Featured Case Study on CPSA′s Sales Training

Shawn Trinier, CSP, Vice President, Sales and Marketing at Sanimax hired one of CPSA′s Licensed Distributors, Michelle Cain, CSP, of Cain Sales Solutions to provide his company a total package training solution. Their Professional Development program was composed of the following: pre-assessing the sales team, providing sales training and coaching, all of which leads to obtaining the Certified Sales Professional designation. Here are Shawn′s comments:

Overall Experience


"I will first start by saying Michelle and her team are excellent trainers. I received nothing but positive comments from my staff on every interaction Michelle had with my team.

Michelle is very good at getting a quick understanding of your current situation (gaps and weakness) without making your team feel like they are being inspected. She is also good at tailoring a program that suits your needs and helps manage the gaps."


Pre-Training Assessment


"We needed a simple program to take traditional sales people to a more consultative approach to selling. My team needed to find a better way other than just relationship building. We needed organic growth and the team needed to learn how to ask for more.

Michelle did her assessment of my team. She observed inside sales, traveled on routes with outside sales. Reviewed documents and tools and completed her analysis of the sales team in general and all the potential gaps."


Delivery


"Part of the sales strategy was development of sales process that would be built off the training and embedded in the reps′ everyday life. This would create daily habits learned from the training that become 'the day in the life of a rep'. Learning is one thing, doing is something else.

Michelle′s feedback on the sales team and gaps was very useful in designing the program. We used our own metric to measure success.

Between the assessment, training, post assessment and certification it took approximately 6 months. However, we delayed the certification for 2 months because of internal issues. There is no reason the program should take more than 4 months."


Sanimax′s Return-on-Investment


"Today we are seeing the benefits of CPSA′s training through increased sales and the reaction of the reps when they realized that asking probing questions will help you find opportunities.

Each rep now understands account management, business reviews, funnel management, time invested and the value of asking probing questions. It has changed the way they sell. The key is to embed process into the training.

The feedback from the team was outstanding on all fronts. Michelle and her team do the training and they are among the best I have worked with and I would hire Michelle again. As a matter of fact, she is scheduled for more training with us for March 2010.

Michelle invests a great deal of time with her clients to make sure they are satisfied with their investment. She not only follows up with me, but also with my reps to ensure they are moving forward. She also makes herself available to answer questions from any rep regarding customer challenges. Cain Sales Solutions and Canadian Professional Sales Association remain invested in your success."
