The major component of building an effective sales team is the training and mentoring used in the successful development of a highly motivated sales team. Creating the right combination of each program will provide a guide and path for each member of the team to reach his or her goals and allows the sales department to succeed in meeting or surpassing the team and organizational goals. Several steps must occur to reach this goal. First we must identify and define the training and mentoring needs of the sales department. Next the performance standard is developed for each position and the development of the method as to how the training is presented to the sales staff. With a diverse sales team it is important to choose a delivery that will be appropriate for all members. The final step will be the development and deployment of an effective evaluation and feedback system that monitors the progress of each team member. During the entire process there will be opportunities that will surface that will identify areas of improvement.
