How to Choose Your Trainer

  • Know your team’s needs – Don’t get sold on the bells and whistles. Diagnose the problems within your team.
  • Find a focus area – Different sales trainers have different specialities. Look for one whose experience lines up with your goals.
  • Determine a time frame – Will you want a day-long seminar, or a complete overhaul of the sales process which may take months. Choose a program that suits your desired level of detail and duration.
  • Design a follow up plan – Training content is easy to forget.  Ask the sales trainer what you can do after the training to avoid this.
  • Look at their clients – Check out past clients of the sales trainer to see if they work with businesses within your industry with similar target customers.
  • Think about location – A lot of sales training involves e-learning. If you want someone in house, you need to seek a local sales trainer.
  • Agree with the philosophy – A sales trainer will have a core philosophy, and if you don’t agree with it, it’s not a good fit. Look at the trainers values and beliefs to make sure they line up with yours.
  • Get the managers on board – Without the managers, your team won’t take the training on board. Make sure the sales trainers are offering a management programme to follow up with afterwards.
  • Get an assessment – Some sales trainers offer assessments so they can diagnose your teams issues and measure their progress against set goals.
  • Get samples – Requesting a sample of some training is a great way to compare different sales trainers.
