1What this role really is

You'll be the person directly teaching our sales teams how to sell better, faster, and smarter. This isn't about sitting in a classroom all day; it's about getting into the trenches, understanding what makes a great sales call, and then showing others how to do it. You'll deliver the training, create the materials, and help new hires get up to speed quickly. Think of yourself as a player-coach, but mostly a player, getting hands-on with the actual training delivery and content creation. It's a busy role, but incredibly rewarding when you see a rep close a big deal because of something you taught them.

2What you'd actually use

The tools this job runs on, and how well you'd need to know each one.

Salesforce Sales Cloud / HubSpot Sales HubIntermediate

You'll navigate standard objects (Accounts, Opportunities, Leads), understand our sales process within the CRM, and use it to pull basic reports on rep activity or deal stages to inform training needs.

Seismic / Highspot (or similar LMS/Sales Enablement)Intermediate

You'll use this to upload training content, build simple learning paths for new hires, track completion rates, and pull basic reports on content usage. It's where all our training lives.

Gong / Chorus.ai (or similar Conversation Intelligence)Basic

You'll listen to sales calls, add comments, find specific examples of good (or bad) selling, and understand basic analytics to identify coaching opportunities. It's your window into what's actually happening on calls.

Articulate Rise / Camtasia (or similar E-Learning Authoring)Intermediate

You'll create basic e-learning courses in Rise, perform simple edits on existing Storyline templates, and record/edit simple screen-capture videos for product demos or how-to guides.

Microsoft Office Suite (PowerPoint, Word, Excel)Advanced

You'll use PowerPoint for creating engaging presentations, Word for drafting playbooks and job aids, and Excel for basic data tracking and analysis (e.g., tracking quiz scores).

3What you get to decide, and how that grows

Power in a job isn't your title. It's what you're allowed to decide. Here's how it grows as you move up.

The choice	Coming in	Where you are now	The step above
Training Content Changes	Suggest minor edits to existing content, but all changes require manager approval.	Propose and implement minor content updates (e.g., new examples, updated stats) within existing modules. Major structural changes or new module creation require manager review and approval.	Design and develop entirely new training modules or programmes. Recommend significant curriculum changes to leadership, with final approval from Director.
Training Delivery & Scheduling	Follow pre-set schedules and delivery instructions. Escalate any conflicts.	Independently schedule and deliver assigned training sessions. Adjust timings or formats for specific audiences with manager awareness. Manage your own calendar for training delivery.	Define and manage the overall training calendar for specific workstreams. Negotiate schedules with sales leadership, balancing training needs with selling time.
Tool & Resource Selection	Use approved tools (LMS, CRM, conversation intelligence) as instructed.	Explore and recommend new features within existing tools (e.g., a new Gong tracker). Suggest new small-scale tools (e.g., a specific survey tool) for manager consideration, but no purchasing authority.	Evaluate and recommend new sales enablement or training tools (up to £5K budget). Lead pilot programmes for new technologies. Influence platform selection decisions.
Feedback & Improvement Implementation	Collect feedback using provided forms. Summarise feedback for manager review.	Analyse feedback from your sessions and propose specific, actionable improvements to your training delivery and content. Implement approved changes independently.	Design comprehensive feedback loops and evaluation models (Kirkpatrick L3/L4). Use data to drive significant programme overhauls and strategic recommendations.

4How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, honestly: the hard targets, how often each one is actually looked at, and the quiet human signals that never make it onto a dashboard.

New Hire Ramp Time Reduction

How quickly new sales reps become fully productive (e.g., hitting 100% of quota or closing their first deal).

Target · Reduce average new hire 'time to first deal' by 10% within 6 months.

If new SDRs currently take 45 days to close their first deal, your goal is to get that down to 40.5 days. This is measured by tracking start dates against CRM 'deal won' dates.

Training Programme Completion & Certification Rate

The percentage of sales reps who complete assigned training modules and pass certification assessments.

Target · Achieve 90%+ completion rate for core onboarding modules and 85%+ pass rate on associated certifications.

For the Q2 Product Launch training, 92% of the AE team finished all modules, and 88% passed the final product knowledge quiz. We track this through our LMS (Seismic/Highspot).

Sales Call Quality Improvement

Observable improvements in sales call behaviour, such as adherence to discovery questions, objection handling, or value proposition delivery.

Target · Increase average call score (based on specific criteria) by 15% for reps completing a targeted coaching programme.

After your 'Discovery Call Mastery' training, Gong's AI showed a 20% increase in reps asking 3+ open-ended questions in the first 10 minutes of a call, moving the team's average call score from 7.0 to 8.4.

Content Adoption & Usage

How often sales reps actually use the training materials and sales tools you create (e.g., battlecards, email templates).

Target · Increase usage of new sales playbooks or battlecards by 25% within 3 months of launch.

Your new 'Competitor X Battlecard' was downloaded 150 times in its first month, and Gong data shows a 30% increase in reps mentioning key differentiators from that card on calls.

Manager Feedback & Coaching Impact

How effectively you're supporting sales managers in coaching their teams and reinforcing training.

Sales managers actively refer to your training content in their 1:1s
they report seeing tangible skill improvements in their reps
they proactively ask for your input on specific coaching challenges. You'll know you're doing well when managers start seeing you as a trusted partner, not just 'the trainer'.

Sales Rep Engagement & Satisfaction

How engaged reps are in your training and how much they value what you teach.

Reps actively participate in sessions, ask follow-up questions, and provide positive, specific feedback (beyond just 'it was good'). They'll tell you how they used a specific technique you taught to win a deal. You'll see them coming to you for advice even when it's not a formal training session.

Content Quality & Relevance

The practical usefulness and clarity of the training materials you create.

Reps tell you the job aids and playbooks you've made are easy to understand and directly applicable to their daily work. They'll share examples of how they used your content to overcome an objection or explain a complex product feature. Content isn't just 'ticked off'
it's genuinely used.

5Would you like it

The honest version. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy

Seeing Others Succeed

You'll get a real buzz when a rep tells you they closed a deal using a technique you taught them, or when a new hire hits their first quota. Your satisfaction comes from empowering others.

A new AE comes to you after a month and says, 'That objection handling framework you taught me? Just used it to save a deal!'

Solving Practical Problems

You'll love diving into a sales challenge (e.g., 'our reps can't articulate our unique value') and designing a training solution that genuinely fixes it. You're a fixer, for people's skills.

Working with a sales manager to identify why their team is struggling with discovery calls, then building a targeted workshop that actually improves their questioning technique.

Continuous Learning & Improvement

You're always looking for new sales techniques, better ways to train, or fresh content ideas. You'll enjoy experimenting with different approaches and refining your craft.

Experimenting with a new role-play format or trying out a micro-learning module to see if it improves retention more than a traditional session.

What frustrates people

The 'Knowing-Doing Gap': Reps understand the concept but don't apply it on calls.
Getting sales managers to actually coach and reinforce training.
The 'urgent' request for training on a new product that launches next week.
Messy CRM data making it hard to prove the impact of your training.
Dealing with the veteran rep who thinks they 'know it all' and resists new approaches.

What this role does not give you

A quiet, predictable routine with minimal interruptions.
A role where you only create content and never deliver it.
A path to direct sales management (though it can lead there eventually).
A 'set it and forget it' approach to training—it's constant iteration.

6Who you work with

This role directly affects our sales team's ability to hit revenue targets. If our reps aren't properly trained on our products, our sales methodology, or how to handle objections, deals will stall. You'll be a key part of reducing 'time to ramp' for new hires, which means they start bringing in revenue quicker. Essentially, you're building the skills that drive our top line, ensuring every rep knows how to articulate our value and close business.

Inside the business

Sales Managers (your primary 'clients')
New Sales Hires (your main audience)
Sales Operations (for data and process alignment)
Product Marketing (for new product training content)
Marketing (for messaging consistency)

Outside the business

Training Content Vendors (occasionally for specific modules)
Sales Methodology Consultants (if we're rolling out a new framework)

7What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

At least 2-3 years of experience in a sales role (e.g., SDR, AE) OR 2-3 years in a dedicated sales training/enablement support role.
Demonstrable experience delivering engaging presentations or training sessions to adult learners.
A track record of creating clear and effective written communication, such as job aids, emails, or reports.
Proficiency with CRM systems (Salesforce or HubSpot) and sales enablement platforms (Seismic or Highspot).
A genuine passion for helping others learn and improve their sales skills.

8What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

Advanced Conversation Intelligence Analysis

Simply listening to calls isn't enough anymore. You'll need to go deeper into Gong or Chorus, building custom trackers, identifying trends across hundreds of calls, and using that data to pinpoint precise skill gaps. This will allow you to move from anecdotal coaching to data-driven training interventions.

Custom Tracker Creation · Trend Identification · Correlation to Outcomes · Reporting & Visualisation

This week: Explore all the pre-built trackers and reports in Gong/Chorus. Play around with the filters.
This month: Work with a sales manager to identify a specific call behaviour they want to improve, then try to build a custom tracker for it.
Month 2: Run a report on a specific call behaviour (e.g., 'talk time ratio') and present your findings and a training recommendation to your manager.
Month 3: Take an online course or watch tutorials on advanced features of your conversation intelligence platform.

Quick win: Identify one common objection your reps face, and use Gong to find 5 examples of reps handling it well and 5 examples of them struggling. Use these for your next training session.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up

Attend industry conferences or webinars focused on sales enablement, sales training, or instructional design.
Join professional communities or online forums for sales trainers to share best practices and learn from peers.
Regularly 'ride along' on sales calls (or listen to Gong recordings) to stay current with rep challenges and market trends.
Take online courses on advanced features of our core sales tech stack (CRM, LMS, conversation intelligence tools).
Read books and articles on sales psychology, coaching, and adult learning theory.

10How the AI economy is changing work like this

Before we ask anything of you, here's what we can already say about AI and work of this kind:

The new skill this role is being asked for: AI Prompt Engineering for Content Creation

AI tools are getting incredibly good at drafting content. Competitors are already using tools like ChatGPT to draft sales emails, battlecard summaries, and even basic training scripts in minutes. If you can use these tools effectively, you'll produce higher quality content much faster, freeing you up for more impactful work.

We'll only ever tell you what we can actually back up. No hype, no scare tactics.

The ten Future Fluencies

Zavmo analysis

The credential is what you can do today. These are what keep you valuable.

A qualification proves you can do the job as it's defined today. These ten are what decide whether you're still the obvious person for it in five years. They're the capabilities employers are now writing into senior roles faster than people are learning them. Zavmo weaves them through whatever you study, so you come out with both: the credential and the fluency.

The highlighted ones are the Fluencies your role leans on hardest, from how Sales Trainer is actually changing. In about two minutes, the free confidence check asks where you stand on each of the ten. That's the whole check, and it's what makes the plan yours rather than generic.

12The team that's yours

No two people are taught the same way. This is one-to-one, not one-to-many.

Zavmo is a hyper-personalised AI learning platform. Twelve virtual tutors, each with a different way of teaching, and one orchestration agent that picks the right one for the moment. So every single lesson is shaped around you, your role, and the way you learn. Not a course everyone sits through. A conversation built for you, and no one else.

…and nine more, matched to you after your first chat. Meet all twelve

13What it feels like

A conversation, not a course

Because your tutor knows your role, your projects and your last session, learning sounds like this. And it's different for every single person:

How far you got last time It picks up mid-thought. The tutor knows what you said, what you struggled with, and what it asked you to try.
Which tutor suits the moment Twelve of them, each for a different kind of thinking. The one who walks you through a first idea is not the one who stress-tests it.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, you've got a lot on your plate. Delivering training, creating content, coaching reps—it's a never-ending list. But what if you could get a serious helping hand? AI isn't here to replace you; it's here to make you incredibly more efficient and impactful. Think of it as your super-smart assistant, handling the tedious stuff so you can focus on what you do best: making our sales team brilliant.

In Sales Training, AI isn't just a buzzword; it's a practical tool that can transform how you prepare, deliver, and follow up on your programmes. From automating mundane tasks to giving you deeper insights into call performance, these tools can seriously boost your productivity and the effectiveness of your training. You'll be able to create better content faster, give more personalised feedback, and spend less time on admin.

Automated Role-Play Scenarios

Use an AI text generator (like GPT-4) trained on our company's call transcripts and playbooks to create an infinite variety of realistic role-play scenarios. No more spending hours crafting unique situations; just ask the AI for a new challenge for your reps to practice objection handling or discovery questions. It's brilliant for keeping training fresh and relevant.

Scaled Call Analysis & Insight

Your conversation intelligence tool (Gong or Chorus) already uses AI. You'll use it to automatically analyse 100% of sales calls, not just a few. This means identifying the talk tracks that correlate with wins, spotting common points where deals stall, and turning anecdotal coaching into data-driven training programmes. It's like having an army of analysts listening to every call for you.

Instant Competitive Battlecard Creation

Got a new competitor? Feed an AI tool public information (press releases, G2 reviews, website copy) and ask it to generate a first-draft 'battlecard.' It'll summarise their strengths, weaknesses, and potential customer objections in minutes. You'll then refine it, saving you hours of initial research and drafting time.

Personalised Coaching Feedback Generator

After reviewing a rep's call in Gong, use an AI assistant to draft a structured, personalised coaching email. It can summarise key strengths, pinpoint areas for improvement, and even suggest links to specific micro-learning modules for reinforcement. This saves you a load of time writing out detailed feedback and makes your coaching more consistent.

The honest bit

You’ve started things before

Most of them were built for a room full of people who aren’t you. A cohort moves on whether or not your week allowed it, and by the third week the thing you’re behind on becomes the reason you stop opening it.

There’s no cohort here, and no timetable to fall behind. Before anything starts, Zavmo asks when you’re sharpest and how long you can realistically sit down for, then builds the sessions around those answers. A bad fortnight changes your pace. It doesn’t put you behind.

And you only pay once you start learning. Searching and planning are free, and you can cancel any time — so the cost of finding out is an afternoon, not a year.

What it costs

Less than one coaching session. Every month.

A single career-coaching hour costs more than a month of this, and it ends when the hour does. Zavmo doesn't. It's £70 a month, about £2.30 a day, for a companion that knows a Sales Trainer, works on the job you actually do, and keeps going at your pace rather than a timetable's.

Searching and planning stay free. You only pay when you start learning.
Your credits are yours. Regulated, and they don't vanish when a subscription ends.
Cancel any time and billing stops. No notice period, no minimum term.

Your path, personalised

You have the map. Walking it is the part we do together.

This route runs to 14 national skill standards. That is a real journey.

Zavmo shapes a learning experience as unique as you are. It fits how you learn, your pace and the work you already do. Every step stays benchmarked to recognised national standards. That’s the plan for becoming a Sales Trainer: personal to you, and it still counts. The first steps are free.

Independent research finds well-designed intelligent tutoring performs nearly as well as one-to-one human tutoring: VanLehn (2011), Educational Psychologist.

A private tutor in the UK averages £35–40 an hour . Zavmo is £70/month.

15Where to go from here

Other roles at Level 3

Same depth of qualification, different job. Useful if the work appeals but this particular role does not.

Other roles in Sales

Stay in the field you know and move sideways rather than up.

If you leave this industry

The skills you'll build here—instructional design, sales methodologies, coaching, content creation, and performance analysis—are highly transferable. You could move into broader learning and development roles, product marketing enablement, or even back into a senior sales leadership position where your training expertise would be invaluable. The principles of effective learning and behaviour change apply across many functions.

Not sure this is the right direction?

Work out what you actually want from work first, then come back and see which roles fit it. Takes about ten minutes.

You're not behind. You're right on time. The shift is only just beginning. Your role won't look the same in two years. Be the one who leads the change, not the one it happens to. Build my plan, free Here's the first ten minutes: a 2-minute confidence check → your personalised roadmap → meet the tutors matched to you. No card, cancel any time. No card. Build your plan, see your roadmap and meet the twelve tutors matched to you. All free. When you're ready to start learning, it's £70 a month, billed monthly. Cancel any time and billing stops.
