Even though the relevance of field sales groups is not in question, many field sales group leaders face growing pressure to reduce sales force investments and to ‘produce more with less’. Internal activity and efficiency measures are useful to assess the performance of field sales groups, but organizations also need to supplement internal measures with industry and cross-industry efficiency benchmarks to fully understand performance. Best Practices, LLC's Cross-Industry Field Sales Force Effectiveness report provides key sales force training benchmarks that enable sales leaders to assess the effectiveness of their sales training programs.
