I realized something while speaking at a recent meet-up for the Silicon Valley American Association of Inside Sales Professionals. The majority of companies are approaching training wrong.

Wrong.
There is a hell of a lot more to it than that. And here are 3 mistakes companies are making that are resulting in training being a waste of energy, a waste of time and a waste of money.
