RAIN Group Secures Spot on Selling Power’s Top 20 Sales Training Companies List

  • Written by: RAIN Group


Global sales training company recognized for its impactful in-person and virtual training, coaching, and reinforcement solutions; impressive client results and delivery scores achieved

 

SYDNEY —May 22, 2020 — RAIN Group, a global sales training firm that delivers award-winning results through in-person and virtual sales training, coaching, and reinforcement, announced today it was named to Selling Power’s Top 20 Sales Training Companies list for the fifth consecutive year.

 

Providing sales training solutions since 2002, RAIN Group was recognized for its training and retention offerings, innovative solutions and services, and contributions to the sales training marketplace.

 

“In the last year, we’ve experienced impressive growth not only in the U.S., but also abroad. With the current health dilemma, we’re seeing a rise in clients converting from in-person to virtual trainings. Virtual training is new to many organizations, but not to us. We’ve been delivering virtual trainings for years. It’s worked incredibly well with one client even winning a Gold Stevie Award recently for the results they achieved following the training. But you have to do it the right way. You can’t just take what you were delivering in a classroom and present it online. It won’t work and you won’t get the same engagement or results,” shared Mike Schultz, president at RAIN Group. 

                                                                                                              

To earn a spot on the coveted list, participants were required to complete a comprehensive application and clients submitted surveys on their experience working with the training provider and the results achieved.

 

Schultz, who was named a top influential sales professional by LinkedIn, continued, “It was a banner year. We won four Gold Stevie Awards, introduced new offerings like RAIN Group Total Access and Execution Assurance, launched RAIN Sales Prospecting [online], and enhanced some of our workshops. The Center for Sales Research tackled new studies on Top Performance in Sales Negotiation and Top Sales Leadership Challenges and Priorities, and we shared those insights in white papers that have received thousands of downloads. While the way of life is undergoing change, the value we continue to provide sellers and sales leaders isn’t. To top it off, our new book Virtual Selling: How to Build Relationships, Differentiate, and Win Sales Remotely launches in July and teaches sellers how to succeed in today’s new sales environment.”
