Many of you know that my book, Effective Sales Enablement, was launched at the end of October. I’ve received positive and negative comments by those who’ve read the book. Thank you so much!

I want to take an opportunity to address some of the comments that were raised by you who read the book. There were three comments I’d like to discuss:

  1. Your book talks about many topics. There doesn’t seem to be a focus.
  2. I was looking for how-two templates, but I didn’t see many.
  3. There are many ideas, and it’s overwhelming.

Your book talks about many topics, and there doesn’t seem to be a focus

Ok, a good point. I know that I touch on many topics in the book.

Sales enablement is still evolving, and marketing can support sales in many different ways depending on your jobs and responsibilities.

Because marketing is dynamics and situational, I want to make sure that I cover many marketing related topics so no matter what job functions you do, you’ll find something useful.

If you perceive that as lack of focus, my most sincere apologies.

I was looking for how-to templates, and I didn’t see many

Again, another great point! This book was written for marketers who understand the foundation of sales and marketing. This book is about to elevate your knowledge and help you connect marketing and sales dots. I shared how-to steps on key topics, but I didn’t provide many templates. If you are looking for templates for specific topics, let me know. Templates should be situational-based.

There are many topics, and it’s overwhelming

I get it! I wrote the book, I know. The chapters are topic-driven. I detailed each chapter in the preface. I suggest that you read the chapters that are relevant to you — no need to read the book from a back-to-back. You can jump around between chapters. Read the chapters which are relevant to you and focus on the ideas that can apply to you.

Ok, I got one question from my FB post: What if I am not in marketing, will this book be helpful?

I wrote this book with a specific audience in mind: B2B marketing and sales professionals. If you are not in marketing, you may find something useful, but you may not. It’s your call. As I said, I wrote this book with B2B marketing and sales professionals in mind.
