Consultative Selling Insight Selling Productivity Opportunity Management Sales Management Sales Negotiation Sales Prospecting Strategic Account Management Virtual Selling Sales TrainingGetting through to buyers is no easy task. Especially in software sales, competition is stiff, sales cycles are lengthening, and price pressure is rampant. But one of the biggest hurdles of all? Getting beyond CIO/CTOs.
CMOs spend the biggest part of their budget on tech. CHROs want to retain and attract new talent. CFOs want predictable costs and to reduce OpEx. But software sellers have trouble understanding the needs and speaking the language of non-tech buyers, leaving opportunities and revenue on the table.
If you’re looking to enter new markets, generate high margins, grow revenue, and add value for customers, your sellers need to learn to speak your buyers’ language, leading with insights and identifying business drivers that specifically address the needs of non-tech verticals.
We can help. At RAIN Group, we’ve worked with software companies worldwide to drive sales results and maximize revenue.

Whether you’re selling a new, breakthrough software or trying to unseat established and well-known incumbents, the challenge for software sellers is the same: convincing buyers of the value.
In an industry rife with competition, your sellers must learn to speak around your services, focusing on high-impact messaging like security, AI, reducing data analysis costs, system failures, edge computing, and integrations/APIs to earn conversations and set you apart.
RAIN Group can give your sellers the training, processes, frameworks, and tools needed to have these conversations.
Finding good talent is hard enough, but getting sellers up to speed, motivated, and selling to their full potential is even more challenging—especially in the face of one-off or haphazard training. Give your team a common language and process that sets them up for success from the start.
Switching to a new sales model requires different processes and a different value proposition, and it can be tough for sellers to shift from selling products to complex engagements more reminiscent of professional services.
Most of your customers aren’t taking advantage of your full solution set, and it’s for good reason: many of your sellers aren’t confident identifying needs, speaking about areas outside their areas of expertise, or even partnering with team members in other sales centers.
Whether you’re facing established rivals or venture-backed startups, competition in the tech space is fierce. Your sellers must be poised to set your company apart when engaging new prospects—and it’s frequently them, as the seller, that makes the biggest difference.
Many software sellers think they know best, but asking questions and uncovering needs goes a long way to building trust and making recommendations that resonate. Give your sellers the skills they need build connections and keep the conversation going.

Earning new buyer conversations is tough, but trouble with prospecting frequently comes down to a lack of motivation, consistency, and strategy. Your sellers need to know which prospecting techniques work in software sales, and they need a proven, repeatable process to follow.

Even the best sellers stumble without the guidance of a strong manager and coach. Train your managers to maximize motivation, lead effective coaching conversations, and hold sellers accountable.
