Right People: Strategically Develop
Your Most Precious Resource – The Sales Force
Held September 21, 2012
Let’s face the realities of today’s talent environment. People who hung in for the fight during the recession are more loyal than ever, and unhinging them from their current positions is quite a challenge.

Sales organizations must consistently develop their people to perform at their best and highest levels. Creating bench strength is also crucial, for achieving growth goals and for eliminating the variability caused when key talent opts out due to boredom, lack of advancement opportunities, or the lure of a better role elsewhere. So get your sales talent on the train that develops them with strategic intent – before they board another one headed for greener pastures.
Join us for this complimentary webinar if you are questioning any of the following:
- If I can’t afford to hire my way to success, what are some good alternatives to build the talent I have?
- How can we create deeper levels of engagement to avert unwanted turnover?
- What should a career path progression look like for the specific roles within my organization?
- How do I progressively build skills from a new hire through the first 3-5 years of their career?
We help you start with the end in mind.
Our systems approach addresses your sales organizations as a whole, creating a clear line of sight between where you are now and the specific strategic processes, people, and capabilities needed to get you where you want to be.
