The ROI measurement of sales training has come a long way since Jack Phillips’s classic, Measuring Return On Investment was published 15 years ago. This up-to-the-minute book offers sophisticated methods that match the new world of complex selling.  It is a welcome and useful contribution that will do as much to help serious practitioners today as his well-known work did in the 1990s.
