How Do You Adapt Enablement to Virtual Selling?
Turn remote interactions into consistent pipeline and win-rate gains. Build digital-first playbooks, instrument meetings, and align RevOps so sellers deliver value on-camera, in-chat, and async.
Virtual selling enablement connects content, coaching, and cadence to the buyer’s digital signals. It operationalizes meeting choreography (pre/during/post), asynchronous follow-up (recaps, micro-demos), and RevOps governance (routing, SLAs, measurement) so every remote touch advances the deal—measured by show rate, multi-thread depth, stage conversion, and win rate.
What Changes for Virtual Selling?
The Virtual Selling Enablement Playbook
Use this sequence to turn remote conversations into revenue outcomes.
Plan → Prime → Run → Capture → Follow Up → Advance → Govern
- Plan the motion: Define objective, roles (host/producer/SME), and desired stage exit criteria.
- Prime the room: Send agenda & pre-reads, confirm attendees, share a 90-second context video, set interaction norms.
- Run the meeting: Open with ROI hypothesis, co-create success criteria, use interactive assets; log questions live.
- Capture signals: Tag decision makers, pain themes, competitive mentions; flag follow-ups and risks in CRM.
- Follow up asynchronously: Send a 2–4 minute recap, annotated deck, and tailored proof pack; request internal share.
- Advance the deal: Trigger next-best-actions—exec alignment call, technical validation, or commercial review.
- Govern & improve: Weekly call-score reviews, asset heatmaps, and conversion analysis; update playbooks.
