Sales training is important to a high-performing team, and there have never been as many options as there are today. Online training, in-person workshops, blended learning, off-the-shelf, customized, training with consulting, consulting with training.
Your solution is great. You know the narrative of the type of buyers who buy. You’re writing appropriate content and getting it out to the right demographic.

“I like the sound of your solution, but I’ve already spent a lot of money with this vendor, so we’re going to keep trying to make it work.”
“You seem to have built an impressive solution, but we really put a lot into our in-house solution, and even though it’s not working right now, we like it, so we’re going to keep building on it.”
