LONDON, 27th January 2021 — Highspot, the sales enablement platform that helps companies get the most from their customer-facing teams, today announced soaring customer growth as companies including Aetna, a CVS Health company; DocuSign, DuPont, Euler Hermes, General Motors, John Deere, ManpowerGroup, Milliken & Company, Nestle, Samsung Electronics America and Verizon Media use Highspot to increase the impact of their revenue teams. Highspot connected more than three million salespeople, channel partners, services reps and customers in modern, digital sales experiences last year, representing a 100 percent increase in platform usage from 2019.
The remote reality has accelerated the pace of digital transformation and changed the way go-to-market teams engage buyers. According to Gartner, Inc., 80 percent of business-to-business sales will happen digitally through 2025 (Gartner, “The Future of Sales”, M. Buckley, T. Travis, 8 September 2020). Moreover, Forrester Research stated, “To thrive in 2021 and beyond, B2B sellers will need the right enablement tools to enhance their productivity and engage with prospects and customers in more meaningful ways.” (Predictions 2021: B2B Sales, Forrester Research, Inc., October 23, 2020).
“All of the change we’ve witnessed has only intensified the importance of enablement for any role that engages with customers,” said Robert Wahbe, CEO, Highspot. “Last year, we released industry-first, native product capabilities that are fundamentally changing how companies drive business outcomes. Our unified enablement platform delivers true agility that helps our customers adapt, perform and achieve consistent revenue performance in any environment.”
