?I was amazed at the capabilities of Salesforce?and that was 8 years ago. Every year, just when I think salesforce has done it all, something else comes out, and I see the raw possibilities of a new application. Our president Mark goes on and on about leveraging salesforce as a tool to help salespeople maximize their application of the sales training into revenue generating actions in the field, and sure, it does a wonderful job of that, but I just see so many more ways it can help organizations become and stay successful.?

Mark recognized, through years of attending sales courses, that all too often, while much of the content was valuable and/or interesting, precious little time and effort was spent on helping the sales people transfer the newly learned behaviors into the field. It was with the intent to change the way sales training is delivered and integrated into the client?s day-to-day processes that he developed the vision for Salesforce Training.

To that end, Mark sees the enormous possibilities of leveraging salesforce.com, not only as a sales force automation tool, but also for its application to maximize and support learning transfer. Mark brings a wide body of knowledge in the field of Transfer of Training methodologies, having conducted an intensive array of research on the subject while completing his MBA. Mark also holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Statistics and a Bachelor of Commerce (Hons) degree in Actuarial Mathematics.

?I recall taking numerous sales training courses and then going back to my job without any support from my manager to help me to apply the newly learned techniques. I knew that there had to be a better way to train sales people so that they would actually do the things that were taught in the classroom.?
