Catalyst⁵ – Recruiter / Trainer

Challenge your sales leaders to recruit effectively and build a dedicated learning environment with their teams.

Today, more than ever, good hiring decisions can make or break a sales force – or an entire company. Competition is fierce and often, your competitors’ products and services are comparable to yours. So, what makes the difference as to what company a customer selects as their provider? Research shows that the skills and competence of the people who work for your company are often the deciding factor for your customers.

Additionally, research shows that the best sales managers think of themselves as the “CLO” or Chief Learning Officer for their teams.  They do not leave the education and improvement of their teams to the discretion of the HR or training function or your team. They are involved and engaged in creating and driving a learning and continuous improvement culture for their teams

These two roles – of RECRUITER and TRAINER are developed in depth in this 3rd segment of Catalyst5 – Developing the Complete Sales Leader.
