What's Inside
Role-based enablement architecture
- Competency maps for SDR, AE, AM/CSM, and managers tied to CRM evidence like dated next steps, MAPs, and contact roles
- Certification gates scored on real deals: validated SDR touches, AE opps with EB engagement, and renewals with success plans attached
- A RACI-style ownership model across training, content, messaging, and feedback so enablement accountability is unambiguous
90-day ramp system
- A 30/60/90 plan with pre-Day-1 inputs, weekly tactics, deliverables, and metrics covering LMS completion, pitch-backs, mock calls, and first-opp milestones
- Stage exits enforced through operational controls: dated next step, active MAP, and access to power required before any rep advances a deal
- Post-ramp cadence with weekly in-CRM pipeline reviews, two coaching sessions per rep, playbook v1.1 releases, and MAP-at-Qualification tracking
AI-driven coaching operations
- How conversational intelligence supports recording, topic tracking, CRM field updates, call scoring, and pipeline risk signals like single-threading or missing next steps
- Tool evaluation criteria covering custom AI summary templates by role, human-in-the-loop field updates with change logs, and tagged clips for onboarding
- Benchmark tables for win rate, cycle length, and forecast accuracy alongside activity targets like 80%+ follow-up and 90%+ next steps logged

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between sales enablement and sales training, and does this cheat sheet cover both?
Training is one input inside enablement — it's the skill-building piece. Enablement is the broader system: content, tooling, coaching cadence, CRM evidence gates, and cross-functional alignment that keeps reps performing after the training event ends. This cheat sheet covers both, including a full 30/60/90-day onboarding plan, post-ramp playbook releases, and a 5-stage continuous learning cycle that ties training back to measurable deal outcomes.
Do I need a dedicated sales enablement platform like Highspot or Seismic to use this, or can I run it with what I already have?
You don't need a dedicated platform to start — the cheat sheet is built around CRM hygiene, stage exit evidence, and manager coaching cadences that work in Salesforce or HubSpot. Where specific tools are referenced (Gong, Weflow, Outreach, Seismic), they're called out as options, not prerequisites. The core framework runs on a solid Ops Home, a competency grid, and a manager willing to do 30-minute pipeline reviews in the CRM without slides.
What data and inputs do I need in place before I can actually run the 30/60/90 onboarding plan from this cheat sheet?
The cheat sheet lists six required inputs that must exist before Day 1: stage exits with CRM validations, a role competency grid, a minimum asset pack (discovery checklist, MAP template, objection guide, shadowing log), a manager coaching kit, an Ops Home as a single source of truth, and conversation intelligence set up to auto-record and sync to CRM. If those aren't ready, new hires will hit a wall around Day 30 when they're supposed to start executing on real deals with evidence-backed stage moves.
Which parts of the onboarding and coaching process should stay human-led versus handed off to AI?
Certification gates — the live role-plays, deal reviews, and pass/fail evidence checks — should stay human-led because they require judgment about whether a rep actually understands the buyer situation, not just whether they filled in the fields. AI handles the productivity layer well: call summaries, CRM field suggestions, and surfacing coaching signals like talk ratio or missing next steps. The cheat sheet is explicit that AI coaching templates score meetings and flag risks, but a manager still needs to close the loop with the rep.
How do I know if my 30/60/90 onboarding is actually working, or if reps are just completing modules?
The cheat sheet gives you concrete pass/fail evidence gates at each phase — Day 30 requires a product quiz score of ≥85% and a live pitch-back; Day 60 requires a recorded mock call and a qualification scorecard on real opportunities; Day 90 requires at least three qualified opportunities, a CRM hygiene audit score of ≥90%, and pipeline coverage of 2–3× quota. LMS completion is tracked but treated as a lagging hygiene metric, not proof of readiness — the evidence gates in the CRM are what actually tell you if the rep can sell.
How often should I revisit and refresh the enablement assets and playbooks after the initial onboarding is done?
The cheat sheet recommends a quarterly play activation cycle — pick one or two plays per quarter, bundle the assets, run a four-week activation, and tag deals so you can measure impact. Individual assets like battlecards, talk tracks, and objection guides each get a DRI and a review date, with a sunset rule to prevent stale content from sitting in Ops Home. Between quarters, a monthly win/loss synthesis and a weekly "what changed and why" note in the change log keep the playbook current without requiring a full rewrite every cycle.
