The Key to Making Sales Training Stick

Sales training is a method of teaching employees how to accurately and effectively offer a product or service to a customer, as well as, follow through and closing sales for an organization. The learning objectives of effective sales training programs are generally to improve the relationship between sales professionals and their clients, as well as to improve the sales performance and close rates of sales professionals.

Organizations engage in sales training programs for many reasons. Despite the best of intentions, many  sales training programs often fall short of the mark and fail to deliver the business results that the executive team was originally looking for. This failure is frequently caused by a lack of clear expectations.  What is supposed to happen differently on the day after the training?  How will the key skills be reinforced after the sales training? What will the sales managers and or coaches do before, during and after the training to support the program and help ensure adoption of the new skills?

Countless studies have shown, unless there is a well-planned reinforcement program in place, sales professionals will likely forget 80% of the sales training material within 90 days after the training is delivered.

There are many options to consider in a comprehensive reinforcement program, including on-demand reinforcement videos, intermittent testing, periodic role plays, one-on-one coaching and group reinforcement sessions. In our experience, each of these can be an effective part of a reinforcement program, however, the overall initiative will likely not succeed without the direct involvement and engagement from the sales managers and or coaches.

The best way to protect your organization’s investment in sales training is through sales coach training. Sales coaching is the most direct way to impact sales team performance.  We can help to equip your sales managers and coaches with the skills and strategies they need to make a positive difference and guide their sales professionals to superior sales performance.
