    The Tell-Tail Signs Your Training Is A Success

    Training: intended for use during an introductory, learning, or transitional period.

          Training is a tool that is typically associated with improvement, and it has a variety of uses in the business world. Companies use it to make sure their employees know the features, advantages and benefits of the product they are selling. They can employ sales trainers to help their staff overcome fears or improve attitudes. Managers can use training as a way of bringing their sales team together. All in all, companies turn to training because they believe that it will positively affect results. But how do managers know that the training worked? How do they know that sales training sustainability occurred? 

         There are some sales assessment tools that managers can use to measure the success of any sales training program:

    Compare the amount of calls your inside salesperson was making before training to after.- Look at the amount of time that your sales rep took between each call. Was there higher resistance to placing another call before or after training?

    - Are the employees going to the manager less and less with questions? Sales training should help salespeople with their  product knowledge, and it should give them the confidence and ability to stay engaged with the customer and keep them interested in the product or service.

    Did your sales team meet it’s bottom line? Did employee’s numbers increase?

    Were employees able to up-sell or cross-sell? Were they able to persuade clients or customers to buy more?

         These are just a couple methods that businesses can use to evaluate a sales training program. Sales trainers should also keep track of their success rate. Companies want to see a return on their investment, and the larger the return the more your own sales will progress.
