But you have to watch out, because individual improvements in sales numbers, may not indicate successful training, but successful sabotage of co-workers.
Just something to think about. Part of sales training should be about the skills required to increase individual sales, but another component should address how each person could and should be contributing to the success of the entire sales force.
