For this episode Paul Butterfield invited veteran sales pros Ryan Simpson, Tyler Smith and Taylor Baranowski to discuss their holiday “wish list” of what they hope Sales Enablement teams are thinking about for 2021. With over 30 years of collective experience in direct and channel sales they bring real world insights into:

●      How sales enablement needs differ between direct and channel sales teams

●      How should sales enablement think about sales leadership development

●      Best practices and gaps they’ve seen in sales enablement programs

Ryan has also led sales teams at Vonage, Stamps.com and Cbeyond. He earned his B.S. in Business from San Diego State University and is a U.S. Navy veteran. 

Tyler recently joined AppDynamics to lead their Mountain States enterprise sales team. Tyler previously worked with leading customer experience companies NICEinContact, RingCentral and TalkDesk.
