Sales Enablement for Consumer Packaged Goods
Competition in the Consumer Packaged Goods industry had been rising steadily throughout the years and the global pandemic has put even more pressure on already squeezed margins. With only minor differences in product offerings between brands, creating a better buying experience is a key differentiator in B2B sales.

Squeezed Margins
Fierce competition and reduced market growth require CPG companies to differentiate further from competitors. Sellers need to provide added value throughout the buying cycle. Differentiate from the competition with data-driven insights tied into just-in-time training and on-brand communication.
High Buyer Expectations
Increased customer-centricity, a more informed buyer and limited customer face time push sellers to create a unique buying experience by leveraging new technologies and transitioning into consultative selling. Access to easy-to-digest learning gives reps invaluable insights.
Fast Production-to-Market Cycle
Getting to the market first is crucial in beating the competition. But with new products being launched almost weekly, marketers are under pressure to distribute relevant content fast so sellers can keep pace with each new product launch. Accurate analytics are crucial for an efficient content creation strategy.
