Today’s sales and talent development professionals are facing a unique set of challenges. The growth of mobile technology, increasingly complex solutions, greater competition, and the need for reps to engage in more value-added selling techniques have forced training organizations to innovate to keep pace.

The good news is that powerful digital options for managing and measuring team performance are making it possible to engage sales teams in exciting new ways, uncovering what their teams really know while making those data actionable across the enterprise. In this webcast, the presenters will share lessons learned from their own experience, including how to:

  • Extend learning beyond the learning management system to critical sales systems.
  • Create a data-driven coaching culture that motivates both reps and managers.
  • Turn your sales reps into problem solvers rather than “pitch men.”
