Based on observation and feedback from working with hundreds of executives and sales training participants within client organizations, Marketing Nous (marketingnous.com), an Australian-based sales training provider for technical and professional teams, identified five main causes of ineffective sales training:
1. Management is not committed to change
2. The training is not relevant for the team
3. The staff is not committed to improvement
4. There is no sales process or methodology
5. There are vague position descriptions for sales roles
