SALES TRAINING SHOULD START WITH YOUR BUSINESS, NOT A SLIDE DECK
Most sales training companies can tell you what they teach.
We think the better question is:
What does your team actually need to get better at?
Before recommending a training program, we assess your goals, sales process, business development activities, pipeline, and where opportunities are getting stuck or lost.
Then we build the training around those needs.
That could mean recurring training sessions, an intensive program, virtual or in-person training, or training combined with ongoing coaching and reinforcement.
Your organization shouldn’t have to adapt to a predetermined sales training program. The training should adapt to your organization.
OUR APPROACH: BUILD THE SYSTEM. BUILD THE SKILLS. MAKE THEM STICK.
Effective sales training isn’t an event. It’s part of a larger process for improving sales performance.
1. Assess
We evaluate your goals, pipeline, current sales process, business development activities, and performance gaps to determine where improvement can have the greatest impact.
2. Build the Strategy
If your organization doesn’t already have a clear sales strategy and repeatable process, we help establish a common framework for moving opportunities from initial conversation to new business.
3. Train the Team
We build interactive sales training around the skills and behaviors your people need to improve, using situations they actually encounter with prospects and clients.
4. Coach & Reinforce
When appropriate, we use coaching, role-play, real-world application, feedback, and accountability to help turn new skills into consistent behaviors.
5. Measure & Adjust
We evaluate what’s changing, identify remaining gaps, and adjust the training, coaching, or strategy based on what we’re seeing.
BUILT FOR PROFESSIONALS WHO SELL THROUGH EXPERTISE AND TRUST
Selling professional services is different.
Your prospects aren’t simply comparing products, features, and prices. They’re deciding
who they trust to solve an important problem.
That’s why our sales training doesn’t rely on canned scripts, manipulative closing techniques, or high-pressure tactics.
We teach a consultative approach built around asking better questions, understanding the prospect’s real issues, communicating value, establishing expectations, and helping qualified prospects make good decisions
Programs can be built for:
- Attorneys and law firms
- Accountants and accounting firms
- Financial advisors and RIAs
- Consultants and advisors
- Partners and client-facing professionals
- Founders and business owners
- B2B sales teams
We don’t teach professionals to become stereotypical salespeople. We teach them to become better at developing business as themselves
WHAT MAKES SALES TRAINING ACTUALLY WORK?
Choosing the right sales training company shouldn’t come down to comparing course catalogs.
Look at how the training is designed to create change.
Polin Performance Group’s approach is built around each of these principles.
Assessment Before Training
Training should address an identified problem, not be selected from a menu before anyone understands what’s happening.
Real Customization
Changing a logo or swapping a few examples isn’t customization. The content, exercises, and conversations should reflect your clients, sales process, culture, challenges, and objectives.
Practice, Not Just Presentation
Sales is a skill. Your people need opportunities to practice conversations, work through actual situations, role-play, and receive feedback.
Reinforcement After Training
Knowing what to do doesn’t guarantee someone will do it. Coaching, practice, application, and accountability can help new skills become consistent behaviors.
Measurable Results & Continuous Improvement
Sales training should deliver more than knowledge and success shouldn’t be based on number of sessions completed- the training should drive measurable business results. We track progress against your goals, including stronger pipelines, shorter sales cycles, improved conversion rates, and increased revenue. We continuously
evaluate performance and adjust our approach to ensure training translates into lasting results.
Real-World Sales Experience
The people training your team should understand what happens outside the training room.
WHAT CAN CHANGE WHEN SALES TRAINING WORKS?
The right training should create improvements your team and leadership can see in day-to-day business development.
A More Consistent Sales Process
Your people have a shared framework for moving opportunities forward instead of everyone approaching sales differently.
Better Sales Conversations
Participants ask stronger questions, uncover more meaningful issues, communicate value more effectively, and establish clearer next steps.
Greater Confidence
Professionals become more comfortable initiating business development conversations, discussing difficult topics, handling objections, and asking for commitments.
Better Pipeline Quality
Your team becomes more effective at determining which opportunities deserve additional time and which should be disqualified.
More Consistent Business Development
Written plans, training, coaching, and accountability help turn business development from something people intend to do into something they consistently execute.
Skills That Continue Beyond Training
The objective isn’t temporary enthusiasm. It’s creating skills and behaviors your people can continue using after the formal training ends.
SALES TRAINING + COACHING
Training builds the skills. Coaching helps people apply them.
For organizations that need additional reinforcement, ongoing group or individual sales coaching can be incorporated into the engagement.
Coaching focuses on what participants are dealing with right now: actual opportunities, prospect meetings, pipeline challenges, objections, follow-up, business development activity, and conversations they need to have.
The training doesn’t have to end when the training session does.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT CUSTOMIZED SALES TRAINING
How do you customize sales training for an organization?
We begin by understanding your goals, sales process, clients, team, and current challenges. From there, we determine which skills and behaviors need attention and customize the content, exercises, examples, format, and frequency accordingly.
How long should a sales training program last?
It depends on your objectives, team, current sales process, skill gaps, and desired level of behavior change. Some organizations benefit from concentrated training, while others need shorter sessions delivered over time with coaching and reinforcement.
Is sales training better in person or virtually?
Both can be effective when the training is interactive and well designed. We provide live virtual and in-person sales training and recommend the format based on your team, schedule, objectives, and geography.
Can sales training be customized for professional services firms?
Yes. Attorneys, accountants, financial advisors, consultants, and other professionals typically sell through expertise, relationships, credibility, and trust. Their sales training should reflect that rather than relying on techniques developed for transactional selling.
Can sales coaching be included with training?
Yes. Group or individual coaching can be incorporated to reinforce training, address actual sales situations, and provide additional practice, feedback, and accountability.
Do you offer sales training for individuals?
Yes. Professionals who don’t need a customized organizational program can participate in PPG’s live 12-Week Sales Training Program, which covers the core skills and processes required to develop new business more consistently.
