As the payments industry consolidates through mergers, vertical consolidation, and technological advancements, training is at the forefront of Beyond’s strategy. “Moving back to a one-on-one training model will give new hires early and continued success, but it doesn’t stop there,” states Rose.
Rose plans to develop a training program based on not just early competence, but continued pursuit of mastery. He will lean on his experience as an in-field sales leader, to help guide both technology and training improvements to translate to the “trenches.”
“I’ve experienced it firsthand,” says Rose speaking of his role as a Division Director. “It’s powerful to bring that thought process to sales leadership. We have to understand and continue to evaluate what’s going on in the marketplace.”
