Training to Prevent Turnover of Sales Representatives
Imagine that your current training is weak and inconsistent, which resulted in high turnover of sales representatives. Using the information from below about my company, think about how would you mold your ideal salesperson with training and develop an effective training plan for new hires and current representatives. Some items that we may consider are:
- How would you set up training?
- Would it be classroom or Web-based?
- How long, and how consistent would the training be?
My training plan may should include, but may not limited to:
- Procedures, processes, and protocol.
- New hire training.
- Mentoring.
- Resource manuals.
- Product training (for example, provide a description of what it would consist of)
