Stephanie’s challenge:

 

In the past, ramping new hires into their training roles took as long as 90 days.

 

Stephanie’s superpower:

 

Using Scorecards to train new hires and cut ramp time by 67%

 

Stephanie’s workflow: 

 

  1. Create your scorecards

    1. “The scorecard helps ensure that every call has really solid logistics that encompass an effective and successful training"

  2. Listen to your calls

  3. Add comments as you go

    1. Help your reps take action on your feedback and share any additional context you may have.

  4. Score your trainers

  5. Ask your trainers to self-reflect

  6. Match your scorecard to the self-reflective scorecard to ensure alignment and uncover gaps in skills that trainers may not be aware of.

 

The Power of Scorecards

“Scorecards allow for standardization and real-time coaching to ensure that all trainers are efficiently and effectively being trained up to the same quality at a fraction of the time.”

— Stephanie Pellegrino, Director of Customer Education at Gong
