Fully embracing and supporting the whole product life cycle of our vendor partners, sales and business transformation training is close to our heart as it is the first pillar of our three-step education framework – How to Sell – Why to Buy – How to Operate.

IT companies, system integrators and IT consulting firms are facing major challenges caused by a fundamental change of customer behavior due to a rapid convergence of business and technology:
- IT is no longer only supporting the infrastructure but is deploying and supporting the strategic platform for any organization’s development. Infrastructure and applications must be aligned with corporate strategy in order to contribute significant value.
- More and more IT budgets are allocated outside the IT department due to business requirements. Beyond plain technical features, the functionality and value of complex IT solutions must be “translated“ into business terms.
- As investments in IT are growing, managers ask for financial returns, value creation and other measures of success. IT investments must be linked with strategic and operative goals.
In cooperation with our partner Triangility, Fast Lane is offering a comprehensive sales force transformation program designed to support account teams mastering this convergence. While the sales skills related courses should be taken in their recommended order, the element Understand & Believe includes various technological modules that can be consumed at any time or independent of the entire program. These technology oriented modules cover some of Cisco’s key architectures and current technological trends/drivers and are helping to translate technology into business value. For more information please contact us.
