Training Outcomes For Your Team

According to Mike Clayville, AWS is not trying to sell parts and pieces or technology. Instead, the goal of the OBAM approach is to help customers get their business outcomes. Clayville goes on to say, "Our job is to sit down and help. We really talk about it as the four E's: explore, engage, empathize and enable. Those four E's are ingrained in the behaviors of our teams that are really supporting this notion of problem solving, identifying business outcomes, creating a path for those business outcomes to be achieved and then helping the customer achieve those business outcomes."

"The team’s feedback was outstanding, but most importantly they put these new skills to use immediately and, I have no doubt, led to sales that otherwise may have gone the other way. We continue to work with the Baker Communications Team and I am happy to give them a strong recommendation for any organization looking to improve the ability of their sales team to understand client drivers and win more deals.”

“Engaging, personalized and 100% on are three ways I would describe this training. The preparation that’s put into these engagements is evident and leads to the success of the team and the training. One notices that the facilitator spent hours understanding the audience, what motivates them, and who they are as people. It was clear the time spent upfront creates a personalized touch to each training venue."
