Factor 8 Overview

What is Factor 8?

Factor 8 is an award-winning sales rep and manager training company focused 100% on helping sales teams sell in a virtual world. We’re not a big six consultancy, we’re not a national curriculum house, we’re not selling books. What we are is a team of expert sales leaders who quit the daily grind so we could spend our time developing people – our favorite part of the job. Together we’ve solved the big problem: Sales Reps AND Managers are not gaining the skills they need to quickly feel confident and successful long-term. That means they ramp slowly and leave quickly. We’ve made the calls, done the demos, managed the teams, and forecasted the deals. We get you. We have a better way to ensure teams hit higher revenue goals faster. It’s all we do, and we love it. You’ll love the payoff.

Provider Description

The Sales bar is an excellent solution for onboarding reps on fast-growing teams, grabbing fast spikes in sales results, and building benches of Sales Managers. It’s for leaders scaling the team, transitioning reps between roles, or facing a growth target that headcount alone can’t solve.

What do you like best about Factor 8?

The trainings are short and useful and also engaging. So often I have managers that say they don't have time. With these 30 minute trainings - there is no excuse! They are also tactical and not just motivational. They provide actual tips and tricks you can put into use in your role every day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Factor 8?

I don't know if anything specifically I "dislike." Maybe one piece of feedback I would have is that I wish their was more training like this for those outside of sales but still customer facing roles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Factor 8:

Overall, great training but it's geared specifically towards sales teams. So if you have customer facing teams that aren't selling, you'll likely need to find another partner or have multiple training partners. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Factor 8 solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have started to take advantage of the Factor 8 Sales Shots that are short and simple monthly trainings for sales professionals, account execs or managers. This has provided a short and simple way for employees to continue their development in their role. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Factor 8?

Both times, in the live training, we only got to half of the lessons that we had taken as pre-class work. (Although the activities we did on the part that we did cover was effective0 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Factor 8:

I would highly recommend the MasterClass, but it will be most effective if you do the pre-course work and relate the information to your own situation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Factor 8 solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am new to Outbounding, and needed guidance on how to do it most effectively. I felt like the activities provided helped me to work through the training and develop my own talk tracks that were pertinent to my business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
