ASTD Lunch & Learn ~ Share, Learn, Grow!
Sales Training: Mission Impossible or Mission Accomplished?
Date: Friday, September 6th
Time: 11:45 to 12:45 (arrive at 11:30 for networking)
Location: Peak Performance Solutions (details below)
Let’s face it. For training leaders without a sales background, being assigned to sales training can feel like the kiss of death.
When you consider that:
- ES Research Group, Inc. estimates that 80 to 85 percent of sales training produces no long-term impact (after 90 days)
- ASTD’s recent State of Sales Training research reported that half the respondents felt that 50 percent or less of the training they received was relevant to their job…it seems like Mission Impossible.
There is a way to tame the beast, though. You can follow a system and produce great results for your internal sales clients and your company. In the process, you can establish yourself as an organizational leader who deserves the coveted “seat at the table.”
