Training for Success

Sales Training Programs

Sales training programs don't  work because...

  • Inappropriate or lack of a training needs analysis
  • Blanket approach, off the shelf programs not suitable to specific business needs 
  • Irrelevant material or content
  • Neither the business culture nor the provider supports the training post
  • Insufficient time or opportunity to practise new skill

Training that neglects to include behaviour change elements are unlikely to succeed.
Off-the-shelf or poorly designed programmes that have not taken into consideration the specific business requirements or the attendees' needs will not attract the commitment for skills improvement. Insufficient time or practice opportunities and inadequate coaching will fail to deliver the culture changes required.
Without the support network enabling all the areas identified to come to fruition, up to 80 per cent of skills gained can be lost within three months.  

SUCCESS TRAiN sales training programs work because we...

  • work with the client to customise training based on the needs analysis and company focus
  • create a balance of practical activity and self assessments to evaluate the effectiveness of the operation
  • encourage a change in attitudes and behaviours to become the catalyst to positive results
  • implement a change in culture with the application of new learning.
  • provide a support network to enable profitable ROI (return on investment)

 

Sales TrainingLearning a new behaviour or habit takes more than attending a training session. Becoming an expert in a new field won't happen by attending training alone. Attempting a new language, learning a musical instrument or how to play tennis or golf, wont be mastered unless the new skills are PRACTISED.

The SUCCESS TRAiN training programs  will ensure that the sales training delivers the desired results by addressing the training needs, coupled with manager training and in field coaching.

A training program represents 10% of the participant's development. 20% of the learning is seeking out subject matter experts, reading and referring to reference materials. 70% is about utilising the new skills, experimenting and practicing.

By applying all of these principles, the newly acquired sales skills will result in profitable results, increased revenue, better margins and stronger customer relationships.
