Don’t Stop at "Onboarded"

TL;DR: Watch the video overview of this blog here

Getting a new rep through onboarding is a win.

But the real goal? Turning that onboarded rep into a consistent, high-performing seller who stays with you for the long haul.

Too many companies stop their momentum right after onboarding ends — and that’s when reps start to drift away.

With the right follow-up training and tools, you can turn onboarding success into sales success.

The Danger of the “Onboarding Cliff”

Here’s what often happens:

  1. Reps complete onboarding, feeling confident.

  2. The structure and check-ins suddenly disappear.

  3. Sales activity slows. Motivation dips.

  4. Drop-off happens before real sales results arrive.

This isn’t a talent problem — it’s a training continuity problem.

The 3-Part Path to Top Seller Status

1. Continue Skill Development Immediately

Don’t wait weeks to introduce advanced skills.

After onboarding, move reps straight into:

  • Prospecting masterclasses

  • Objection-handling sessions

  • Closing strategy workshops

Pro tip: Keep it bite-sized — short videos, quick checklists, and interactive roleplays work best.


2. Automate Ongoing Training

Utilize a software platform to:

  • Assign follow-up training automatically when onboarding ends.

  • Send reminders for skill refreshers.

  • Track completion and engagement so managers can follow up with non-finishers.


3. Use Data to Coach Strategically

Your platform’s engagement and performance dashboards should show:

  • Which reps are booking appointments

  • Who’s converting leads to sales

  • Where skill gaps exist

Managers can then provide targeted coaching based on real data — not guesswork.

How ConveYour Makes This Easy

You already have the AI onboarding feature to get reps started fast. Pair it with:

  • Training modules for advanced selling skills.

  • Automation tools to keep reps on track.

  • Dashboards to spot coaching opportunities early.

This creates a continuous improvement loop that turns average reps into top sellers.

Real-World Example

A direct sales company using this approach saw:

  • 25% more reps hitting monthly sales targets after 90 days.

  • A drop in post-onboarding attrition by nearly half.

  • Managers spending more time with high-potential reps and less time chasing low-engagement ones.
