Onboarding takes enthusiastic new hires and rapidly engages and connects them to the life of the organization. That engagement leads to employee commitment, and their commitment leads to accomplishment.

Onboarding – every company does it, but a shockingly few do it really well. In fact, The Sales Management Association found that after sales onboarding is complete, 1/3 of reps still lack proficiency in up to a dozen key selling skills. That’s a LOT of training that goes in one ear and out the other. At best, this leads to slow ramp times for new reps that take far too long to start closing deals. At worst? Your turnover rates skyrocket, forcing you to start all over with a new batch of hires. So the question is – how do you break the cycle and onboard salespeople in a way that actually works?
