Sales Enablement ROI Calculator

Sales onboarding is hard. Whether you’re training a new rep, or bringing an experienced salesperson in from the outside, how quickly you get team members up to speed and equip them with vital skills has a direct impact on revenue - and faster is always better.

But how much can you really gain by ramping reps faster? What’s a 1% decrease in ramp time worth to you, and do those gains make onboarding an effective investment?

To help, we built a Sales Onboarding ROI calculator. It will allow you to forecast how much return on ramp (RoR) you can expect from your LevelJump investment.

The Cost of Inefficiency: How Sluggish Sales Onboarding Is a Drag on Revenue

Sales onboarding struggles can eat away at an organization’s productivity and profitability for two different reasons:

The longer it takes for a sales rep to become productive, the longer it takes for them to pay for themselves.
Sales turnover is high and tenure is short - which means you have less time to recoup your losses.

The Bridge Group found that 41% of reps will be at productivity for less than 24 months. What’s more, a full 30% of your sellers are likely to churn this every year.

Combined with the fact that half of all companies take 5+ months to ramp up a new rep, bringing that down is a top priority for high-performing teams. Otherwise, each new sales hire, paradoxically, ends up costing instead of making you money.

Plus, there’s an opportunity cost with your customers that comes with turnover and delayed productivity. Deals and delays don’t mix; opportunities that aren’t being pursued by your sales reps now likely won’t be there when they finally reach productivity.

By calculating how long it takes to ramp up a new sales rep, how much quota each rep carries, the size of your team, and other variables, you can see how much money an inefficient onboarding process is costing you and how much you stand to gain by speeding up onboarding (even just a little bit).

Accelerating an onboarding process can’t happen, though, until that process is fundamentally sound.

Sales onboarding needs to have:

sliders

A formalized program

checklist

A method for assessing if your reps are ready

Timer

Validation reps complete sales activities on time

Gauge

Metrics proving its impact on time to productivity

Automating some (or all) of the above push the ROI envelope even further and increase skill acquisition and preparedness without putting more of a burden on your sales enablement team.
