Our Story

In 1990, under the direction of author Duane Sparks, The Sales Board and Action Selling were created. The company began with the question: Which selling skills have the greatest impact on sales productivity? “You can’t teach anyone 100 different things to focus on,” said Sparks. “You need to have a finite number of skill improvement areas to work on.”


After five (5) years of research, a short list of Critical Selling Skills emerged as the most important sales productivity boosters.
