#147: Laura Valerio - Prioritize Strategic Goal When Implementing a Sales-Enablement Program

In this week's episode of the Scale Your Sales podcast, I'm joined by Laura Valerio, a sales enablement expert who is more of a Jedi master than a mere expert. She discussed her experience as a senior sales leader, mentioning that she had worked in both the buyer's and seller's roles while also assisting organizations in the implementation of sales enablement programs. She also touched on diversity, her hopes for diverse teams, and the reasons why it is so crucial. One of Laura's three pillars, which she discussed, is basically about being focused on your consumer and using empathy to understand them as well as their future. When developing a sales enablement program, you should set objectives and concentrate on both your own and the customer's strategic goals. She is a committed, enthusiastic, results-driven sales leader with a wealth of sales expertise, and there is a lot packed into that. Laura Valerio has successfully led worldwide business sales enablement initiatives at companies including Expedia, Deliveroo, and Vodafone. She has expertise managing different sales teams internationally and was named the year's top enablement executive by Sales Enablement Pro in 2022. Welcome to Scale Your Sales Podcast Laura Valerio.
