Kelly draws an interesting analogy between ineffective sales training and leadership training. Just as many leadership training programs fail to boost employee engagement, sales training initiatives frequently don't improve sales rep performance. Kelly argues that in both cases, the objectives are unclear and the training is too abstract and conceptual. He advocates for more contextual, experiential training focused on driving behavioral change. Kelly lays out four specific things organizations can do, from hiring learners to effective coaching. If you want to understand why sales training fails and how to make it more impactful, don't miss this episode.
