How He Gets His Reps on The Sales Floor 2x Faster Than You | Ep. 323 | Kyle Asay
Forget endless product certifications. Kyle Asay shows you how to get reps talking to buyers (and generating pipeline) in two weeks — so you can crush quota with a team that stands on its own.
🎙 ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:
Know your territory: Teach reps to tier accounts simply (A, B, C) so they focus only on the right targets first.
Know your personas: Use real personas (e.g., actual engineers or CFOs) to train reps directly, not just persona cards.
Know your stories: Equip reps with customer stories that match problem, size, and industry — start with problem first if you can’t get all three.
One thing to do: Update your win announcements (Slack, email, etc.) to include how the win happened (language used, objections handled, insights), not just celebrate it.
