"I've known and admired RAIN Group's work for years, having been to several seminars and programs. I've recommended Mike Schultz, John Doerr, and their team to many industry professionals, and I'm always thanked by these professionals for making the introduction. RAIN Group truly understands and clearly explains how buyers make their purchasing decisions, and by doing so, sellers learn how they can best position themselves to close sales."

At RAIN Group, we:

Create rainmakers.

For us, good is not good enough. It’s our mission to help our clients create an army of rainmakers: top performers who drive robust growth. We study rainmakers. We know what it takes to make rain. We help companies around the globe make it happen.

Focus on the human side of selling.

While many factors affect sales performance, our work focuses on the human part of the equation. If you want to improve the performance of your people – from hiring the right people, to developing their skills and knowledge, to increasing their personal performance – RAIN Group can help.

Serve Fortune 500 and beyond.

Whether you’re a fortune 500 firm with a large sales force or an individual who has to wear the seller and doer hats, we have a suite of products and services to help you improve sales results. While our services are geared towards large and mid-market companies that sell complex products and services, many smaller organizations and individuals enhance their selling skills by attending our public and online sales training programs.

Improve sales skills with sales training and assessment.

Our RAIN Selling Sales Training System combines rigorous sales assessment, sales training programs, customizable online sales training, and robust reinforcement. We will help you develop selling skills in the way that best suits your needs. Our RAIN Selling methodology has been helping organizations and the individuals win more sales and achieve more success for decades.

Speed up the sales learning curve.

When it comes to the complex sale, it often takes inordinate amounts of time to get new sales reps up to speed enough to sell. And many never learn the full breadth and depth of knowledge they need to cross-sell, up-sell, and penetrate accounts as deeply as they could. We equip your team with the knowledge they need to get up to speed and start seeing sales success fast.

Have been there, from sales to management to senior leadership.

Our consultants and trainers have been in charge of hundreds of millions of dollars in sales as managers, have personally sold millions of dollars, have sold small price point products and services up through price points in the hundreds of millions of dollars. And we’ve done it across industries and continents.

Focus on the complex sale.

The complex sale presents a unique set of challenges. It can be a long sales process that requires dogged follow up, prospect and client education, high dollar investments, and multiple decision makers. You must connect, influence, persuade, and sell the impact of your solution. We’re here to help you win in complex sales situations.

Research sales relentlessly.

Since 2002, RAIN Group leaders and consultants have produced rigorous benchmark research resulting in publications such as Fees and Pricing Benchmark Reports, What’s Working in Lead Generation, How Clients Buy, Rainmaking Conversations, and others.
