In the medical world this equation holds:

prescription without diagnosis = malpractice

Same in our business. The question “who is the best sales trainer?” is like calling a realtor and asking “how much does a house cost?”

The person who poses this question is very, very naive.

The good news is, if you are truly worth your weight in gold as a sales trainer, there’s plenty of business to go around. There are so many niches that top sales trainers can stay busy helping their clients succeed with no shortage of opportunities.

HI Dave,

This is a great post. I’m often asked to help sales trainers understand the “lay of the land” inside their company. I have to tell you that most of the sales training decision makers I talk with have some understanding of these questions — but they need to work more closely with their VPs of Sales to make sure they are co-creating something that really solves the problem (not just putting a band-aid on it!).

Then on the other hand, I have talked to many vendors who believe that because they sold for 20 years they don’t need to have an in-depth understanding of these questions or issues that organizations face — or they assume they already know the answers (but never bothered to ask!).

So true,

when will people finally accept that there are no silver bullets to produce the miracles they are hoping for?
