Why Is Sales Training Measured On Knowledge Retention Not Outcomes?


Listen Later

Ben Eddy is co-founder and CEO of Mobile Practice. As head of sales enablement for a large technology manufacturer he realised that most of the money and effort on training was wasted. 70% of learning happens in the field AFTER training is over.

74% of managers believe they are coaching their salespeople whilst only 17% of their salespeople believe they are being coached.

The most effective learning occurs when a salesperson becomes aware of the impact their behaviour is going to have on their prospect, recognises how they need to modify their approach and then practices the new behaviour until it becomes habit. When they own the new behaviour and put it into context of their real life experience, they improve results. And isn't that really the reason why any business is investing in training their people? Not to get good scores on the smile sheets or track retention.
