It's also a kind of chicken-and-
is offered is either based on tried-and-true training used by lots of
other sales organizations or it IS the actual training used by other
sales organizations.
As has already been pointed out, much of the training that is
available through an A/QMO is available elsewhere, usually at a much
lower cost. You can go to a local book store and find loads of books
with sales training and confidence building techniques. The only
thing that is missing from these materials is the rah-rah motivation.
With the motivation in place, you might find the material you read
from the books easier to implement.
That would be a good thing to derive from the A/Q business. But would
it be worth several thousands of dollars a year to get it? I don't
think so. I think money is a better, and more profitable, alternative
motivator.
I don't know anyone who needs a motivational seminar when his/her
sales activities result in a decent paycheck and a decent lifestyle.
You only need that rah-rah stuff when the money that should be there
isn't.
