Maximizing sales rep performance is no easy task. 📈 Traditional sales training methods focus heavily on the first few weeks in the sales role. Companies dedicate time, resources, and budget to onboarding new hires, only for them to forget what was learned in those first few weeks, lose motivation, and struggle to come to grips with their role.

Earlier this summer, Hurricane Hillary became the first tropical storm to make landfall in Southern California.

What business problem is your customer solving? Hopefully, it’s the problem you are the best in the world at solving. If it isn’t, you are wasting your and the customer time.

For those who have worked with me, you know the importance I hold Competency Models. These are critical, both for recruiting, but also onboarding and ongoing development. Without these, we don’t know whether we are recruiting and hiring the right people, or developing them to achieve their full potential. What is a Competency Model?
