Selling Power is pleased to announce our 2018 listing of the Top 20 Sales Training Companies. Each company on the list submitted a comprehensive application that included a detailed overview of their offerings for both sales training and retention, innovative solutions or services they have recently launched, and their company’s unique contributions to the sales training marketplace. Additionally, they had at least four client companies submit a brief survey on their experience working with the training provider and their satisfaction with the results from the training effort and likelihood they would work with that specific training provider in the future.

The four main criteria used when comparing applicants and selecting the companies to include on this year’s list were:

  1. Depth and breadth of training offered
  2. Innovative offerings (specific training courses or methodology) or delivery methods
  3. Contributions to the sales-training market
  4. Strength of client satisfaction

The summaries below provide a snapshot of each company’s major offerings. We encourage you to visit their Websites and learn more. Based on the applications and customer feedback, the selection committee believes each company included on Selling Power’s 2018 Top 20 Sales Training Companies list has the potential to help your sales team achieve significantly better results – not just for your team and your company’s bottom line, but also for your customers.

Note: This list is organized in alphabetical order and no priority or ranking is implied.

Selling Power's Top 20 Sales Training Companies — 2018

  • The Sales Board is a leading provider of sales training products for sales forces and customer contact teams (customer service, technical support, etc.). Sales forces are trained with our Action Selling product line. Customer Contact groups are trained with our Customer Relationship Professional (CRP) product line. Our primary mission is to help companies achieve revenue goals through dramatic improvements in sales culture. The best way to create a highly productive sales culture is to align all customer contact employees with a common and effective customer-communications method. Unless all customer contact employees have shared customer-communications behaviors, a culture gap exists that ultimately damages sales productivity.

  • We change the way sales organizations sell. For those who desire to change the way they find, convert, and grow clients, we do this by attacking the single largest miss in selling today – addressing the fact that decision makers are more emotionally closed to being sold by salespeople now more than any other time in history. And not to be overshadowed is that the appetite of next-generation sales professionals is equally emotionally closed to selling in traditional frameworks. Our field, inside, contact center, and coaching solutions are all built on a proprietary foundational platform designed to help organizations reframe their approach to selling, train their unique sellers, certify their leaders, and transform their selling culture.
