Integrated field sales enablement

I led the delivery of a field sales enablement capability to support the rollout of a field sales function, with a focus on visibility, productivity and operational consistency.

The work centred on aligning field sales activity tracking with core CRM lead management. Event-driven data synchronisation ensured that lead status and prospect information remained consistent across systems, reducing manual intervention and improving awareness of active opportunities.

Role and Responsibilities

My responsibilities covered discovery, delivery and operational readiness. Delivery pace was an important consideration, so the approach focused on selecting a proven solution that could be implemented quickly and reliably. Decisions were guided by implementation readiness and overall suitability rather than bespoke development, enabling progress without unnecessary complexity.

I worked closely with commercial and operational stakeholders to align on objectives and delivery expectations, supporting clear and timely decision-making. This ensured the capability was introduced in line with broader business priorities.

I defined the integration scope and designed clear data flows and process diagrams, enabling effective collaboration between technical teams and non-technical stakeholders. Working alongside dedicated CRM development resources, I supported timely implementation and acted as a quality assurance point throughout the delivery lifecycle.

Adoption, Iteration and Operational Stability

The solution performed effectively following launch, requiring only limited refinement as usage patterns emerged. Regular review sessions were held with field sales teams, establishing strong feedback loops and supporting incremental improvements.

As sales approaches evolved, additional lead status definitions were introduced to reflect more nuanced workflows. These changes were accommodated without disruption due to the flexibility of the integration design and the stability of the underlying platform.

The capability remained operationally stable, with minimal ongoing intervention required, allowing teams to focus on broader priorities while maintaining confidence in the sales data.

Outcomes and Impact

The outcome was a reliable field sales tracking capability that improved targeting, reduced data silos and increased visibility of active opportunities. Timely lead updates supported more informed decision making and provided a strong foundation for performance reporting and continuous improvement.

The approach balanced speed, clarity and governance, delivering value quickly while remaining adaptable as needs evolved.
