I’ve been a long-time member of the Association for Talent Development, a past ATD annual conference speaker, and a frequent contributor to the group’s publications. Recently I was pleased to join ATD in a new venue—an ATD Sales Enablement Channel podcast.
On the episode, Jenna Cronin, Community of Practice Manager for Sales Enablement at ATD, and I delved into the importance of shaping the sales career path and building a strong, productive sales culture.
You can listen to the recording and learn:
- Why is it so important to define a career paths in sales?
- Who should care the most about sales career development?
- What are some of the inflection points (or changes a company goes through) that should cause leadership to address career paths?
- What are the critical skills that would need to be built to address these inflection points?
- What are some of the characteristics that can make career pathing successful?
- What is one thing you can tackle right away that will have a positive effect on the development of your salespeople?
