much for joining us. It has been an absolute pleasure. BP: Thank you so much for having me. Can’t wait for the next one. RR: To our audience, thank you for listening to this episode of the Win-Win podcast. Be sure to tune in next time for our insights on how you can maximize enablement success with Highspot.

The relentless pace of modern life can leave even the most dedicated Christian men adrift without direction. Many of us find ourselves in perpetual motion without meaningful direction, reacting to endless notifications, meetings, and obligations rather than purposefully pursuing God's vision. This spiritual drift isn't usually from rebellion but from being constantly reactive. We examine how this directionless living creates serious consequences for our families, workplaces, and communities when Christian men fail to provide clear leadership.Ever think, “I'm just a guy… what real difference can I make?” You're not alone.

Tym razem jednak naprawdę nas zaskoczył, bo dopiero co zapowiedział, że karnie podda się rygorom podpisanej – z własnej woli – przez niego umowy koalicyjnej. Ta dwa lata temu jawiła się dla niego niemal jak potwierdzenie na pergaminie spełnienia dziecięcego marzenia. Jesienią 2023 r. dokument potwierdził, że Hołownia – jeszcze niedawno telewizyjny showman – stanie na czele Sejmu. Tyle że miał to być zaledwie pierwszy krok, bo jego prawdziwym celem i największym marzeniem było przekroczenie progu Pałacu Prezydenckiego w roli gospodarza. To pragnienie zostało jednak brutalnie zweryfikowane przez polityczną rzeczywistość, która – jak twierdzą ci, którzy dobrze znają marszałka – naprawdę go zaskoczyła. Do końca wierzył, że wygra nie tylko z Trzaskowskim, ale i kandydatem PiS, ktokolwiek by nim nie był. Skończyło się, jak mówią złośliwi, na promocyjnym wyniku – 4,99 proc. Zaczęła się równia pochyła i Hołownia zniechęcił się do polityki, która jeszcze niedawno miała być dla niego polem do szerzenia dobra, a dziś jest tylko „szambem”, jak lider Polski 2050 napisał niedawno w mediach społecznościowych. Polityk chce więc odejść. Okazuje się jednak, że tanio skóry sprzedać nie chce. Zapowiedział, że zrzeknie się funkcji marszałka, ale nie od razu – najpierw fotel wicepremiera ma dostać od Tuska nielubiana przez niego partyjna koleżanka Hołowni Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz. To budzi irytację wśród pozostałych koalicjantów, a ponoć u samego Tuska raczej wesołość, bo – jak słyszymy – premier nie zamierza się uginać w obliczu szantażu i chce spokojnie czekać, aż Polska 2050 sama się wewnętrznie poukłada, bo Hołownia nie chce już być szefem własnego ugrupowania i w styczniu odbędą się tam wybory. W dzisiejszym wydaniu „Stanu wyjątkowego” odsłaniamy kulisy rozgrywki w koalicji. Zastanowimy się też m.in. nad tym, czy Waldemar Żurek naprawdę chce uchwalenia ustaw praworządnościowych, czy Donald Tusk pozbędzie się krnąbrnego Franciszka Sterczewskiego, a także pokażemy kolejny odcinek młócki pomiędzy Jarosławem Kaczyńskim i Sławomirem Mentzenem.

Episode 134: Scaling Sales Efficiency With a New Enablement Platform

Win Win Podcast

Play Episode Listen Later Sep 19, 2025


According to research from Gartner, 77% of sellers say they struggle to efficiently complete their assigned tasks. So how can you successfully implement an enablement platform that truly helps sellers become more efficient and drive tangible outcomes? Riley Rogers: Hi, and welcome to the Win-Win podcast. I’m your host, Riley Rogers. Here to discuss this topic is Alexia Wilkinson, senior sales enablement specialist at Revvity. Thank you for joining us, Alexia. I’d love for you to start just by telling us a little bit about yourself, your background, and your role.  Alexia Wilkinson: Wonderful. Thank you so much for having me. So I’m Alexia Wilkinson, senior sales enablement specialist at Revvity where I’ve been for the past two and a half years.  My career actually began in SaaS sales nearly a decade ago with a strong focus in the life sciences industry. I was based in Boston, so it’s the global hub of biotech and pharma. Over the years, I developed a deep appreciation for the strategic role that enablement plays in driving sales success. So my transition into sales enablement was really fueled by the belief in its power to support new sellers, season professionals and entire sales teams to become more effective, confident, and customer focused. So one of the things I love the most about my job at Revvity is the opportunity to be involved. With so many different parts of the business, whether it’s collaborating on sales processes or sales efficiencies, it’s integrating tools into the seller’s daily workflow and making sure they’re working and fit for purpose, and also improving communication across teams.  There’s so many different people to communicate with. We wanna make sure that each initiative contributes to what I see as the foundation of sales excellence. Bringing all of that together, bundling up and making sure that our sales org has the right tools and a clear. Guide and plan into how they can sell effectively. RR: Amazing. Well, we’re super excited to have you here today. I think you spoke to the role of enablement so eloquently and I know that the great foreshadowing for the session to come. So to kick us off, I’d like to start with something that you mentioned, which is that you’re working in the life sciences industry and that probably creates a few unique scenarios that you have to combat in enablement. So what are some of the unique challenges that reps in that industry face? Then how can someone like you at enablement help them navigate those unique challenges? AW: The life sciences space, it’s wide, it’s broad, it’s complex. There’s so many things going on that when you look at sellers who are in this space, it’s not just selling a product. They’re selling trust. Compliance and scientific credibility in a very highly regulated budget, constrained and an evidence-driven environment. So all of these things contribute to stakes can be high, and the conversations can be really complex. So helping navigate these challenges. Enablement plays a critical role in really navigating what we can do, and so I look at enablement as being the air traffic controller. I may not be the expert in all the little things like, you know, regulations or some of the scientific evidence that is being done. I can help get the right people from all across the company together and making sure that if this information is in five different spots, it’s all consistent and it’s very clear to help make sure that there’s no friction for the rep moving forward. So really it’s about making sure that these challenges that I highlighted don’t become obstacles. RR: Yeah, I really liked the air traffic controller metaphor, kind of connecting all of these disparate groups and building that connective tissue. So you have one team that can run together. I know part of that connective tissue and creating that connective tissue is an enablement tool that can create a single source of truth for all of those conversations. And I know in the past you had switched off of a previous enablement platform and decided to make the move to Highspot, so I’d love to know a little bit about like. What motivated you to reevaluate, and then how did you make that decision to change your tech stack? AW: So Revvity is a very large company. It’s a public company, and our company is continuing to evolve. So it’s essential that our sales enablement strategy evolves with it. So it means equipping our teams with not just the right messaging or training. But it really relies on the technology. It’s agile. It needs to be scalable and aligned with our future goals.  So as we look to reevaluate, we wanted a platform that could grow with us. It could adapt to our changing needs and act as a true partner in innovation. So Highspot actually stood out because we felt like they could tackle these three objects for us in this changing environment within life sciences. And especially with what the platform could do, having all of that in one place was extremely beneficial. So really, this platform allowed us to be more proactive versus reactive in how we support our teams. So really in the end, the decision was about future proofing our enablement strategy and making sure that our sellers have the right tools and insights in this fast-paced competitive environment. RR: Knowing a little bit about what motivated that decision and how you came to your conclusion of what the right platform might be for you. I know that next step is never easy of, we’ve chosen a tool and now we have to implement it, and that’s the hard part. So knowing that you guys just recently went through that implementation process, I’d be curious to know from your perspective. What are some of the common pitfalls that you think organizations might encounter when rolling out a new enablement platform? And then how can they be avoided when you’re prepping for that launch? AW: So three common pitfalls that I see is one being treating the platform as a simple content repository. People may look at it as just a place to store assets and. If that happens, reps are gonna struggle to find what they need and adoption declines quickly. Another challenge is lack of governance. Without clear ownership or defined guardrails, materials are gonna become outdated or really irrelevant. And additionally, if the platform is not integrated into tools and workflows that sellers use daily, it’s just gonna become disconnected and reps are not gonna wanna use it. So from these three things, I think to avoid these issues, it’s essential to establish clear, consistent messaging across all stakeholders and making sure that they understand it’s the single source of truth for all things. It can be about connecting the right material, making sure everything is relevant, and also the actionable resources are up to date. Also ensuring that there’s strong governance and fully leveraging integrations are just going to help again, make sure we’re driving both adoption and long-term success. RR: Yeah, I think those are all really important things to be cognizant of as you’re trying to embark on a big change like that. Implementing a tool, like I said, never easy, but with the right support in place, you’re better prepared to make it happen. Kind of on that subject, we saw on LinkedIn that you highlighted achieving cross-functional leadership and helping create alignment there as a key strength of yours. So during a new platform rollout like the one you just did, how do you effectively communicate with cross-functional teams and create that alignment that leads to a successful rollout? AW: I will say cross-functional leadership was not a key strength while back in the day. I’ve had a lot of experiences and opportunities to learn from. So being able to showcase that as a strength, it’s because of my past and all the great things that have happened in my career. So looking at this new platform rollout. Effective communication starts early. It’s bringing in those cross-functional teams into the fold from the beginning. So taking a look at our new rollout of Highspot, we did an internal road show. So we were sharing the high level vision and the rollout plan. So it’s not just about informing them, it’s about making them a part of the journey. So throughout the rollout, ongoing communication is key. I think the key thing here is people wanna be proactive contributors and not reactive participants. So when teams where colleagues feel that they’re an afterthought, it’s harder to build momentum and support. So that’s why with this rollout, we really prioritized updating and engaging across business units, sales, leadership, marketing, frontline managers, users on ensuring that everyone was aligned but also excited. It with this internal road show, we made space for early feedback, so if there was a group that maybe didn’t feel like it was the right move, let’s hear it and let’s understand it better. If we have a group that really wants to be on board, how can we bring them in earlier and make sure that they’re set up for success? So that really contributed to the communication and making sure the alignment happened early on. RR: I appreciate the call out that these aren’t skills that you get overnight. The people management part of it is hard and it takes a long time to learn it. But I will say, looking at the data, it seems like you and the team have really landed it. Even in the early stages of your Highspot implementation, you’ve already achieved a pretty impressive 88% platform adoption. So. In addition to that early alignment, how did you drive that high adoption and build excitement for your programs, especially among your sales teams who are gonna be those end users? AW: Thank you so much for highlighting the 88% platform adoption. It is a number that makes me smile, and I couldn’t have done it without the team, our users, and our stakeholders as well. So really how we began is we wanted to do a global launch initiative. We wanted to ensure every sales team member, regardless of their location, was introduced to Highspot in the same consistent and engaging way.  So we really focused embedding Highspot into the daily rhythm of the business. So looking at making sure Highspot was brought up on reoccurring meetings. We did a kickoff training session over a few weeks. We hosted office hours, a lot of office hours over the first month and a half, and we even brought it into our SKO. So all of these touch points helped reinforce the platform’s value and also made people be like, what is Highspot? What is it I need to know about it? So that was one part of how we drove that adoption, but we have to look at who’s also helping us. So another major contributor to our success is our strong partnership with our product marketing team. They helped amplify the message and they drove awareness because they have close relationships with our sales teams, product management, and there’s a lot that’s to it. So thinking about the excitement part of your question, we wanted to keep engagement high after the initial excitement of the global launch, and we decided to launch bite-size learning series. We actually call it Highspot Hacks and Hints, and we send it out about one or two times a month. We release a short video under five minutes, and we also include instructions and best practices showcasing that tip or trick within Highspot. So we wanted to make sure that learning was approachable and it allowed users to build confidence, an entirely new platform that may be a little bit overwhelming when they first log in. RR: And on a similar note, in addition to just platform adoption more broadly, we’ve also seen that you’ve achieved a 55% adoption rate in digital rooms, which is really impressive because that’s significant behavior change to get reps communicating out of a different platform than maybe they’re used to. So how did you drive success there? And then how are your reps using digital rooms to improve the buyer experience? AW: Great question. So as we were evaluating digital rooms was a top priority for us because our previous enablement platform offered a similar feature. And from feedback, we know that our teams heavily relied on that to engage with prospects and customer. So going into how we wanted to make sure reps could easily use digital rooms, we focused on how it’s delivering a custom experience for that customer or situation and being able to have a little bit of a creative flare with it. So with that. The message was again, tailoring the experience to the buyer, being able to then take the real time notifications that are from digital rooms and empowering the reps to follow up more effectively and also personally. So showcasing the why behind setting up a digital room that’s more custom is the answer to driving a buyer experience in a positive way. So as we looked at the early success. We built digital room templates that had remedy branding, a little bit of pre-populated content, just making it easier for reps to jump in and not feel like it was such a time consuming task. So that’s what we did right away. And then from there, our reps are incredible. They’re creative. They are wanting to collaborate and really lean on one another. So since the launch, we’ve showcased real examples, shared best practices, and really made sure that reps are sharing what they’ve already done and utilizing the collaboration aspect of a digital room so that they can use it and reinvent the wheel just a tad. To use it for their situation. So a lot of it is from more of an administrative side, but then leaning on our peers. RR: That’s one of the most, I think, amazing parts of digital rooms, is you can send reps out with, here’s what we’ve built you. It’s wonderful. Go run and they’ll come back to you with something that you never even thought of. Or using it in a way or building a template that’s more beautiful than you could have imagined. And it’s always so fun to see that. So we’ve heard a little bit about some of what you’ve achieved so far. I’d like to look ahead a little bit. So after seeing some of these early wins, what are you hoping to achieve next as you continue to leverage Highspot to drive sales efficiency? AW: So this year, adoption and change management. I would say that’s typical. And as we look at what’s next, we really wanna focus in on deepening our understanding of content impact. So looking at how specific assets are working internally and externally. We wanna see more about sales plays and how they’re being used and how they’re influencing buyer engagement and outcomes.  So I think this is going to allow us to have more informed decisions and where we can optimize within the platform. This also ties into a stronger alignment with our product marketing team. I love the feedback loop that Highspot provides because we’re getting whoever’s providing feedback connected directly to the product marketer and they can take action on whatever the case may be. So really utilizing that feedback loop to drive purposeful, timely, and the value that it’s gonna hold there. So that’s really what we’re trying to achieve next as we look at the impact of what’s inside of Highspot. RR: And I think you touched on this a little bit in that optimization piece and looking at the data to understand what is next for us and where do we wanna focus our resources and our efforts. So how do you plan to take that data and those insights to refine your enablement strategy as you’re looking ahead to next year? AW: I’m just thinking of a moment just happened recently and. We started digging into analytics more to better understand where our users are spending their time within Highspot. And the one insight that we found and we actually acted upon is the high engagement with overview pages. So we have spot overview pages, we have list overview pages, and these pages are consistently receiving strong traffic. So it highlighted how critical they are for reps. So with that, we were doing a, you know, first half since launch meeting with our product marketing team. And we share these findings to reinforce the importance of overview pages. So it’s just not a navigation tool, but it’s more of that strategic touchpoint. In a seller’s experience while they’re in Highspot. So we emphasize the need to keep them updated, relevant, easy to use, and ensuring they can be that reliable source of truth. So just seeing that recently happened to us, it’s already helping us refine our enablement strategy in real time. So I’m excited to see what else we can do with that. RR: Amazing. I mean, we are too, if that’s, you know, kind of the change that’s coming from, we’re just getting started. I’m sure that when this is your big focus, there’s gonna be a lot that comes out of that work. I know we’re nearing the end of our time today. So one last question for you to close. For organizations looking to select and roll out a new enablement platform and maybe see some of the success that you guys already have, what is one piece of advice you would give them? AW: So the one piece of advice I want them to think beyond the initial rollout.  I want them to plan for long-term ownership and sustainability. So from the start, it’s critical to find who’s going to own the platform, who will maintain it, who needs to stay informed, even if they’re not involved in the day-to-day execution. This also includes establishing a core admin group that can help provide expertise into the key areas like content, strategy, analytics, user support, and integrations. So really, again, making sure that you think beyond the initial rollout. I know that’s the fun part, but we have to look at how can we make this be a successful platform forever. RR: That’s super actionable advice that I think anybody getting started should really take to heart. So thank you for sharing that and all of the other wonderful insights you’ve brought to the table today. AW:Thank you! RR: To our audience. Thank you for listening to this episode of the Win-Win podcast. Be sure to tune in next time for more insights on how you can maximize enablement success with Highspot.

Every Christian man knows the tension—walking in a broken world while battling spiritual enemies that seek to destroy what God has called good. The war against lust isn't fought with flesh and blood weapons but with spiritual ones that God has already equipped us with. Pornography is a silent destroyer that thrives in darkness. It begins subtly—a glance becomes a lingering look, a momentary thought grows unchecked, and before we realize it, we're trapped in cycles of guilt, shame, and isolation.

According to research from Gallup, 21% of employees who voluntarily left their organization said their departure could have been prevented by more positive personal interactions with their manager. So how can you create a coaching culture that keeps teams motivated and drives sales success? Riley Rogers: Hi, and welcome to the Win-Win podcast. I’m your host, Riley Rogers. Join us as we dive into changing trends in the workplace and how to navigate them successfully. Here to discuss this topic is Robin Handley, Senior VP of Sales Enablement at Direct Travel. Thank you so much for joining us, Robin. We’re really excited to have you here. To kick us off, I’d love if you could start just by telling us a little bit about yourself, your background, and your role. Robin Handley: Yeah, I’d love to, and thank you so much for having me. I’m absolutely thrilled to be here. I have actually been in the travel industry for 30-plus years, so I guess you could say I grew up here. I am the SVP of Sales Enablement at Direct Travel, like you mentioned. Under my current remit, you know, I am responsible for sales enablement, managing also what we call the inbound and outbound lead generation with our sales development reps and the proposal writing team.So I’ve got pretty, you know, three different distinct lines of business within my remit. And then I think it’s important to share that in my prior roles, in addition to sales enablement, I also led teams related to reporting, data analytics, CRM platforms, as well as change and transformation. RR: Wonderful. Thank you for sharing. It seems like you have a wealth of knowledge acquired over a lot of different roles, and I’m so excited to kind of dig into it and steal some of your best practices. Thinking about your experience—maybe in data analytics, product, customer success, all of these things that you alluded to—I'd be curious to know how this diverse background kind of comes together to influence your approach to sales enablement at Direct Travel. RH: You know, I think having experience spanning across, you know, many areas, it gives a broad perspective around how things intersect, how they influence, and, you know, how they support each other. So, for example, leveraging data points such as why we win, reasons why we lose, as well as listening to customer feedback, you really start to see trends and start to understand the customer and industry pain points.So from there, you can really start to work with key business partners—I would say in marketing, product, customer experience, you know, those different areas—to make sure that you develop content and assets that are gonna arm your sales reps to overcome objections, to highlight key differentiators, and to align solutions to customer pain points.And when, you know, you’re leading in enablement, I always say it’s like vitally important to ensure that the right content and collateral and training and coaching is available to enable those sales reps to quickly advance through those sales cycles and close, win that business. RR: Wonderful. I’d love to maybe double-click a little bit deeper into that enablement approach and philosophy, especially focused on coaching, because I know on LinkedIn you’ve highlighted the importance of people-centric leadership, especially in sales coaching and feedback.I’m curious to know maybe how you bring this philosophy to life in your enablement efforts, and then how that affects your overarching coaching culture. RH: Yeah, so people-centric leadership, you know, it really isn’t just being caring, empathetic, committed. I think, you know, that’s all highly important, but it’s also about being intentional in how we grow our teams.So developing individuals through coaching, feedback, and recognition is so critical. So one thing I do is I run pitch exercises where reps record themselves, and I always tell them, this is your playground. You know, you can mess up here, not in front of a customer. And it feels like a safe space. So that mindset shift makes a huge difference.And this approach not only helps individuals grow, but it also fosters a culture where, you know, feedback becomes normalized and valued. So over time, this creates, like, that ripple effect as well. And so what I start to see is reps start to coach each other. They feel comfortable sharing tips or tricks or feedback. Even, you know, it’s not so much then from that top-down directive. It feels like it’s more of a collaborative community. And as a result, I think it’s also important just to call out that we start to see reps become more confident and collaborative just in general. So as a result of that, I would say, you know, it even helps increase or improve our win rates and, you know, helps people be better prepared and hopefully, again, win that business. RR: Yeah, I love to hear that. I think the idea of like making a safe space for practice is so important. People need to be able to make mistakes. That’s where you learn. So that’s great to hear. I’d like to switch gears maybe a little. I know that in addition to creating a healthy coaching culture, improving sales efficiency is a key focus for you at Direct Travel.I’d be curious—maybe some of the challenges to GTM efficiency that you’re seeing your teams face today. RH: Oh yeah. I say, you know, quite a few come to mind, and I think that’s normal, right? I mean, in any company there’s always those things. I would say, you know, sellers using old, outdated collateral, sometimes trying to find where are those assets stored, because they could be stored in multiple different areas.I would say another big thing that we’re challenged with is related to long sales cycles, and so, you know, for me it’s always top of mind: how do we continue to shorten and shrink those sales cycles? And then I think a lot of times you’re not getting full visibility into buyer engagement. So without that data, a lot of times the sales reps are using their gut.There’s only a few data points that they have, like, oh, are we able to have another meeting? Are they responding? But you’re not really getting that buyer engagement. And then, in addition to that, you know, really cumbersome and manual ways to coach the sales reps. Just—I can tell you—doing a pitch session a year ago without Highspot, it was so cumbersome. Just having to build out what is the talk track, sharing that video through email that we recorded of the pitch, and then coming together with a rubric and then trying to do all the scoring. It was very labor-intensive. RR: Yeah, I think you’re spot on with these challenges. There are things that we’re certainly hearing from our customers, we feel ourselves, and other organizations are talking about. And I think the big thing is that everybody is trying to solve for them. And so, as you kind of mentioned just a little bit, you have found a platform to help you with that. So I’d be curious if you could tell me a little bit about the strategic advantage of an enablement platform and how it’s helping you kind of overcome some of these challenges that you’re seeing. RH: Absolutely. So using Highspot is a dream come true, to be honest. Number one, you know, having one central hub for sales content is so critical and so important. So I feel like our sales reps that are in the Highspot environment no longer feel like they’re digging through email or SharePoints or going on a team site trying to find that collateral.So that is a huge efficiency gain, but also think of job satisfaction. Those sellers feel like, wow, this is so much easier for me to navigate. I would also say, again, going back to the real-time insights and analytics from buyer engagement—so now we’re able to see what content is being viewed, and it’s also helping us tailor our follow-up as well as being able to close deals faster.The other I would say is consistent coaching and training. So going back to the example I just used—very manual process historically—but being able now to leverage AI to provide feedback instantly is incredible. RR: Wonderful. That’s absolutely what I love to hear, and I’m super excited that you’re finding these wins already so early.Thinking about platforms and enablement technology, I’d like to maybe call out a win that we’ve heard through the grapevine, which is that even though you’re early in your journey with the platform, you’ve already achieved a really impressive 96% recurring usage rate. So I’d really love to hear what some of your best practices for driving that adoption are and how you’ve achieved that. RH: Yeah, absolutely. So right out of the gate, timing-wise, this worked perfectly because we were having our sales kickoff meeting in person, and so we used that as our launch, right? So we were able to get the hype going, and we had sessions where we did a whistle-stop tour of all the tools, key capabilities, and really got people excited about what was coming around the corner.So after our SKO, we then did what we called mandatory kickoff implementation calls to get everyone set up. And what we really wanted to make sure that we didn't do was one big bang because we know there are so many features and capabilities in the platform that we wanted to be really intentional about phasing that out.So the first thing that we did is we focused on content management. Again, you heard that was one of our challenges. So we wanted to make sure that we had one stop shop for all of our content and make it super easy for people to navigate and find anything that they need for their sales cycle.In addition to that, the next thing we wanted to do was roll out digital sales rooms because, again, you heard that was a challenge. We wanted to start to see buyer engagement. So that was really well received by the entire group. So it was very easy for us to get them excited and into the tool and the repeat usage. So that was the starting point.In addition to that, we started and continue to host every Friday an optional drop-in office hours call. And this is really great because people that are available, they'll jump in, they'll listen if they don't have questions, or others will actually ask questions, which then drives conversation and also highlights successes. Because in those moments, you know, people are starting to talk about, oh, you know, this is how we did it, or this worked for me. You really start to see some of those true successes come to life.I think the other important piece is making sure that we had our executive leadership team and other leaders be advocates for Highspot—so making sure that they’re talking about it in their meetings, that they’re highlighting it in town halls.And also, as we're starting to see some of the data and the proof points, I, along with other leaders, are sharing those out through email or on calls for recognition. So things like recognizing top users of Highspot, those that built the most digital sales rooms, those that had the most content viewed, or people viewing their digital sales room.And then I would kind of wrap that up with also—we've had some people create some really creative intro videos that they've included in the digital sales room. We're making sure that we're sharing those broadly so people can spark new ideas on how they want to show up in their digital sales rooms. RR: This is all really great advice, and I think very helpful tips. I love the idea of tapping into that competitive instinct in your salespeople—who has the most pitches, who has the most views. That is something that is gonna ignite activity for sure.So now, thinking that you’ve achieved this adoption and you have your sellers bought in, I’d love to dig a little bit further into maybe what’s next for you. I’ve heard that you’re planning to leverage Highspot AI capabilities to drive scalability and efficiency. So can you share a little bit about how you’re building AI features—things like meeting intelligence—into your enablement strategy going forward? RH: Yeah, absolutely. So we are really excited about leveraging the AI features and meeting intelligence. In fact, that was one of the selling points when we were going through the sales cycle with Highspot.Number one is we love the fact that you can ingest meeting recordings into the platform and right away, using AI, get some feedback on what I would say is like performance feedback.So I love being able to see stats on how much percentage of time a seller spoke versus a prospect—because we want that to be 20%, roughly, right? And we really want to do all of those high-gain questions to have our prospects open up and speak to us, especially, you know, during discovery.The other thing that I really love is using delivery insights. So there’s the pitch variation, pace, and filler words, and that’s really helpful for people that have never used a tool—to share that with them. They maybe have no idea how many times they say “right,” “um,” “you know,” all those different filler words. And so it’s really great to give them that awareness and to also show the pace because some people are fast talkers and some maybe are a little bit slower, so it gives them some intel on how to improve.The other thing that we've actively started using is the follow-up feature. So you can get quick capture or, you know, a transcript that then shows you next steps and actions. So it's a time saver, and you don't feel like you need to take notes. You can just let yourself focus on the conversation and be an active listener. RR: Awesome. I love the value that you’re seeing in some of these features. I really like to hear about the vision, so I would love to maybe hear a little bit about how you’re bringing that vision to life and what that strategy is.In May, you actually joined us here in Seattle for a workshop on our real-world coaching capabilities, and you shared with us that you’re currently testing them with a pilot group.So I'd love if you could kind of lay out how you’re rolling out these capabilities, how the pilot's going, and how you’re kind of empowering users to start leveraging this tool. RH: Yeah, so you’re right. I did attend the meeting in Seattle and it was fantastic. It was such a great opportunity to learn more about the capabilities and start framing up, you know, our go-forward vision of where we want to go with this.And I would say you're right—we are still very much in the early phases of leveraging this, especially, you know, the coaching capabilities. So what is in the works is, you know, we are starting to build out pitching exercises for different industry nuances and buyer personas, and I think that is gonna be super helpful to really get our sellers comfortable with different talk tracks based on different individuals that they’re speaking to.So to me, that is one of the first things that we really want to focus on, and we’ll be coming out of the gate soon. RR: Awesome. Well, I can't wait to hear about how it’s going in a few months. I know a lot of work to be done, but I’m sure a lot of wins in the future.Speaking kind of of down the line, I'd like to maybe turn to your measurement strategy, especially, you know, as we talked about, knowing that you’re a leader with a strong analytics background.I'd be curious—when it comes to enablement programs like this new coaching initiative, what key metrics you’re tracking to measure their impact, and then maybe what success looks like in the next year or so. RH: Yeah, I think we're tracking a blend right now of adoption, engagement, and performance metrics, which I think is really important because we're still in the early phases of rolling this out.So we want to make sure that people are adopting it, and then we want to make sure from an engagement perspective, we’re starting to see people leveraging feedback and things of that nature—and performance metrics. So I'll dive a little bit deeper into that.So definitely we are looking at, you know, the percent of reps who have completed coaching modules and sessions, percent who completed coaching tasks, and feedback ratings for sales reps.In addition to that, we're looking at things like leveraging meetings intelligence metrics, such as, you know, those talk ratios and the objection handling—because the other cool thing is at the bottom of the recording, it shows some key, I would say, like competencies. And I'm not sure how to phrase that, but it's really helpful for a seller to say, okay, this was an area where I should have been focusing on objection handling, and maybe I didn't, right? So some of those things are really important right now.And then performance metrics as well. So we are looking at quota attainment, pipeline growth, conversion rates, sales cycle length. And for me, you know, these seem to be the biggest indicator of success. You know, because you really want to see that ROI.You know, we’re starting to see some of our DSRs that, in the early stages here, we’re winning business. And we do feel like this is a game changer for us because we’re showing up differently. RR: Awesome. I love to hear that. And as I said, I can't wait to hear more about how the momentum grows over time at Direct Travel.Maybe returning to the present, I know you’re still early, but I think it’s important to talk about your wins, right? So I’d love to know—maybe key wins or things that you’re proud of that you’ve achieved so far. Anything you can share with us? RH: Yeah, absolutely. So I would say, you know, through this pilot and launch that we’ve done, we have had sales reps just absolutely elated when they send out a digital sales room, and the very first time someone takes a look at the room, right, and they look at the content, they are sending messages in chat like, oh my gosh, it’s working! And that in and of itself is a testament as to why, you know, we rolled this out.In addition to that, like I was just mentioning, we have already some sellers that have created and used digital sales rooms for the entire sales process, and it has shortened the sales cycle.We have a few individuals where they started at discovery using an intro video, updating some content and collateral about our tech stack and services, and then used it all the way to starting to post the proposal and pricing.And then there we are—we won the business right after that. So it’s pretty impressive. So I think those are the big wins. Just again, you saw the usage, you know, in the high nineties. We’ve got many digital sales rooms that have been created, and we're winning business as a result of it. RR: Wonderful. I think that rep feedback says a lot. If you can get your reps excited, you’re getting exclamation points through Slack—you know you’re doing something right. It seems like you and your team are doing really great work.And I just want to close with one last question. I know you’re deeply involved in mentoring, and you’re a mentor in the GBTA WINiT organization.So to close, I’d love if you could share with us one or two pieces of advice that you would give to other women looking to develop as leaders and drive impact for their organization. RH: Yeah, absolutely. I think the number one thing that I would say to people is: say yes. There are so many times where an opportunity comes up—whether it’s a stretch goal, an opportunity to participate in a project, or to even apply for a position.So many times I’ve talked to women where they feel like, I don't have the skill, I don't have the knowledge, I don't feel comfortable taking that next step. And I always challenge them to say: what's holding you back and why?Right. One of the things I always share with them is multiple examples in my career path where I have said yes. I was nervous. I certainly did not have the experience or maybe even the skill. But I didn't want that to hold me back, because if someone is willing to invest in you, that is the testament in and of itself, right? That is the answer.So take that leap and have confidence in yourself and give it a whirl.And the other thing that I've had a lot of people say many times is: oh, now's not a good time. And there's always reasons to hold back. And I always respond: if not now, when?There's always going to be something. So get over that something and just go for it. RR: That's great advice. I love the idea of just, you know, invest in yourself. There's never a better time than now. I know I'll certainly be taking that to heart.But that's all I want to say—thank you so much for joining us today. It was fantastic to learn a little bit more about you, your work, and the incredible trajectory that Direct Travel is on. RH: Awesome. Thank you so much. I really appreciate the opportunity. RR: To our listeners, thank you for listening to this episode of the Win-Win podcast. Be sure to tune in next time for more insights on how you can maximize enablement success with Highspot.
