Sales training will only be as successful as the amount of energy put into it before, during and after the training.
Before: Management and sales professionals must be prepared to take the training seriously. They must look upon this as a true opportunity to make a difference in the functioning of their sales team. That said, good preparation beforehand is essential to successful sales training.
During: Training participants must give their undivided attention to those leading the seminar and to any interactions or role plays. It is important that they also take detailed notes and ask any questions that come to mind. This ensures clear takeaways, which can immediately be implemented back at work.
After: Once the training is over, sales professionals must begin putting into practice right away the principles they have learned. They should review their written materials every day for a week for at least 30 minutes, and they must also review in small groups at least three times the first week and once a week thereafter. Without intensive regular review, the sales people will forget everything they learned at the training.
Management must also take an active and vital role in this training. If the sales professionals sense that management is serious about the importance of this training, they will be much more likely to take it seriously themselves. Should they sense any inkling that management is lackadaisical toward the training, the effort and money spent will have been in vain.
