“Finding and hiring talented Sales Development and Business Development Representatives is hard enough. Once they are on board, the real work begins — developing the critical selling skills necessary to ensure their success. Product knowledge is not enough. Sales Development requires advanced skills to navigate organizations and gatekeepers, effectively engage with insight, identify pain–points, and ultimately, develop interest in change. It is a tall order requiring advanced skills which we have been developing for years.”

WHAT WE DO
Critical Sales Skills that SDRs Need
Possessing knowledge about the product or service you’re selling is important. But a sales development representative is going to spend about 70 to 85 percent of their time navigating organizations and gatekeepers, researching prospects, asking questions, and listening. Sales development is a discipline that rarely comes naturally, and the skills it requires must be put to work before product knowledge is demonstrated. Being able to reach a prospect, knowing how to properly engage with insights and identify pain points are the critical skills to master. Without these skills, the SDR’s knowledge of the product is useless.

HOW WE DO IT
Structured Learning Fosters Sales Skills Mastery for SDRs
Selling is a skill. Like other skills, sports, or activities sales can be learned and mastered. Effective selling skills is essential for sales success. With proper training and coaching, sellers can be equipped to be more effective in engaging prospects, identifying need, and developing qualified leads. Success requires the proper mix of people, proven methodologies, and technology.
A successful SDR skills development program requires a structured curriculum, testing, and ongoing coaching with skills reinforcement. Growth Orbit’s SDR Skills Development Program establishes a repeatable and scalable process to ensure your team gains the sales skills needed for success.
Why your Selling Skills Development Program Matters
Sales Training Improves Sales Rep Performance
Contrary to popular opinion, the sales profession requires significant skills, and success is only achieved when these skills are continuously honed and developed. Studies have found that salespeople who receive frequent training and coaching outperform those that don’t. Despite this, most salespeople receive no formal sales training or coaching and are left to figure it out for themselves.
Even if they can attend sales training, most salespeople do not realize its full benefits because there is no post training follow-up to ensure adoption and mastery of key skills, behaviors, and performance standards. Without structured post-training coaching, most sales skills covered in the training program will be lost within 30 days.
