    432 — Sales enablement for product teams
    Feb 18 2025
    In last week’s episode of The Mindtools L&D Podcast, we explored sales enablement from the perspective of sales and marketing teams. But where do product teams fit in? Beyond building products, what role do these teams play in generating revenue? For the second instalment in our two-part series on sales enablement, Ross D and Lara are once again joined by Darren Bezani, Chief Salecologist at Salecology, to discuss: why it’s important to involve product teams in sales enablement; the behaviors we want product teams to demonstrate; how L&D can support this, beyond simply providing training. To learn more about Darren’s work, head to salecology.com. In ‘What I Learned This Week’, Lara mentioned A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Mass. Ross D recommended Warren Zanes’ book Deliver Me from Nowhere, exploring the making of Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska. For more from us, visit mindtools.com.

    431 — Sales enablement for sales and marketing teams
    Feb 11 2025
    All sales training is sales enablement, but not all sales enablement is sales training. In this week’s episode of The Mindtools L&D Podcast, Ross Dickie and Lara are joined by Darren Bezani, Chief Salecologist at Salecology, to discuss: what ‘sales enablement’ means, and why it’s intentionally broader in scope than sales training; what sales enablement is designed to achieve, beyond increased sales; the role of managers in sales enablement. To learn more about Darren’s work, head to salecology.com. In ‘What I Learned This Week’, Lara recommended the ‘How to Unlock the Power of Your Subconscious Mind’ episode of Dr Rangan Chatterjee’s Feel Better Live More podcast. Ross D discussed Ben Betts’ blog post ‘The fall of click-next e-learning: What Operator means for training’. For more from us, visit mindtools.com.

    430 — Digital learning for behavior change
    Feb 4 2025
    Those of who work in learning and development like to think we're in the business of behavior change. But we often don't have an in-depth understanding of what current behaviors are, or how to change them. In this week’s episode of The Mindtools L&D Podcast, Ross Garner is joined by Ross Dickie and Dr Anna Barnett to discuss: methods for understanding behavior; digital learning methods for changing behavior; methods for measuring change. During the discussion, Ross Garner described the Dunning-Kruger effect. Ross Dickie mentioned libertarian paternalism, very much a friend-of-the-show. Anna referenced the COM-B model of behavior change. In ‘What I Learned This Week’, Anna recommended a presentation from the Behavioral Insights Team, and Ross G referenced his video on nudge theory. Ross Dickie discussed Jevon’s paradox, based on Satya Nadella’s tweet about Chinese AI firm DeepSeek. And Ross Garner recommended a thread on X, where famous movie scenes are recreated as Lego.
