Description

Industry research indicates that the average tenure for corporate sales leaders is 22 months. As a new sales leader, you're walking into a world of unknowns - and you have a short runway to make an impact. The first six months are critical to create momentum and demonstrate measurable results for the company.

New sales leaders need to quickly assess the current state of their organization, and make rational decisions on how to drive overall effectiveness. The question is, how do you know where to focus and invest in performance improvement that can create real impact - within a six month window?
 
Some of the most critical issues to come to terms with immediately are:
  • Does your current team have the essential skills and abilities needed to meet specific measureable goals?
  • If not, can you objectively identify knowledge and skill gaps that have the greatest (cause and effect) impact on your goals?
  • How can you accelerate the right behaviors for both sales people and managers to drive key outcomes?

We welcome you to join us to for this timely webinar where an expert panel will discuss a cutting edge approach that aligns Talent Analytics, Focused Learning and Sales Enablement to drive rapid performance improvement. Please join us to explore a new, data-driven approach for creating a six month win for new sales leaders - as well as a high impact improvement approach for existing sales leaders.
