  • #803: Why Sales Training Doesn't Work
    Jul 22 2024

    In this episode, Bill and Bryan challenge conventional wisdom by arguing that traditional sales training is no longer effective in today's business landscape.

    Drawing from their decades of experience, they discuss why common sales methodologies fall short and why focusing solely on "getting to yes" is a flawed approach.

And offer fresh perspectives on what truly drives sales success in the modern era, suggesting it's time for a paradigm shift in how we approach sales development and training.
