Whether in sports or in business, success is achieved during the training period. In Christopher J. Bucholtz’s recent article, 5 Ways to Guarantee Sales Will Hate Your CRM, he writes:
“In reality, even the best-designed and most intuitive CRM applications contain a lot of power that can be accessed only with specialized knowledge of the system. In all cases, sales people confronted with a CRM application they’ve never used recoil at the idea of spending an hour or two noodling around with unfamiliar software when they could be busy selling.
“This is why training is so important: It not only helps sales people become more adept at using CRM, but also allows them to feed valuable data to the rest of the business from the first moments they use it.
“Training allows sales people to experience the new solution before using it with real data. It boosts their confidence in their ability to use CRM, and it allows them to capture customer data from the first moments they use the live application. It gives them fewer chances to decide the CRM application is too tough to use and helps eliminate opportunities for them to ignore it.”
This is also why PlanPlus Online offers a wide variety of CRM training!
