Training That Works
Training That Works is the podcast for sales leaders who are tired of programs that don't move the number. Host Rustin Schroeder sits down with directors, VPs, and Chief Learning Officers to unpack what actually drives performance — from onboarding and sales enablement to leadership development and coaching at scale.
Every episode is a real conversation with someone who has built and run training inside companies you know. No theory, no buzzwords, no recycled frameworks. Just the strategies, mistakes, and breakthroughs that separate training that checks a box from training that changes results.

Build Learning Journeys with Matt Cohen
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of Training That Works, Rustin Schroeder talks with Matt Cohen about the kind of enablement that actually changes behavior and revenue… not just slides. Matt explains why every training must start with clear learning objectives tied to leading KPIs, and how anchoring content to the sales process keeps it real for the field. He breaks down the biggest mistakes teams make… one-off events, theory without application, and no follow-up… and shows how to replace them with programmatic, thematic learning that sticks.
Then it gets tactical. Matt walks through installing sales plays by stage and role, winning executive sponsorship, and focusing the whole org around enterprise AI readiness so reps execute instead of react. He closes with the soft-skill edge… put relationships before tasks, crawl-walk-run, and master the internal sale so stakeholders make your priorities theirs. If you’ve ever wondered how to turn training into measurable performance… this conversation shows you exactly where to start.
