As a Learning Designer at Salesforce, I contributed to and led innovative projects that significantly enhanced our sales team's effectiveness and efficiency. Key initiatives included:- Certification Design: Developed a comprehensive certification program to assess when sales leaders were fully onboarded and ready to transition to mastery, ensuring a robust and consistent competency framework globally.- Account Executive Onboarding: Contributed to a dynamic hybrid onboarding experience that blended in-person and virtual training, drastically reducing ramp time and accelerating productivity.- Annual Kick-Off Programming: Contributed to strategic initiatives for our annual sales kick-off, delivering high-impact training that aligned with our organizational goals and drove performance.Outcomes of my work included a notable reduction in ramp time for new hires, ensuring uniform competency standards across global teams, and delivering relevant enablement at unprecedented speeds.
