The hard truth about Enablement

Here’s the hard truth about Enablement:
👉 When sellers hit quota, no one questions Enablement.
👉 When they don’t — Enablement is the first to go.

Why?
Because most Enablement teams operate in the Confusion Gap - that fuzzy, dangerous grey area where:
Nobody knows what Enablement truly owns
Leaders don’t understand how to fully leverage their Enablement function
Product Marketing, RevOps, and Enablement trip over each other
And everyone silently prays that this month’s pipeline saves the quarter
I’ve seen it happen across startups and scaleups again and again.
Enablement that isn’t tied to the GTM engine — dies quietly when the engine stalls.
💥 If you want to become indispensable, you need more than content calendars and onboarding checklists.
Here's the secret sauce to creating a greater impact:
Map every activity to revenue-critical stages in the buyer journey
Turn your “training” into operational readiness
Measure your impact like a CRO, CMO AND CCO
Reverse-engineer success from the Book of Business
Help leaders manage reps proactively, not retroactively analyze failure
That’s exactly why I wrote the Project Moneyball book series.
It’s not a theory dump.
It’s a blueprint for Enablement pros who want to break silos, build real alignment, and earn a seat at the strategic table — next to the CRO, not beneath them.
I’m mentoring and coaching individuals who want to land their dream GTM roles, just like I did.
If you're looking to break through, reinvent your path, or just need clarity on what’s next, I’m here.
I’m even happy to make warm referrals when I see the right fit.
