Sales Enablement in Healthcare & Engineering: What's Working Right Now

Something's shifted in B2B sales over the past couple of years, and if you're in healthcare or engineering, you're probably feeling it more than most. We've been talking to sales teams and marketing leaders in these industries, and the same themes keep coming up. Buyers who've already done most of their homework before the first conversation.

During my PhD, I studied multilingual health communication in Brussels, with a focus on Moroccan-background communities, particularly speakers of Darija and Amazigh.
