  1. How to rebuild enablement and RevOps around human judgement. With Erik Fowler

    Season 1, Episode 6

    Show notes

    Sales enablement still asks reps to memorize the product facts and objection handling that sit a click away inside AI tools.

    As chief revenue officer at Allego, Erik sees the problem from both sides. His own company ships AI tools faster than its sellers can absorb them.

    Close to thirty years in sales have also given him perspective: he remembers index cards, and the reps who refused to touch Salesforce when it arrived.
