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

What do you like best about Factor 8?

I liked the zoom meeting conversations. I loved that the instructors teach in a way that allows the students to have input as well. Through engagement like these I think is the best tactic for students to walk away and not forget what they watched in the bar. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can't think of anything that was unlikeable in this course. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Describe the project or task Factor 8 helped with:

Call Coaching, Coaching Culture, Coaching System Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Factor 8?

I have been on the Factor 8 Call Coaching Bootcamp and enjoyed every single minute of the training. What I believe is most valuable is the great balance between e-learnings and hands on execution. Most of the training gets lost when not applied, but the energy Lauren delivers the training with and the active participation of each attendee trying the "COACHN" model instantaneously makes it very sticky. Perfect combination of in-class and practical approaches that help you overcome one of the worst rated sales manager skills - call coaching.

Would highly recommend this bootcamp to any sales manager with direct reports or directorslooking to coach their management team and install a "true" call coaching culture in their organizations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Factor 8?

Nothing, I really have to say every single part of the content was perfectly outlined and planned. Great fun to exercise with many like minded people Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Installing a Call Coaching System, structured way of coaching on teams now, how to rate your own sales team and plan coaching sessions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We needed experts to help us structure our training programs. Our training department was in need of a facelift and Factor8 provided that for us Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Expertise and domain experience, Lauren and her team has been there and done they understood our space and the game with a playbook already complete. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Factor 8?

I disliked the fact that we couldn't have them permanently be part of their team. That was pretty much all that we disliked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Meet with Lauren and the team - Pick a company that matches your culture Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Describe the project or task Factor 8 helped with:

Factor 8 helped our company completely revamp our outreach. They helped us change and improve our message to be more relevant to our target market and prospects and to get our sales team on the same page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Factor 8?

I love that we did both in-person and ongoing online training. The in-person training really helped to kickstart it all and having access to the material and follow up courses online has been very helpful in keeping everything relevant and staying on top of perfecting the skills we learned.

I also like how the training is focusing a lot on how to make our message relevant to the prospect instead of doing a "one pitch fits all" approach. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Factor 8?

The online platform can sometimes be a bit glitchy. For some of the questions on the quizzes, you get an error even if you fill out the correct answer which can be confusing at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Factor 8:

Make sure to use the sales bar! It's a great tool to keep the skills alive and improving after the initial training is over. It's a mix of videos, quizzes and information. There are also resources to print and post in you "revenue generation station" to reference when on a call which is super helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It's an engaging training platform that helps us all align our message across the sales team while also allowing us to make our personalities shine through when talking to prospects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Factor 8?

The Sales Bar has proven extremely effective in helping onboard reps faster and give them actionable tips and tricks to immediately implement in their daily activities to generate sales. The team of experts at The Sales Bar and Factor8 have been able to create the Sales Bar content that can stand alone or be a blend to their in-person training programs. The result is a self-paced or assignable training that is grouped and separated to be easily retained and proven to show results. Our reps also love the live events called Happy Hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Factor 8?

There is nothing to dislike. The team at the Sales Bar is quick to answer questions and troubleshoot if any issues arise within the platform itself. We are looking forward to the day that we can get The Sales Bar for our mobile devices! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Factor 8:

Sales organizations spend so much money investing in tools and their tech stack - invest in your people!! Using The Sales Bar has instant ROI and I can't wait to see where the Sales Bar & Factor8 team take the content next. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The Sales Bar and its training has helped us on-board our new hires, getting them on the phone confidently and ultimately converting opportunities faster. The content on The Sales Bar holds the reps attention, and gives them actionable tips to add to their sales arsenal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Factor 8?

The Sales Bar is very relevant content and categorized by role which is super helpful. Whether you are in leadership as a people manager or individual contributor there is a training track for you. The content is broken into small bites so you don't have to commit a lot of time all at once to go through. Additional reference documents are there as well to help reinforce and review. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Factor 8?

This is a tough one because I can't think of anything to dislike. The platform is super easy to use and response times on questions are fast. So I can't think of anything else. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Factor 8:

Definitely take it on as a trial to see if it works for your organization. The company and team are great people and I have worked with them on other solutions as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Giving our managers right now ongoing development. For so long me and my team didn't have anything formal for ongoing development as a new or even tenured manager. This was left to the managers to find on their own or hope their manager would help them. This allows us to give them that development that so many crave especially as new managers are brought on board. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
