As a customer-centric B2B business, your seasoned sales representatives will know customer satisfaction will always take precedence over training however, observing this practice is training. Best practice for on-the-job sales training involves assigning a trusted mentor to your trainee. On-the-job training allows your sales team to work with real customers while learning from a more seasoned person on the team. Industry training includes product knowledge, market knowledge, and customer knowledge. Your sales team must become experts on everything happening within your company and your industry.

Teaching industry knowledge is an excellent place to start when developing sales training programs. Training your sales team is a win-win for everyone involved. Lower employee turnover also helps increase profits.

In the following week, all our Reps will go through the best in class sales and customer success training covering the entire sales funnel, skills, mindset and coaching frameworks. The impact on GTM, the operational level, the business model and the underlying data required makes it unbeatable for me. They all have their importance but falling short covering the entire funnel from prospecting, closing/winning to onboarding and LTV -> that is why we adopt the #SPICED framework).įor me as a Rep (long time ago) and as Revenue Leader, the SPICED framework was and is a game changer. (why? well spoiler #BANT, #MEDDIC all nice but not state of the art because they are #seller-centric and not #customer-centric.

We started a 360 approach to level up everything from sales org, to processes, tool stack and of course our GTM market approach. A few weeks ago we joined forces with Winning by Design.
