Sales Onboarding
Definition
Sales onboarding is the structured process of ramping new sales hires to full productivity, covering product knowledge, sales process, tools, messaging, and market understanding. Effective onboarding combines theoretical training with practical exposure to real sales conversations, dramatically reducing the time from hire to first closed deal.
Why Call Libraries Are the Most Effective Onboarding Tool
Traditional onboarding takes 3-6 months and relies heavily on classroom training, role plays, and ride-alongs. The problem is that theoretical knowledge does not translate to conversation skill without extensive practice. Conversation intelligence transforms onboarding by providing new hires with curated libraries of real calls — top-performing discovery conversations, successful objection handling, and winning closes. New reps learn from hundreds of real examples rather than a handful of ride-alongs. Agencies that implement conversation-based onboarding consistently report 40-60% faster ramp times because new hires hear what "good" sounds like in real context.
