The Sales Training Committee

The American Society for Training and Development (ASTD) has established a board-approved and fully supported Sales Training Committee. The purpose of the ASTD Sales Training Committee is to provide thought leadership, guidance and advice in support of the Sales Training Drivers initiative as well as tools, resources, and support for the World-Class Sales Competency Model©.

Members of the ASTD Sales Training Committee serve on a 1-year term and meeting frequently online and in-person. The ASTD Sales Training Committee is chaired by a volunteer ASTD member and works closely with ASTD staff (including the Director of ASTD Sales Training Drivers).
