The Sales Training Community at TrainingIndustry.com announces the “2009 Top 10 - Sales Force Automation Training Companies”. This list recognizes the leading sales training and consulting companies that provide training on sales force automation tools (SFA). 

The criteria used for selection utilizes our proprietary Training Supplier Capability Model and includes factors such as:

• Strategic Impact from Programs
• Revenue Generated from Training
• Strength of Clients
• Talent of Corporate Management & Staff
• Industry Visibility and Recognition 
• Geographic Reach for Training Delivery
• Breadth and Depth of Training Portfolio
• Multi-application capabilities 

Sales Force Automation (or CRM) will become the most important tool set to help sales teams work efficiently and effectively in identifying and nurturing leads, up selling, cross selling and to closing deals in 2009. Yet, a recent industry survey indicates that over 50% of all CRM or SFA implementation initiatives do not achieve “acceptable” results. We believe that training on these sales tools is a significant driver of the success of any CRM initiative.This year's Top 10 companies have demonstrated their ability to deliver innovative training solutions and to create sustainable value for their clients.

Congratulations to Brett and Mary Ann for their hard work.
