Sales onboarding: A challenge to quickly assimilate the team's sales methods

How does an interactive challenge speed up and simplify sales onboarding?

The interactive sales challenge method uses a dynamic and engaging approach to teach sales fundamentals to new team members. It takes advantage of gamification to transform learning into a dynamic and stimulating experience. 

Through a competitive format, challenge participants are invited to put their knowledge into practice in real-life situations.

The effectiveness of this method lies in its ability to actively involve learners, reinforcing their understanding and retention of the sales techniques you use with your prospects every day. What is more, this method encourages new recruits to interact with their colleagues, fostering integration and the development of team cohesion right from the start. 

By confronting participants with realistic scenarios and asking them to solve concrete problems, they can quickly acquire a practical understanding of sales methods such as AIDA, BATNA, DISC, and SPIN, tailored to the specific needs of their role and industry.

This approach not only arouses the curiosity of new employees but also keeps them engaged and motivated to learn, increasing the chances of a rapid and effective rise in competence.

Why use this Adventure for your sales onboarding?

Klaxoon's Sales Methods Challenge Adventure is the ideal solution to facilitate your sales onboarding, as it presents all the benefits of an interactive challenge in the form of an immersive gamified course.

With this Adventure template, you focus on three fundamental aspects of your onboarding experience:

• Progress tracking: Klaxoon's analytical features enable you to track participants' interactions with the Adventure and their progress in real time. In this way, you can quickly identify what each new employee has learned and where he or she needs to improve, enabling you to adjust the rest of the training to make it more effective.
