Although most organizations achieve their sales revenue targets, why does individual sales performance continue to struggle, with almost half of sellers still not meeting quota goals and less than half of deals forecasted actually closing. Consistency and predictability remain a challenge.

Modern sales readiness offers a potential answer, this according to my interview with Gop, helping your team evolve from traditional boot camps and in-person traditional training to leveraging a platform for continuous, ongoing learning of "on message" and "on task" capabilities needed for every individual seller to succeed.

In this session, we discuss the current sales performance challenges, ways sales readiness can help bridge the gap, and how MindTickle leverages their Readiness Value Assessment Tool to better communicate and quantify the value of readiness to frugal prospects.
