Empowering Global Sales Teams Through Effective Webinars

A Global Sales Director partnered with Virtira to plan and implement a multinational webinar series aimed at educating a global sales force about an important new technology.

Client Challenge

The client faced several challenges that were hampering their sales efforts for a strategic new technology solution:

  • Missed Opportunities: Sales teams were not presenting the solution to customers, either due to lack of awareness or insufficient knowledge to discuss its benefits effectively.

  • Extended Sales Cycles: Product teams were frequently required to join customer calls to address knowledge gaps, leading to delays and inefficiencies.

  • Global Reach Requirements: The client needed a scalable solution to deliver consistent, comprehensive education across various countries and time zones.

  • Knowledge Retention: It was essential to reinforce the training so that sales teams could confidently present the solution to customers without relying on internal product teams.
