“In today’s super competitive sales environment, organizations need their sales teams to be consistently operating at their peak levels. Effective selling strategies must be honed and practiced regularly to stay ahead of the competition,” said Russ Howard, director, product marketing, Skillsoft. “Salespeople in particular are under constant pressure to deliver and are always looking for tools and information that will give them a competitive advantage. They also feel strapped for time, so they want knowledge they can apply on the job immediately. Skillsoft Sales Advantage is highly focused on topics that are relevant to the sales professional’s daily activities and can positively impact their sales performance, tying directly to business goals and revenue generation.”
Skillsoft Sales Advantage provides a variety of learning tracks to help busy professionals better understand the key competencies needed for development. The program can be easily customized to align learning tracks with an organization’s own sales models and practices. The On The Go area brings together all the learning assets within a particular track in one spot where learners can download content to use on mobile devices. Social collaboration features reinforce relevant content and drive learner engagement through interaction.
Skillsoft Sales Advantage is the fourth offering in the Skillsoft Advantage series, joining Leadership Advantage, Government Leadership Advantage and Professional Advantage. The series can be deployed via the Skillport® LMS, another LMS via the Sales Advantage portal or as a standalone component.
