About 48% of salespeople learn by trial and error to a high degree as per the ASTD Research, which may be somewhat due to the fact that sales teams are most of the time scattered geographically & their training often becomes a very time-consuming affair.

Here is my recap of the Washington ASTD ICE 2014 conference. The key to this trend is that research shows that change is initiated by senior management, but carried out by middle management. Another trend driven by scientific research. This was my second ICE conference (did Dallas last year), it was huge and it was interesting.

I was asked during my recent ASTD Webcast whether there’s data to show that managers, who are more involved in training and learning, ultimately receive more rewards and recognition than those who aren''t. This is the what’s-in-it-for-me question that managers ask themselves when they are asked to do something in addition to their usual job.
