Coaching & field performance: Implement a scalable coaching system (call listening/scoring, role plays, deal reviews, pipeline inspection) to improve seller effectiveness and confidence.
Curriculum & skill progression: Own a tiered curriculum (foundational → advanced) that strengthens consultative selling, financial planning acumen, and competitive value defense.
Playbooks, talk tracks, and messaging: Create and maintain a single source of truth for sales playbooks, discovery guides, objection handling, competitive positioning, and best practices—built for real field use and adoption.
Measurement & impact: Define enablement KPIs, track adoption and proficiency, and tie programs to business outcomes (ramp time, conversion rates, win rates, cycle time, call quality).
Financial services standards (must-have): Partner with Compliance/Legal to ensure training, messaging, and field tools support compliant communication and high-integrity client engagement.
Team leadership: Lead and develop a high-performing enablement team and/or a network of field champions.
