From a brand-new product launch, to podcast interviews, and a shoutout in Forbes, here’s what the Corporate Visions team was doing in the month of April.
New Product Launch: Mastering Remote Selling Training Program
Remote selling is now required if you hope to hit your quota. But many sales reps have realized that selling on-screen brings some unexpected challenges:
- Your presence is reduced to a tiny image in the corner of a web conference.
- You’re competing for attention with a highly distracting screen environment.
- Your sales deck becomes the focus—it’s no longer the backdrop for an in-person conversation.
- Best case, research shows that your audience will only remember 10% of what you show them after 48 hours.
How can you overcome these challenges and deliver a sales presentation that engages your audience, helps them remember your message, and persuades them to buy?
With Corporate Visions’ Mastering Remote Selling training program, you’ll learn to use science-backed techniques to grab and hold your buyers’ attention, make sure they remember your most important message, and persuade them to take decisive action after the call.

Why Even Small Decisions Are Difficult Right Now

But according to Dr. Simon, experience is vital in effective decision-making, because the past helps you predict the future.
