Sales Training

Effective sales training is a journey not an event! For lasting behavioral change to take place, training should be on-going and skills should be reinforced and rewarded. We have also learned over the years that the degree of success in a sales training program is directly related to the degree to which it is customized for the industry, company culture and specific sales and growth strategies of the organization. (For more about how to choose sales training that fits your needs, click here)

You Need Sales Training When:

  • Your sales team resists making cold calls
  • Your sales team is having difficulty managing large accounts
  • Your sales team loses business when the sales cycle is long
  • Your turn over rate among new sales people is high
  • Year to year sales per sales person is flat or declining
  • Your sales team spends more time complaining about difficult customers than finding, selling, and serving those customers
  • Your sales team is living off existing customers and your new customer acquisition is low
  • Your sales team has stopped making product improvement suggestions
  • Your sales meetings are "report" meetings with no energy or enthusiasm

Catalytic Management's education methodology involves three phases:

Employee / Team Skills Assessment
Prior to training we believe it is critical to meet with potential students and managers to assess their needs, concerns and challenges. This up front work forms the basis for the content customization and serves another very important function: it builds trust between the students and the instructor which leads to a more successful training experience.
Content Customization
While certain sales skills are transferable to any industry or sales approach, only training that is customized to the customer's industry and goals will be truly effective. Catalytic Management customizes content, exercises, and sales approaches to meet the client's needs.
Continuous Focus
One time training interventions, regardless of the quality, will not deliver lasting results. Just as training alone is not likely to be the answer to declining revenue or minimal growth, training must be followed with continued focus on practicing and mastering the skills presented. To insure continued focus, Catalytic Management delivers an 8 week email coaching program after sales training. This program reinforces the skills presented in training, introduces new sales tips and encourages students to implement what they have learned. This unique value added program is free and is included with all sales training delivered by Catalytic Management.
