Show Notes

Who doesn't remember that first day? Being thrown out there with little training and no experience? Andy and his guests, Eric Shaver, Managing Partner at Kensei Partners. Richard Brasser, Managing Director of Carlton Richards and Chairman of CR Intelligent Labs, and Mor Assouline, founder of FDTC, SaaS Sales Consulting and Training, reminisce on this occasion and discuss how to improve on it.  They discuss the pitfalls of traditional B2B sales training and propose a transformative approach centered on business and financial acumen. They emphasize the importance of understanding customer value and suggest that training in business skills, rather than sales techniques, and how focusing on end-to-end customer value can enhance sales effectiveness and revolutionize the industry.
