"The demand for sales coaching and learning continues to grow, and Brainshark is well positioned to capitalize on this growing demand," the report notes. "Brainshark continues to push the envelope in sales coaching and learning."
Aragon Research Globes are "a market evaluation tool that graphically represents analysis of a specific market and its component vendors." Vendors are classified as Specialists, Innovators, Contenders and Leaders. According to Aragon, Leaders are "the companies that have comprehensive strategies that align with industry direction and market demand, and that effectively perform against that strategic backdrop."
In its recent Globe, Aragon notes that Sales Coaching and Learning (SCL) solutions "make the process of training, practice and just-in-time learning a breeze," with key functionality for onboarding, video role-plays, just-in-time microlearning, ongoing skills development, course and content management, and analytics. The report continues, noting that these capabilities are especially important and relevant in today's times:
"While inside sales teams have always been remote, now, in a post-pandemic era, the reality is that almost all sales teams will have to become adept at selling via voice and video calls. If there was ever a time to deploy sales coaching and learning, that time is now."

"The last few months have dramatically changed the way client-facing teams engage with their buyers – and each other," said Brendan Cournoyer, vice president of marketing at Brainshark. "Interactions have changed, goals have changed, and even the skills required of certain sales roles have changed. Within such a rapidly evolving business environment, the ability to keep teams continuously prepared – no matter where they work – is critically important, and that's what Brainshark provides. We believe Brainshark's status as a Leader – and our foremost positioning for performance – underscore the power of our platform and the outstanding results our customers achieve."
