How HR & Enablement Train Employees to Recognize Advocates
Turn everyday interactions into advocacy moments. With RMOS, HR and Enablement equip Sales, CS, Marketing, and Product to spot promoters, secure permissions, and activate reviews, referrals, references, and stories—without slowing down the work.
HR and Enablement train employees to recognize advocates by standardizing signals, scripts, permissions, and routing. Teams learn to spot promoter cues (NPS≥9, unsolicited praise, feature milestones), ask the right question (“May we share this as a story?”), capture consent, and route an advocacy task (review, referral, reference, story) with SLAs and incentives. RMOS codifies this as a cross-functional play tied to pipeline, win rate, expansion, and NRR.
What Employees Learn to Spot
The Enablement Playbook: Recognize → Ask → Capture → Route → Publish → Attribute
Deliver a repeatable skill set that any employee can use in moments that matter.
Recognize → Ask → Capture → Route → Publish → Attribute → Govern
- Recognize promoter signals and milestone timing with role-specific examples and call-listen prompts.
- Ask with approved micro-scripts (“Would you consider a short review or a reference call?”).
- Capture quotes, metrics, and logo-use preferences; start the consent trail.
- Route to the advocacy queue (review/referral/reference/story) with owner and SLA.
- Publish assets to the library by industry/use case; enable sellers and CSMs.
- Attribute to opportunities and accounts; track win-rate lift, sourced pipeline, and cycle time.
- Govern via a monthly advocacy board that clears blockers and funds high-ROI plays.
