Sales Organization Training
The Accountability Training® is a high-impact performance improvement solution for Sales Organizations. The Training produces leaders and teams that hit their numbers and achieve the results they are accountable to deliver. Successful wide-scale implementation in large sales organizations (numbering in the thousands in some of Fortune Magazine’s “Most Admired Companies in the World”) has consistently resulted in the improved performance of sales leadership teams and individuals at every level of the sales organization.
One successful sales organization executive describes his own company’s experience with Accountability Training:
“I had the opportunity to use the Partners In Leadership Accountability Training twice in my career. The first time was as a team member on a high performing team of sales reps in Central California. We consistently applied this for several years to all of our projects. Of the ten people on that team, nine of the reps were all promoted to district manager within that two-year period and our district manager began his climb from district sales manager to regional to cross-functional teams all the way to vice president of sales and marketing. Others on the team also went into regional leadership in sales or account management. You can find these people now in other companies as executive vice president’s and senior leaders. While I continued to use this for myself, the second time I applied the training was with my team as a district sales manager…Over the course of 6 months, our market share for our currently marketed drugs grew… It was a very good year for the region.”
