RAIN Selling: Foundations of Consultative Selling

Lead masterful sales conversations with consultative selling skills.

Sales are won and lost based on the conversations your sellers have with buyers. Too often, sellers make mistakes—common mistakes that end up losing them the sale.

Our RAIN Selling: Foundations of Consultative Selling training program will teach your team a proven process for leading masterful sales conversations from “hello” to “let’s go.”

This program introduces the strategies and tactics that are the foundation of successful selling, and the key selling skills your team needs to become top performers.

Watch the video to learn how consultative selling can transform your team.

We partnered with RAIN Group to help enable our sales team around consultative selling. With a mix of virtual sessions, application assignments, and coaching sessions, it has allowed our sellers to take it from the sessions to adoption in their day-to-day activities. RAIN Group also improved coaching for our leaders. This training has had a huge impact for us. We’ve already witnessed great results and continue to receive positive feedback from our sellers.
