Purchase charts for your industry. If you are trying to justify training expenditures, you might use this custom comparison chart, which shows training expenditures for organizations with 60%+ win rates compared to those winning under 60%.

There may be a correlation between these expenditures and higher success levels, as the high-win companies spend more.

Purchase custom comparison charts such as this one showing close rates from companies with training budgets over $2500 per rep to those under $2500.
