In the past, Sales Training Programs were evaluated by things like:

Unfortunately, sales training that is based on tips, techniques or the speakers ability to talk doesnt pass the test of time. Effective sales training programs transfer knowledge into application. They are focused on the right selling skills.

Motivation

Fact: Without motivation there can be no learning at all. Use an assessment tool that identifies each salespersons needs for learning. See how the Action Selling Sales Skills Assessment creates this needed motivation based on identifying each persons selling skills needs.

Reinforcement

Fact: Follow-up reinforcement has proven to prevent relapse into old behavior. When the manager of the salesperson that is being trained does the follow-up reinforcement, it sends a signal that the salesperson will be held accountable for learning. It develops the coaching ability of the manager at the same time.

Retention

Fact: 87% of learning is forgotten in only 30 days. Without a systematic approach to learning, selling behavior will not change. The Action Selling Sales Training Programs and Sales Certification process follows Best Practices for Adult Education. From preparing students and managers for training, to conducting reinforcement, to assessing learning and certifying selling skills, effective sales training is a complete learning management system as shown in the image below.
