Welcome Back to the Show!

In this week’s episode of Creating Distance, Tom Alaimo sits down with Deb Jenson, a revenue enablement leader at IBM, to explore the evolving landscape of sales enablement.

She emphasizes the importance of personalization in sales and introduces her 'layer cake' model of enablement, which highlights the need for strong foundational skills and structured methodologies.
