How would you rate the trainer or facilitator who led your most recent sales training?

How confident are you that you'll reach full quota productivity by your ramp target date?

In the last 30 days, what has gotten in the way of applying what you learned in training during live deals? Select all that apply.

• Not enough time to prepare before calls
• Manager coaching didn't reinforce it
• Customer situations didn't match training scenarios
• Forgot the specific technique in the moment
• Tools or scripts weren't easy to reference live
• Felt the technique wouldn't work for my accounts

Ask the rep to walk through the most recent live deal where they tried to apply a skill from training: what they did, how the customer actually responded versus how the training said they would, and what they'd change next time. If they flagged a technique as not applicable to their accounts, push for a concrete example of why it broke down. If their ramp confidence was low, probe whether the gap is skill, content, or coaching-related.
