New Rep Onboarding: 4-Week Methodology Plan
On-demand reference for the sales-methodology skill.
Week 1: Framework introduction + language
- Teach the methodology concepts (2-hour session max)
- Give them a one-page reference card, not a 40-page playbook
- Have them score 5 historical deals using the framework
Week 2: Guided practice
- Role-play discovery calls using the framework
- Listen to 3-5 recorded calls and identify methodology elements
- Debrief each exercise: what was strong, what was missed
Week 3: Shadowing
- Shadow 3+ live calls with experienced reps
- After each call, identify: what SPICED elements were uncovered?
- Begin scoring real deals in CRM
Week 4: Live with coaching
- Run own discovery calls with manager listening
- Debrief after every call for the first 2 weeks
- Start participating in deal reviews
Ongoing:
- Weekly deal reviews with methodology scoring
- Monthly calibration: are reps scoring consistently?
- Quarterly refresh: any methodology adjustments needed?
