Sales training appears to be a lost art these days,
Companies no longer train their sales people. Every business wants to hire hot shot, proven guys who can hit the road running. That’s the only way to run a cost effective sales function, or at least thats the way it seems. They treat sales reps like disposables – throw them in the deep end and see who swims. Somehow find the numbers, or find another job.
If you’re reading this article its likely you are in the sales business somehow, or would like to be. Maybe you’re an entrepreneur starting your own business and taking on the challenges of sales for the first time. Did you get some training? Will you get some sales training? Or will you just get stuck in and hope it works out OK?
Where will you find the lessons you need? How will you know its any good? Are you prepared to invest time, money and ego – finding out how to do the job properly? Or will you buy a book hoping for an overnight transformation? Please don’t do that. It never works.
Maybe we can help?
