“Factor 8 is proud to be the first sales training company included on Selling Power’s ‘Top 25 Sales Training Companies’ list that built their foundation 100% on virtual sales,” said Ted Martin, CRO at Factor 8. “Historically, companies emphasized the value of field sales over their digital or inside sales counterparts. Due to the changes caused by COVID-19, organizations began to realize the value of virtual sales. This is a win for all of us who have built our careers in inside sales and believed in virtual sales from the beginning!”
According to Selling Power’s publisher and founder, Gerhard Gschwandtner, sales training is more important than ever as salespeople adjust to selling during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Sales training has shifted dramatically in the last 14 months” says Gschwandtner. “Each of the sales training companies included on this list was able to pivot quickly to deliver best-in-class, engaging sales training virtually. Their efforts and expertise helped their clients to reach and exceed sales goals during a difficult economy.”
All companies on the list submitted a comprehensive application that included a detailed listing of their offerings for both training and retention, innovative solutions, their company’s unique contributions to the sales training marketplace, and their response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
