Hello!

To maximize the value you receive from the upcoming sales training, we are asking you to complete a brief survey. It should take 15 minutes or less, as most of the questions are multiple choice.

Please note that your answers to the survey questions will be completely anonymous (meaning we will not know who provided the answers). While the survey does ask you to identify your division, none of your answers will be tracked back to you as an individual. Therefore, please have confidence that you can be completely honest and straightforward when answering the survey questions. The more straightforward you are in telling us how you feel, the better we can tailor the training and the feedback we provide to various parts of the organization to support your sales success.

Thank you very much for your time and support. Please begin the survey now by clicking on the Continue button below.
