Samantha LaPointe has secured her spot in Enablement for the last 3+ years at DailyPay as the Director of GTM Enablement. Starting her career in retail management and outside sales, she quickly learned about training and development, the power of a structured onboarding program, and the need for coaching and mentorship to achieve long-term results and build a strong culture. In her current role, she scaled the Enablement team from 3 traditional team members to a team of 10 providing a multifaceted support model for GTM teams. She’s combined deal desk functions with traditional training and content efforts to move the needle and make a true business impact by shortening time to ramp and indirectly resulting in more closed business. She was recently appointed a Sales Enablement Collective (SEC) Ambassador and speaks annually at the Sales Enablement Summit (SES) event in New York City.
Prior to DailyPay, she worked in sales at Paychex and Cintas as well as retail at Bloomingdales, and Marciano.
