Sales Training Needs Analysis

Identify the type of sales training your team actually needs before investing time and money.

A diagram illustrating a practical sales improvement cycle to support our free sales training needs analysis assessment.

Sales training needs analysis (TNA) describes a process for identifying training needs.

Sales training works best when it addresses the real issue. Many organisations invest in training before they have identified whether the main problem is sales conversations, opportunity control, management, consistency, or broader commercial effectiveness. 

This sales training needs analysis assessment helps you identify the main gaps and decide what sort of training or support is most likely to improve results.

How to Complete the Assessment

Score each statement from 1 to 5 based on what usually happens in practice.

  • 1 = Rarely true
  • 2 = Sometimes true
  • 3 = Partly true
  • 4 = Mostly true
  • 5 = Consistently true

Be realistic. The purpose is to identify what should be improved first.
