The document discusses the importance of ongoing sales education and marketing to a company's own sales force. It argues that marketing dollars may be better spent marketing products to the sales force rather than directly to customers.

It should be a formalized, customized, and evaluated plan to continually equip the sales force with up-to-date product knowledge so they can meet customer needs and drive sales.
