LearnCoreDirector of Client Strategy & Training
May. 2013 - Dec. 2015Greater Chicago AreaEven with all the recent advances in sales technology, companies are still flying in sales teams to sit through forgettable presentations. This type of training is outdated at best. The sales training equivalent of calling prospects using a rotary phone. If it’s going to have an impact, sales enablement needs to start when your sales team is first introduced to the strategies and tools that will make them successful. At LearnCore, we believe that real learning begins with doing. LearnCore includes standard training tools like coursework and testing, but with the addition of Pitch IQ, our virtual role-playing tool, sales training becomes a collaborative, engaging experience. Collectively, our solution enables companies to onboard new reps faster, ensure consistent communication across global teams, quickly roll out new certification programs and products, and decrease training cost.
