Let’s be real. Sales training shouldn’t be like “catch and release” when fishing. The event-based sales training approach of the past hasn’t produced bottom line results, except for the elite producers, who are at the far right of the performance bell-curve and are lifelong learners. We need an approach that works for everyone, or as many as possible.

To produce organizational change, you need a sustained, multi-prong approach.

Learning platforms or sales enablement and readiness platforms – if used wisely and implemented well – offer an advantage of:

• Delivering training in ways that modern learners want to learn (and that make learning easier)
• Providing reinforcement, to help your sales reps remember what was taught
• Supporting practice and feedback, to develop skills to prepare for application with buyers
• Enabling transfer or supporting on-the-job workflow support

Join Mike Kunkle on this episode of Sales Transformation Straight Talk™ to learn how to maximize your learning platform or sales enablement/sales readiness software, to drive the value you need from your sales training.
