Linked – Creative ways to get your sales team to sell your customer training

It’s not my livelihood anymore, but so much of this post rang true. The struggle to get sales on the same page with customer training is real, especially when the customer sees it as a “new” line item late in the process instead of from the get go.

“Many software companies treat training as an afterthought, only selling enough of it to get customers up and running. They’re missing out on the competitive advantage that training gives them. Instead of using it as an add-on, why not use it to stand out from the crowd?”

I recommend taking a look at this all you folks out there working for software companies. 😉

  • Bad Managers Cause Poor Mental Health

    Think about it, someone in management who has never learned how to communicate will have a team unaware of what is happening. Leaders who follow the examples of those above them, who’ve created a misogynistic culture, will continue with the same practices. When things don’t go smoothly, managers getting berated from above will berate the people below them. And on and on it goes. 

    If we want a healthier, open, and inclusive workplace, we need to train the people in charge of setting the tone and the culture. All the lunchtime yoga and meditation in the world can’t overcome that shortcoming.
