Book Description

December 1995
This manual offers a soup-to-nuts breakdown of the various steps an organization's trainers or managers must take to develop sales training that gives their salespeople a critical advantage versus the competition. Who should read this book? Anyone involved in creating sales training, anyone interested in supporting the readiness of their organization's sales force, or anyone who asks themselves the following questions:

Is your company introducing a new product or service whose ultimate success depends on the ability of the salespeople to present it effectively to customers?

Are you always certain how to target various audience groups (i.e. salespeople, sales managers, customer service reps, etc) with the right type of sales training?

Are you sure you know how to benchmark the best sales training practices, or measure the results of your sales training?

Do you occasionally wonder about how you're going to meet new challenges raised by increased competition, rapidly changing markets, or the accelerated pace of technology?

This book is specifically designed to:
Help you define the components of a successful sales training curriculum.

5.0 out of 5 stars Review of Just one Part, July 14, 2010
This review is from: the performance, measurement, management, and appraisal sourcebook (Paperback)
I read just one part of this book. The book explains details about how manager should act as coaches. This view is very useful for connecting management as a coaching.

1.0 out of 5 stars Good for the short attention span, July 24, 2007

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: the performance, measurement, management, and appraisal sourcebook (Paperback)
I used this book in a graduate-level seminar, and was completely disappointed in it. The articles are brief and offer little practical advice or straightforward descriptions of performance management systems. The empirical support is not presented; in general, you get the feeling of reading one case study after another.
