    To quickly recap: Volume 1 centered on how to get started with sales enablement.  We reviewed important roles, responsibilities, technology decisions, and the path to a successful launch.  Volume 2 was dedicated to deployment and ongoing operations, including content mapping, validation, training, evangelism, and maintaining high performance.  Both Volumes feature important recommendations and serve as a preface to today’s installment.

    In Volume 3, we refine what it means to be a sales enablement expert.  Optimization, solution health, and strategic leadership are the focal points, with special emphasis on sales enablement as a key to improving conversion rates.
