Chris Hutson
“Social Selling and leveraging social media to prospect and grow the funnel is something we’ve been trying to conceptualize at Sprint for some time. Even though great ideas and minds worked at this, we really never had thought leaders to implement a program because this isn’t our core competency. The telecom industry in the United States is uber competitive and we needed a great partner to teach us the mastery of social selling skills to give our B2B reps a competitive advantage. We found that leader in Sales for Life.”

Chris Brydon
“I was looking for a way to get my salesforce from “zero to sixty” though Social Selling. Like most organizations my team was all over the board, with little time, money or expertise to develop a social program. Working with the team from Sales for Life we were able to achieve a significant lift in our social selling index, skills and most important our funnel. Sales for Life got us there in 10 weeks flat, leaving us with a sustainable social program accelerating our time to revenue.”

Target Audience
Sales for Life was engaged by senior leaders in the Sprint Business Team to socially enable their West Region. Under the guidance of Chris Brydon, VP of Enterprise Sales West, the program was initiated in May 2016.
A total of 100 sales professionals, sales leaders and sales engineers were trained with Sales for Life’s flagship certification program Social Selling Mastery®. The program’s mission is to teach B2B customer-facing resources how to find, educate and engage buyers throughout their buying journey.
How Was Success Measured?
Program success was evaluated through Sales for Life’s measurement framework, grounded on the Kirkpatrick Evaluation Model, as the industry best-practice.
While much of social selling enablement is focused strictly on training, Sales for Life’s model is built around knowledge transfer and application. This is ultimately tied to sales results and ROI. It was through this approach that Sprint was able to correlate actual sales results through application of learning.
