Why a Sales Academy
To install a culture of continuous development and embrace a customer-centric mindset
Sales and HR leaders tend to get disappointed when they invest in sales training and don’t see enough impact on the business
We identified 5 main reasons:
- Overlooking the diversity of needs
- Lack of critical Selling content
- A mismatch in Sales DNA
- One-shot trainings
- Lack of measurement on training impact
The digital age requires an agile learning environment supporting continuous learning. Hence, the need to integrate spaced and mobile learning for continuous knowledge reinforcement and proficiency measurement
