Industry research shows that effective sales coaching can dramatically improve the performance of a sales team - in some cases driving up revenues by 20% or more.   The reason for such potential improvements is the significant "multiplier effect" sales organizations can achieve through sales coaching: one trained manager can coach multiple sales professionals and improve their overall performance. With such potential benefits it is no wonder that many sales organizations recommend that their frontline sales managers spend 25% - 45% of their time sales coaching. The High Impact Sales Coaching Guide provides expert advice on essential sales coaching skills to help sales managers effectively empower their teams to reach their highest potential.

Most training professionals would agree that administering a pre-test, post-test and post-program reaction sheet will not yield complete Levels 1 and 2 evaluation data. However, this insufficient method is employed quite often. Consider the usefulness of the data and information you currently gather at Levels 1 and 2. It is likely that you collect much more data than you actually use to make program improvements. Attend this informative session to update your knowledge of the New World Kirkpatrick Model and all of the Levels 1 and 2 components to ensure you are not missing out on collecting and using vital data.

Scrap learning benchmarks will also be shared. Additionally, the link between scrap and performance improvement will be discussed.
