If you're frustrated that your sales teams struggle to consistently hit targets despite significant investment in training, you're not alone.
Many organizations fall short of realizing the potential of sales training due to four main reasons:
1. Training often has only a short-term effect on performance because what is learned isn't consistently applied and reinforced.
2. Sales managers, often top performers themselves, lack a proven methodology to effectively boost their team's productivity.
3. Salespeople struggle to balance prospecting, presenting, negotiating, closing, and client nurturing, leading to cycles of feast and famine.
4. It’s challenging for sales leaders to conduct meetings and training sessions that are engaging and impactful for both new and experienced salespeople.
So, how can sales leaders effectively address these challenges if traditional training lacks the flexibility and interaction needed for lasting impact? The solution lies in developing new training toolkits that sales managers can tailor to the specific needs of their teams. These toolkits should enable managers to foster team interaction and deliver best practices in an engaging and manageable way.
Global companies like Shell are leading the charge by using such innovative systems. Their adoption of 'The Sales Activator' is a prime example. This system is designed to address the gaps in traditional sales training by equipping managers with the tools and content to continuously develop their sales teams.
Elza Muller, Learning and Development Manager at Shell, explains: "People learn without realizing and benefit from the shared experiences of their colleagues. It can be integrated into team meetings, requiring no additional resources. Coaching can be distributed across teams, spreading the skill and ensuring the business manager is involved in addressing training-related issues."
By leveraging these modern approaches, organizations can transform their sales training from a short-term boost to a sustainable, impactful process that drives success.
