    When it comes to onboarding, time is money. The sooner you can get a new rep ramped up, the faster they can start driving revenue for the company. Ramp-time is typically calculated by your average sales cycle + 90 days for training and onboarding. That means if you have a 90-day sales cycle, it can take a new rep six months before they’re fully ramped up and ready to go. At Spekit, we knew that with the right combination of onboarding, coaching and training reinforcement, we could cut that time by 50%. In this webinar, you’ll learn exactly how we use Spekit to:Introduce SDRs to new tools, processes and methodologiesAutomate the onboarding process with in-app guidanceEmpower reps by reinforcing the right training, at the right timeReduce onboarding time by 50% by surfacing answers in real-time
