Whether your organization is now returning to the office, staying remote, or implementing a hybrid model, there is a need to connect employees together and create meaningful collaboration to support organizational priorities. Plus, employees are looking for ways to stay connected with each other and methods for accelerating their ability to upskill in areas critical to team, organizational and personal success.

Do your salespeople sound great in role play, then fall apart on a sales call?  It does not matter if you have the perfect sales script - scripts only work if you give the prospect their lines and tell them exactly what to say and how to say it.  If you can do that, your salespeople will be just as effective on sales calls as they are in your sales meetings.  Instead of worrying about developing the "perfect sales script," focus on coaching your sales team for conversational fluency.

In 1965, the Beatles released a hit song, "Try to See It My Way... Think of what you're saying… Think of what I’m saying… We can work it out," an overnight sensation with an optimistic message. But on the job, "working it out" requires more than optimism. It demands time, effort, and know-how.
