Fast Track Your Sales Onboarding

In today's fast-paced sales environment, effective onboarding is crucial for ensuring new hires quickly become productive and successful members of your team. Traditional onboarding methods often fall short, leaving new sales representatives unprepared for the challenges of real-world interactions. 

Enter FullyRamped, a training platform that uses AI role-play bots to transform sales training and onboarding. By integrating FullyRamped into your sales onboarding plan, you can significantly accelerate the learning process, improve rep’s call confidence, and ultimately, drive revenue growth.

The Shortcomings of Traditional Sales Onboarding

Traditional sales onboarding programs often rely on methods like:

• Extensive product documentation: these materials can be overwhelming and fail to provide hands-on experience.

• Call shadowing: a passive way to learn that does not allow for practice.

• Cold call role-play with managers: these sessions are limited by the availability of managers and often lack the diversity of real-world sales scenarios

These methods often result in new reps who are unconfident with their phone skills, ill-equipped to handle objections, and prone to making mistakes on live calls, potentially burning valuable leads. 

This is where FullyRamped’s AI role-play bots offer a significant advantage, providing a safe and effective environment for reps to hone their skills before interacting with real prospects.

Integrating FullyRamped into Your Sales Onboarding Plan

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to integrate FullyRamped's AI role-play bots into your sales onboarding plan:

Pre-Onboarding Preparation

Before your new sales hires start, set up FullyRamped with your company's ICP, including specific personas and common objections that your reps encounter. This involves defining your ideal customer profile and the typical questions, objections, and priorities they have.

Skill Development with the AI Role-play Bots

Have reps start with basic practice scenarios to build confidence in their phone skills, objection handling, and ability to deliver your value proposition. Start with standard scenarios and gradually introduce more challenging situations as they gain competence. Focus on:

• Basic phone skills: Mastering introductions, handling gatekeepers, and navigating dial trees

• Objection handling: Learning how to address common objections like "I don't have time," "Send me an email," or "We are already using a competitor."

• Value proposition: Articulating the benefits of your product or service to different types of prospects.

Personalized Practice

As reps progress, have them work on practice scenarios that align with specific customer profiles or situations they will encounter in their roles. Encourage reps to use the AI role-play bots to practice for specific calls, new products, and new talk-tracks.

Feedback and Coaching

Incorporate regular feedback sessions where managers review calls and provide coaching based on the data generated by FullyRamped's AI platform. Use the platform’s insights to highlight areas of improvement and track progress.

Continuous Improvement

Encourage reps to use Practice Prospects as an ongoing training tool, not just during onboarding. The platform helps them stay sharp and prepared for each call block. Role-play is beneficial for learning new products, refining existing techniques, and preparing for new buyer personas.
