Laying the Groundwork for Your Enterprise Sales Strategy

As businesses continue to shape strategies to increase revenue, the market for sales technologies will continue to grow. While many sales leaders have adopted sales enablement tools or a unified, streamlined sales engagement platform to digitize their sales process, until now they’ve had to rely on a traditional learning management system (LMS) or their own approach to manually onboard, train, and manage their sales teams.

Enterprise Sales

Sales leaders realize that successful selling starts with their people—and that means having a well-prepared sales representative who is up to date on product knowledge and client needs before they go into a sales call. This year, Aragon Research is seeing the rise of a new category, sales coaching and learning, that aims to make learning a continuous part of a sales person’s routine.

With a sales coaching and learning platform, managers will be able to launch a consistent and repeatable sales coaching and training program. Sales coaching and learning platforms offer on-boarding, skill building, and regular knowledge reinforcement via role plays and skill reinforcement sessions (flash drills). This will allow managers to train their new sales reps to perform as well as skilled salespeople in no time, and will be critical in helping them to address performance issues.

Aragon recommends using a sales engagement platform to engage with customers and a sales coaching and learning platform to empower sales teams.

This Special Report will help chief revenue officers and sales leaders determine how to pick the best sales engagement platforms for their team, how to best train and coach their reps, and what technologies are emerging and being adopted in the market that can help them accomplish this.
