Is Your Company Value Statement Killing Morale?
I agree with the commentary on training in many ways. A simple training provides nothing more than information and ideas. Behaviorally training does nothing to improve performance. Coaching does. However, I would take it one step further that even a coach can't fix what the team gets from ownership on a regular basis. To fix or improve sales performance requires an organizational behavioral shift.

A New Year, A New Decade: Turn Your Possibilities into Reality
Hello,

It can be quite mind-boggling how companies can spend many thousands of dollars undertaking training and then forget about the consistency of their training messages.

We make training videos which improves consistency of messages, but it still requires management at all levels to be one the same page. This is where refresher training is needed and getting all staff on board with the company vision, values and goals.

Informative article.

Cheers,

Marie-Claire Ross ...

Consistency in Sales Training Relates Directly to Consistency in Production
