# 8 65% of sales reps can’t find content to send to prospects
Communication between sales and marketing is so important—it’s a main component of sales enablement. Marketing templates and documents need to be easily accessible and customizable.
Salespeople 
I listen to salespeople who regularly show their resistance to ongoing communication with prospects and clients as “What am I going to say or send them? The marketing department manages email blasts….” In a time when retail showrooms need to…

5. Personalized emails have higher open rates
Sales enablement statistics show us that people are more likely to associate vague, impersonal emails with spam. Personalizing the subject line or introductory sentence of an email can make all the difference. 
For Salespeople Be specific in the subject line: “About the sofa you liked…” If you created a next step with the prospect, this will be an easy email. If you didn’t, yet got their email address, it is important that the subject line is eye-cat…

4. An average buyer gets 100+ emails a day, opens 23% and clicks on only 2%
It’s hard to break through when you’re an unknown sender. Make sure prospects are getting your messages with interesting and engaging email content, and make sure to
