Enablement
By Seismic On May 15, 2026
You’ve invested the time and money into providing your sellers with technology, content, and resources that set them up for success. But are you checking in on your investment?
Sales enablement includes the resources, content, and technology your go-to-market (GTM) team uses to make your reps more productive and efficient. Monitoring the performance of your sales enablement tools and efforts allows you to make adjustments to your strategy and maximize its impact. Continuously measuring key performance indicators will allow your organization to understand what works, what doesn’t, and optimize your sales enablement program.
The term sales enablement has come to mean different things to different people, depending on their industry or company. At Seismic, we define sales enablement as the process of equipping sellers with the resources, content, and technology to sell effectively. In essence, the tools your sellers use to engage buyers fall under the umbrella of sales enablement.
The way your organization approaches sales enablement will vary based on the needs of your business, its sellers, and customers. Depending on your goals and objectives, there are several ways your organization might define success. We’ve identified a handful of ways sales enablement can positively impact your organization:
On paper, sales enablement sounds like a no-brainer investment. However, it is still imperative to track the ongoing progress of your sales enablement framework. After all, it would be a waste of time, energy, and resources without measuring its impact. And when it comes to sales enablement, success data, and metrics should be reviewed often to determine if it’s working. Despite this importance, only 68% of organizations feel confident in the data they use to track the effectiveness of their sales enablement efforts.
Want to start putting the numbers in your favor? In the next few sections, we’ll explain what metrics to keep an eye on and how to measure sales enablement success.
The truth is, the success of your sales enablement system is most clearly observed in the way that the day-to-day activities of your sellers improve. However, it’s important to look at a few key metrics for a more eagle-eyed view of the situation. Here’s a breakdown of some key performance indicators to track in your team’s sales enablement dashboard.
Sales activity metrics track the overall performance and behaviors of your sales team. They can include things like how many calls a seller makes in a day, and can highlight weak spots in your sellers’ productivity or sales enablement process. Some good places to start checking in on your sellers include:
It’s also essential to understand the impact your sales enablement content has on deals. After all, the content your prospects access can make or break a deal. This can also help teams better understand what content is most useful to sellers and popular with buyers. When studying your content performance consider spending time on:
Sales training and coaching play a significant role in sales enablement.. This portion of your sales enablement strategy equips sellers with the skills and knowledge they need to understand your organization’s sales process, its content, and buyer personas. The following metrics can be used to measure training and coaching:
By keeping track of seller behavior, performance metrics, content effectiveness, and training activity, go-to-market teams can identify trends and patterns with their sales enablement strategy. This will make it easier to determine what is working and what needs improvement to ensure sales enablement is driving the most success possible.
