The Role of Sales in Sales Enablement

However, with a regular commute time that consumes a couple of hours each day, I have shifted my focus to podcasts and audiobooks. One of my favorite podcasts is the Inside Sales Enablement series by Scott Santucci and Brian Lambert. In their last episode, they spent time reviewing their thoughts and insights from the Sales Enablement Soiree that recently took place in Boston. They spoke to the fact that there is a great deal of confusion and misalignment amongst practitioners, in part because of uncertainty about where sales enablement begins and ends.

Article | February 10, 2020

The ease with which internet of things devices can be compromised, coupled with the potentially extreme consequences of breaches, have prompted action from legislatures and regulators, but what group is best to decide? Both the makers of IoT devices and governments are aware of the security issues, but so far they haven’t come up with standardized ways to address them.
