SEP in most of the times is been used by salesmen and it is a combination of typical/generic CRM features + advanced VOIP telephony features (salesmen being able to receive calls on their mobile) + automation (to remind salesmen their tasks or pending activities) + ready-made workflows and templates for various niches i.e. dealerships + analytics & tracking Sales enablement is ensuring salespeople have access to whatever resources they need to get the job done, whether that’s data analytics, coaching modules, scripts, templates, or marketing collateral. It’s a process of “help them help your business,” whereby Sales leaders and Sales managers remove as many barriers to uptime as possible, leaving a frictionless, smooth prospect engagement from start to finish. A sales engagement platform is a system of engagement that compliments a system of record—like a CRM—and is comprised of five key components: * content management, * communications, * predictive analytics, * CRM integration, and * partner applications.

Social Customer Relationship Management, or social CRM, refers to the methods and deployment of customer relationship management tools over social networks.
