Register now for Thursday webinar with Andrew Reed & Robin Schaffer on Sales Enablement

ByDuncan Chapple May 13, 2014May 14, 2014

Following our previous webinar which offered an excellent introduction into the what and why of Sales Enablement, we had a call with Robin Schaffer, Analyst Relations professional at NICE Systems, and Andrew Reed, previously an AR leader at IBM and now at Kea Company, to discuss our next webinar. The initial thought was that we wanted to cover the planning and execution of a good Sales Enablement programme. However, it didn’t take long to realise that this was a topic that is too complex to cover in just one webinar. Therefore are very pleased to announce that Kea Company will be hosting a series of three webinars together with Andrew and Robin! Thursday May 15, we’ll be hosting the first one, which will cover starting your Sales Enablement and how to help Sales at a basic level.

Both Andrew and Robin come well equipped with their fair share of experience and war stories. Andrew has spent over 18 years in corporate communications and marketing, including 6 years at FileNet, where he led the Analyst Relations programme. After IBM’s acquisition of FileNet, Mr. Reed was instrumental in managing their Analyst Relations programme for enterprise content management, successfully maintaining leadership positions in key signature research reports.

Robin has over 22 years of strategic marketing communications and product marketing experience at AT&T and, since 2004, at NICE Systems. She has brought a strategic, customer-experience focus to Analyst Relations at NICE Systems. Over the course of the last two years, she has developed a Sales Enablement programme and has been actively engaged with over 30 of the deals of the NICE sales force since february.

‘Win Them Over’ wins global distribution
ByDuncan Chapple May 2, 2007October 18, 2019
Ingram, the world’s largest book wholesaler, has taken over the distribution of Efrem Mallach’s book. The twentieth anniversary edition was published in 2007, and Win Them Over remains the first and best book on analyst relations — and the only such book to also address itself to the influence of consultants. It’s the perfect basis…

Discussing the effectiveness of analyst outreach
ByDuncan Chapple January 4, 2006March 23, 2008
Evaluating the effectiveness of analyst outreach is Lighthouse’s key activity. One insight it gives us is that even vendors with well-resourced and positive media relations often develop poor relationships with analysts. Typically, that’s because analyst relations managers are measuring the wrong things, or nothing at all. As we have explained back in July, without objective…

ByDuncan Chapple November 7, 2008February 28, 2020
Our Credo series on relationship management fundamentals gets on to the issue of timing this month: it’s an issue that should give some readers quite a few reasons to think.

Don’t assume analysts only follow their domestic market
ByDuncan Chapple March 13, 2007December 29, 2021
I had an interesting comment in an email recently: Why does Lighthouse emphasise cross-cultural differences so much? I think a lot of people will be offended by the way you call attention to these differences, especially since it comes across as stereotypically anti-American. More seriously, some people will think that you’re suggesting putting analysts in…

Ten ways to beat the recession
ByDuncan Chapple April 2, 2009August 4, 2022
The protests outside the G20 summit in London reminded me that for every action there’s an equal and opposite reaction. Every problem is an opportunity for someone, even in this current recession. There have been four recessions in recent history; this one is different. Consumers are loaded with debt, the return on savings is falling,…
