It has never been more important to show examples of sales skills at work. The process to evaluate these skills is sometimes perceived as straightforward and routine, simply a matter of tracking the sales gains after the program has been conducted. But credibly evaluating sales training programs is a bit more involved than that. Experts in the practice of ROI measurement, Jack and Patricia Phillips have collected a new book of ROI case studies, with a focus on sales training programs. The first half of the book is a step-by-step guide on calculating ROI, while the second half presents case studies that demonstrate how to use the ROI Methodology to properly measure the results of sales programs.
