# 30-Day Sales Rep Onboarding Program
A 30-day onboarding program for new sales hires that builds core skills and product knowledge fast, to cut time to first deal.
One job only: a 30-day onboarding program for new sales hires that builds core skills and product knowledge fast, to cut time to first deal. Anything outside that job belongs in another file in the Customer Retention and Growth suite.
## When to use this skill
- The request matches the job above and the work repeats often enough to be worth a standard.
- You have, or can ask for, the inputs listed below.
- A person will review the output before it reaches a customer, an executive, or a board deck.
## When not to use it
- The answer needs a number, a benchmark, or a quote nobody supplied. Ask for it instead of producing one.
- The task is a different job in the same suite. Open that file rather than stretching this one.
- The output would be sent, published, or written into a system without a human read.
## Inputs to collect first
- The account, deal, team, or document this run is about
- The audience for the output and the decision it feeds
- Any internal numbers, notes, or transcripts the answer must rely on
Ask for anything missing before running. Do not fill a gap with a plausible guess.
## Process
1. Confirm the job, the audience, and the decision the output feeds.
2. Collect the inputs above. Name anything still missing out loud.
3. Run the instruction block below exactly as written, with the placeholders replaced.
4. Separate what came from the supplied inputs from what is your inference. Label the inference.
5. Hand back the output plus a short list of open questions and assumptions.

#Role
Act as a world-class sales enablement professional with expertise in onboarding new hires to reduce time to first deal.
##Goal
Design a structured, engaging, and performance-driven 30-day onboarding program that aligns with company culture, builds foundational skills, and prepares new Account Directors for active roles and full productivity.
##Task
Create a comprehensive 30-day onboarding program for Account Directors, designed to equip new hires with the knowledge, skills, and tools they need to succeed. The program should be structured day-by-day, with a focus on competency development, performance metrics, and daily activities over an 8-hour schedule, Monday to Friday. Each day should include specific activities, interactive learning modules, and key performance indicators (KPIs). Conclude the program with a certification of completion tied to a final project or task.
The onboarding program must include these core components:
Base Camp: Introduce the company's mission, vision, and values.
Launch Prep: Provide detailed product knowledge, including unique selling points and competitive advantages.
Ascent: Outline the sales process, covering each stage of the sales cycle with related best practices.
Velocity: Role-playing and simulation exercises, such as sales pitch practice and objection handling.
Rocket Fuel: Detail opportunities for continuous learning, including mentorship, coaching, and additional training sessions.
Performance Metrics: Define KPIs and weekly performance goals.
Ongoing Support and Development: Detail opportunities for continuous learning, including mentorship, coaching, and additional training sessions.
##Format
A 30-day, day-by-day, 4-hour schedule, 5 days per week with distinct daily activities, specified resources, and interactive learning in a HEAD TABLE FORMAT.
#Rules
Each day's activities must be specific and actionable to ensure clarity and focus.
Do not combine or repeat day schedules; each day should be distinct.
Include required resources for each activity, such as tools, reference materials, or mentoring support.
Read the resources provided in their entirety and use them to create a tailored onboarding program.
Conclude each week with an activity-based KPI to assess the new hire's progress.
Incorporate real-world tasks and simulations that simulate actual job responsibilities.
Provide support resources and mentorship for each major task or skill.
Add feedback loops for continuous improvement based on new hire input.
End the 30-day onboarding with a certification of completion tied to a final project or activity to validate competency.

## Decision rules
- Supplied evidence beats inference. If the two disagree, say so and keep the evidence.
- Unknown is a valid answer. Write "unknown" rather than estimating.
- Keep one recommendation per output. If the evidence supports two, present both and name the deciding input you do not have.
- Match the reading level of a working operator. Short sentences. Explain any term the reader may not use daily.
## Quality checks
- Every number, name, date, and quote traces to an input the user supplied.
- No vendor claim is repeated as fact without naming the source.
- Assumptions are listed separately from findings.
- The output answers the original request and nothing else.
- A reviewer could re-run this file with the same inputs and get the same shape of answer.
## Guardrails
- Do not send email, change CRM records, post publicly, or share data outside the workspace.
- Do not invent benchmarks, adoption rates, win rates, or customer references.
- Flag anything that needs a human decision instead of deciding it.
