1. Problem

Certifyou faced a critical challenge when their sales manager left, leaving the company without any structured sales systems or an understanding of key performance tracking. This lack of direction hindered their ability to scale effectively. Additionally, they struggled with recruiting high-quality sales professionals and increasing sales activities necessary to boost revenue from their training programs.
