Field Sales Enablement: The Drive-Time Podcast
Your field sales reps drive 3-4 hours a day between customer meetings. That’s 15-20 hours per week of potential learning time that’s currently filled with sports radio and Spotify.
Meanwhile, product marketing sends enablement emails nobody reads. The competitive intel deck is 6 months old. New feature launches get Slack messages that field reps miss.
The Problem With Sales Enablement Today
- Enablement emails: Sent from HQ. Open rate: 22%. Field reps are driving when they arrive.
- Training calls: Scheduled during selling time. Attendance: low.
- Slack channels: Unread messages pile up. By the time the rep looks, the intel is buried.
- Competitive decks: Updated quarterly. Outdated by month 2.
The Drive-Time Solution
Sales enablement becomes a daily podcast your reps listen to between meetings.
What the sales enablement team saves to audiclip:
- New feature announcements and how to pitch them
- Competitive intel as it breaks (competitor price change, new product launch)
- Account-specific news for key targets
- Win/loss analysis summaries
- Customer case studies and success stories
- Market trends relevant to their territory
What the rep hears: A 15-20 minute podcast during their drive to the next meeting. Two hosts discuss each update: “Here’s the new feature. Here’s the pitch angle. Here’s the objection to expect. Here’s the competitor’s response.”
Why This Changes Win Rates
The rep who walks into a meeting having heard:
- “Your prospect’s competitor just raised a Series B”
- “We launched a new integration yesterday that’s relevant to this account”
- “The competitor dropped their price by 15% — here’s how to position against it”
…closes at a higher rate than the rep who didn’t read this morning’s enablement email.
