1 Lack of budget

Small businesses often face a challenge when it comes to sales training: not having enough of a budget. While investing in external consultants, trainers, tools, materials, and platforms can be costly, this doesn't mean you have to sacrifice the quality or effectiveness of your sales training. To reduce expenses, you can leverage online resources such as courses, webinars, podcasts, and blogs that provide free or affordable content. Additionally, you can create your own sales training curriculum based on your business goals and customer needs. Alternatively, you could encourage peer-to-peer learning among your sales team members so they can share best practices and insights with each other. Lastly, you could seek partnerships, sponsorships, or grants from organizations such as industry associations or government agencies to fund or subsidize your sales training.

Lacking a big enough budget for proper hiring and training. This in turn limits the SBO as to the quality of the candidates interviewed as well as ensuring the crucial quality of the training. Poor training is a factor of poor performance!

2 Lack of time

Small businesses often face the challenge of having limited time for sales training. It can be difficult to balance the time spent on sales training with other business activities, such as marketing or customer service. However, there are strategies that can help optimize the time spent on sales training. Prioritizing the most important skills and topics, breaking down sessions into bite-sized modules, scheduling training at regular intervals, and automating or outsourcing tasks are all effective ways to manage your time. By taking advantage of these strategies, you can ensure that your sales training is successful without having to sacrifice other important business activities.

Prioritization of crucial skills, training and knowledge base IS an absolute must for the SBO to ensure success for the new hires and ultimately the success of the company as a whole. Everyone in business depends on the sales skills of the sales team. Without sales skills, all is lost!

"La falta de tiempo" es una barrera cuando se piensa que la mejora en cualquier actividad puede suceder automáticamente y sabemos que no es así. Es como pensar que un jockey no se tomaría el tiempo para ensillar su caballo para correr una carrera. Una sana recomendación es hacer que las acciones de aprendizaje sean cortas y dinámicas, con simulaciones de ventas para practicar y grupos colaborativos para que los participantes puedan, compartir avances, buenas prácticas y dificultades. Otro aspecto muy importante va a ser el acompa?amiento de un coach para que los avances sean sostenidos y se alcance u optimice la habilidad.

3 Lack of expertise

A third common sales training challenge for small businesses is the lack of expertise. Sales training can be complex, as it may involve prospecting, qualifying, presenting, negotiating, closing, and following up. Adapting to different customers, markets, or situations can further complicate things. However, you don’t have to be an expert in everything or hire one. You can enhance your expertise in sales training by learning from other successful small businesses in your industry or region, seeking feedback from customers and prospects, joining or creating a network of other small business owners or sales professionals, and hiring or collaborating with a sales training specialist or coach. These steps can help you design, deliver, and evaluate your sales training while giving you valuable insights into customer needs and preferences.

4 Lack of motivation

Small businesses may face a challenge of lack of motivation when it comes to sales training. It's understandable why sales team members may feel bored, stressed, or indifferent towards the activity. However, this doesn't mean that you should force or coerce your team to participate. Instead, there are ways to increase motivation for sales training such as making it relevant and practical, engaging and interactive, rewarding and supportive, and collaborative and diverse. For example, you can use different formats like games and quizzes, offer incentives like rewards or badges, and involve your sales team in the planning or delivery of the training.

Sales training challenges will always occur in business. However, an untrained salesperson can still make a sale if they ask for it. Rather than getting hung up on the challenges, build the habit of asking for the sale instead.
