How technology led training can create competitive advantage, webinar

LONDON - April 30, 2014 - PRLog -- A leading sales training expert within IT and telecoms, Simon Busby along with Commelius, will look into the connection between the adoption of learning technologies innovations and improved sales performance (http://www.commelius.com/technology-led-sales-training-webinar/default.htm).

The live online event will touch on the research from Miller Heiman, the sales performance company, and a report from CSO Insights* which shows a clear link between investment in training and improvement in sales performance. According to the study, 73% of sales reps meet their target in companies where sales training is a part of the overall business strategy.

“What we learn from this report, and from our observations when dealing with clients such as American Express, is that training plays a vital part in creating a competitive advantage in a fast paced and constantly evolving world of product selling ”, says Vicky Jones, Managing Director at Commelius.

Simon Busby adds, “Technology led learning has a significant role to play in enabling sales team to increase performance and stay ahead of the competition. It’s especially visible in those companies where products change quickly and there’s a very limited time to train sales people on them. We’ll look at it during the webinar and I think this is something that every sales manager and director might want to consider when planning their next sales strategy.”

The webinar will take place on Tuesday 13^th May at 4pm (GMT, British Time) and those interested in attending, can sign up to the event here (http://www.commelius.com/technology-led-sales-training-we...).
