“Any company that is growing their sales team could benefit from this course,” Kakuske says.  “Companies want to ensure they have good systems established so new sales team members have the tools they need to start generating revenue for the company.”

These insights may also spur new ideas at companies seeking to add or update their existing playbook. The course goes beyond discussion. Kakuske says, “We’ll workshop a couple of items as a group, so you get actual ‘hands on’ time creating documents as a group.”
