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.
