Imparta’s research reveals that the best salespeople are situationally agile. They assess the customer’s buying situation, choose the right play and execute — while balancing insight, influence and trust. But sales training also needs to be agile, responding quickly and effectively to new challenges at the strategic, tactical and even individual levels.

During this talk, Richard Barkey, Imparta’s founder and CEO, and Dr. Michelle Vazzana, chief information officer, will unpack the research and offer practical advice to build situational and organizational agility across your sales team.

This research-based session will provide practical insights that you can use tomorrow to:

  • Assess and strengthen your team’s ability to sell in an agile, three-dimensional way.
  • Ensure that your sales training is embedded into an agile change process.
  • Go beyond courses to leverage the five main use cases of sales training.
  • Align your sales tech stack (yes, including AI!) with organizational agility.
