The Broken Model

Why "Deal → Pitch Me" Enablement Fails in the AI Era

Traditional sales enablement operates on a reactive loop: a deal appears, a rep raises their hand, and enablement scrambles to provide training, content, or coaching. By the time help arrives, the product has evolved, the competitive landscape has shifted, and the deal has moved on.

The Old Enablement Playbook

1
Deal Appears A rep encounters a complex opportunity and realizes they need help
2
Request Submitted Rep asks for training, content, or coaching through Slack, email, or enablement portal
3
Enablement Scrambles Team searches for materials, schedules sessions, creates custom content—days or weeks later
4
Knowledge Delivered (Too Late) By the time training arrives, the product has changed, competitor moved, or deal momentum died
5
Repeat for Every Deal Each new opportunity triggers the same reactive cycle—enablement never gets ahead

What Breaks Down

Too Slow

Deals move faster than enablement teams can respond. Reps need answers in seconds, not days.

Always Outdated

Static content libraries become obsolete the moment your product ships a new feature or a competitor launches.

Doesn't Scale

Every rep needs different guidance at different times. Enablement teams can't be everywhere at once.

Context-Free

Generic training doesn't account for your specific deal, buyer, or competitive situation.

Inconsistent Execution

Every rep interprets training differently, leading to mixed messaging and unpredictable outcomes.

Purely Reactive

Enablement never anticipates needs—it only responds after reps get stuck.

The "deal → pitch me" model treats enablement as a support function instead of a competitive advantage.
