Why sales coaching matters
- Without systematic, on-the-job coaching post a sales training program 87% of skills that were covered in the sales training program are lost within 30 days
- With systematic, on-the-job coaching post a sales training program the return on the sales training program is four fold.
Lesson: Sales training without coaching is a cost liability rather than an investment.
