Solving the 80/20 Rule in Sales with AI Driven Solutions

In sales, the 80/20 rule often means 20 percent of salespeople drive 80 percent of revenue, frustrating management and limiting growth. Despite heavy investment in training, the results fall short. Harvard Business Review notes that U.S. companies spend over $70 billion annually on training, with an average of $1,459 per salesperson—almost 20 percent more than other workers. Yet, participants forget more than 80 percent of the information within 90 days. So, how can companies effectively support the 80 percent?

 

Understanding the Challenge

  • Ineffective Training Methods: Traditional programs often lack engagement and practical applicability, leading to poor retention.
  • One-Size-Fits-All Approach: Standardized training doesn't address individual needs and strengths.
  • Lack of Continuous Support: Training is often a one-time event, resulting in rapid knowledge decay.
