Sales Learning Solutions: Identifying Needs And Capabilities

Jan 01, 2018

Summary

For B2B sales professionals, finding time for learning is a struggle despite an acknowledged need for long-term development. In a quest to balance learning needs and maximize selling time, sales enablement often depends on technology to impart knowledge and develop skills. To select the right learning platform, sales enablement must identify the core capabilities needed to effectively create, deliver, and manage learning content and tools.
