Today being good is not good enough. Your sales force must not only be able to sell a competitive advantage; they must be a competitive advantage. To achieve this goal the Sales Momentum offerings represent a new generation of sales training programs built for today’s hyper-competitive marketplace. They are based on the best practices that have emerged from our thirty plus years of work with the organizations that are getting it right.

Sales Momentum looks forward to working with you in building your world-class sales force. In electing to participate in a Sales Momentum engagement, you will have taken the first step towards building a partnership, not just made the down payment on another sales training project.

The case for sales training

In today’s competitive marketplace everyone is looking for a competitive advantage that will sustain over time. However, a number of converging factors, like global competition and improved manufacturing technologies, are making it increasingly difficult to maintain a sustainable competitive advantage by product alone.

Today your sales force must not only be good enough to sell your company’s competitive advantage – they must be good enough to be your company’s competitive advantage. That shift requires a sales force with a different level of skill – it means world-class has become the new standard.

This is a fundamental idea to consider when crafting an effective sales training curriculum. The trap is putting in place an effort that is only good enough to meet yesterday’s standards.
