We could all use a fresh set of eyes now and then, someone who can share fresh sales training tips to help us drive more sales. I am so excited to dive into the details of effectively enabling your company’s salespeople to actually sell, on this episode of #SellingWithSocial. My guest is Juliana Stancampiano – the CEO of Oxygen, a company that specializes in helping other businesses perform at maximum capacity.

We’ve all been at a point in our company when we realize that operations aren’t running full speed – there are too many tools, too many systems, poor sales rep retention, and not enough revenue to back the ever-changing matrix of effective sales. Juliana gives us practical and insightful sales training tips to help us tame the tech stack monster and pay more attention to enabling the people who drive the revenue, our salespeople. Be sure you listen!

The Content We Use For Sales Training Is Important. But Only If It Is Specific

Why are we making our salespeople work harder than they need to? Onboarding is the period where we immerse our salespeople in the things they need to know in order to accomplish their jobs and become an integral part of driving sales. We often think we need to cram all of the information about every scenario, systems, and tool into our sales training. In reality, as Juliana points out, “Too much information makes for less time in the field.” This means that the more concise and clear we can make our onboarding processes, the better.

To start, define onboarding for your company. What do your people need to know to complete their job? What is vital for them to digest and learn? Overloading them with information that they may not know how to sort or prioritize only adds to the chaos. With nine months as the average ramp-up time for a new sales team member, it is important to give them only the most necessary tools to enable them to effectively sell – and meet your sales quotas.

 

Hundreds of Tools = Thousands of Dollars: Here’s How To Choose Wisely

How many sales tools does your company use? For my small company we use seven tools just for sales, you can actually see Vengreso solutions partners on our website! The problem with having hundreds of tools in our tech stacks is that each of those tools costs thousands of dollars per sales rep, per year. But are actually helpful?

“Simple is better,” Juliana says. While redundancy is bound to happen, it’s important to understand exactly what your salespeople must do in order to accommodate customers and drive revenue. Ask yourself these questions…

  • Do your tools work well together?
  • Can they operate and function underneath one centralized system?
  • Can they integrate into your CRM?

Juliana gives the run-down on the many ways you can tell if the tools in your tech stack need to be chucked out or put to greater use – so be sure to listen to the full episode!
