Welcome to part 2 of our "Free Sales and Marketing Tools" series. Today I want to go over a great sales training site with thousands of great articles written by the training industry's top experts.
Education is an important part of continuing to be successful at sales. Even top reps, and the best managers have room for improvement.
Salesresources.com is a great website with articles written for sales, marketing, cold calling, management, etc. There's a relevant list of articles for every professional, no matter your title or rank.
If your a manager articles from this site can be excellent coaching opportunities. If you know a rep is struggling with a fear of cold calling, send them the link to a relevant article on the site and have them email you not only 2 things they learned, but also an example of how they used that information in real life.
If your a rep and your manager or company doesn't have the time or resources for training, this is an excellent way to improve your skills with no cost to your company. Like in the coaching example, try to not only "learn" but make sure you incorporate what you learn into your daily routine.
The information is free and helpful, so take advantage.
