About Sales Progress

Truth be told, most companies today still rely on group classroom training to improve their people's performance and hopefully their bottom line.

For most, these are "events" soon forgotten resulting in minimal, if any, significant change.

At Sales Progress, we turn traditional training on its ear. We combine technology and personalized learning to help you lead and sustain employee development. Sales Progress distinguishes what you want from your people, provides the tools to help them practice, and offers management guidance to encourage better performance long term.

What's more, we provide proprietary, web-based tools with all the attributes adult learners want - convenience, independence, and personalization. Together our Coaching, ScoreBoard and Training Generator systems will:

• Assess your employee's developmental needs
• Build a foundation with base training
• Sustain the momentum through automated and continuous learning
• Analyze and measure progress, and provide ongoing manager coaching

Sales Progress is committed to helping you develop the skills, knowledge, behaviors and creativity you want from your staff...because we know that top performing people deliver bottom line results.
