- Break to Educate - Understanding How Sales People Learn: It's not possible to move the needle from 33% to 50% overnight; not even if you have the best sales representatives. A good manager will watch the rep and see what's going on. The key to success is to first identify a couple of improvements with the biggest opportunity for impact. It is important to remember that the couple of improvement areas will be different for everyone - whether it's qualifying the leads better, or making the value propositions relevant, or networking more effectively - then let the opportunity work through the pipeline. An effective manager will work through the needle movers one at a time to drive an efficient sales team. It all comes down to training your team. Join us on April 6th from 9:00 am - 12:00 pm.
