Episode notes
Train Managers First To Scale Behavior
- Prioritize training managers before reps to scale behavior change across teams.
- Nate made managers the primary enablement audience at Tableau, using them to practice, reinforce, and cascade new messaging to reps.
Start Enablement By Diagnosing With Data
- Diagnose with data first, then map specific competencies to the business problem before designing the program.
- At Tableau Nate used quota, win rates and account metrics to build an enterprise competency plan before training.
Measure Confidence And Immediate Relevance
- Track simple adoption and relevance metrics you can collect immediately (CSAT, sentiment, confidence, immediate relevance).
- Databricks measured rep confidence before/during/after sessions to see real skill movement without complex tooling.
