How does Product Marketing introduce new product and services into our sales training meeting and make it engaging, impactful and interactive?

“I very much appreciated all of your help with the meeting. I learned so much from working with you and see so much opportunity for us to elevate our training to a much higher level than just merely feeding them with info...

I hope we can work more with you in the future.”

How do we engage the sales meeting with 125 attendees and train them on discovery skills, while emphasizing specific product scenarios?

GPS worked with the Vice President and Regional Managers to design a competitive case analysis that paired 5 sets of teams against each other.  The five top teams, then presented to the full meeting using the executives in a client role within the cases.  “Client executives” determined the top team for the award.

GPS blended content training on Probing and Discovery skills, with facilitated case scenarios and a unique Discovery Skills fun team building event. GPS also provided an overview of the content training and additional skills for the role of the Sales Managers as Coaches during the session.
