Procore:Who we are and what we do




Procore is the the world's most widely used construction project management software. Procore helps contractors keep track of projects through the entire lifecycle of a construction project, from bidding to closeout, and reduce errors and cost overruns.

Procore was featured on Forbes Next Billion-Dollar Startups 2016, and reached unicorn status on Dec 2016.

Headquartered in Carpinteria, CA, Procore has over 700 employees with 7 offices across the United States.

What does Procore do?



Answering the “Why”

1. Rapidly growing sales team across the country (new offices, field sales)2. Keeping salespeople up-to-date on constantly evolving product, industry and

competition. 3. Need for alignment of messaging and process in hyper-growth sales team

(ramped reps + new hires)4. Effective management and delivery of sales collateral to ensure consistent

customer experience

The only constant is change.

Sales Readiness

Sales Enablement

Sales

Our MissionEnable sales to sell more, faster, and easier.

Our TeamSales Enablement is the facilitator to drive anything and everything to ensure sales success.

Our ApproachSales Readiness at Procore facilitates excellence in three primary areas of sales

● Selling Skills● Product/Industry● Technology/Efficiency

Focuses on building knowledge, process and skills across the three areas of excellence.



Our Process Sales Enablement seeks to maximize core selling activities in order maximum the output of each rep.

The above is a representation from the SiriusDecisions Sales Enablement Model.



Our TeamSales Enablement at Procore is structured into two distinct categories. All roles within the categories function as a conduit between sales and the respective department (based on initiative)

1. Segment Based2. Functional Based

Focuses on mapping out challenges, proposed solutions, and rollout. Structure will be heavily dependent on your industry, size of team, stage of company, etc.

Segment Based Functional Based

● SMB, Mid-market, Enterprise, Install, Sales Dev, Sales Eng, etc.

● Technology, Content, Communication, Readiness, Product, Competitive, etc.

Receivers + Running back Offensive Line

Coaching Staff

Sales Enablement, supports the business sponsor, and pilot groups through the process to help drive a successful completion of the initiative.

Business Sponsor, typically member(s) with the most passion for the initiative, or whomever has the most stake.

Sales Pilot Group, typically a small group of sales reps that will pilot the initiative - focused on identifying any changes, and responsible for rollout to larger group.

Sales Leadership Alignment, the greater management team to ensure full team alignment and support of the initiative.

Business Sponsorship AnalogyDriving a successful initiative is very similar to executing a successful play. Sales Enablement is not the business sponsor of sales initiatives - we function as a facilitator.

Sales Readiness at Procore
