Sales Performance Management for Better Customer Outcomes

Organizations depend on highly motivated sales teams to generate revenue and stay ahead of the competition. As the all-important link between an organization’s products and services and the customer, the sales team is a principal driver of bottom-line growth for the success of the whole organization. For organization leaders, incentivizing and correctly compensating these employees requires a firm grasp of sales performance management based on proven strategies and solutions aligned with organizational goals. In a climate of economic uncertainty, they are looking to trusted advisors to demystify sales performance and ensure business outcomes.

Six Drivers of the Future of Corporate Learning 

Though cavepeople wouldn’t recognise much of what goes on in the world today, they would understand our need to learn at work and improve our skills. Without constantly honing their abilities to hunt and gather in collaborative teams, they would have starved, and we wouldn’t be here. Until recently, much of the training and development offered by corporations would have perplexed early Homo sapiens, with a focus on teaching specific skills for static roles rather than the more human-centered skills that have held us together for eons.
