Sale page : Insight Selling

Selling and buying are changing.

What it takes to win sales today is different than it was just a few years ago.

In our breakthrough research report, What Sales Winners Do Differently, we studied over 700 business-to-business purchases to find out what the winners of major sales opportunities do differently than the sellers who came in second place, but lost.

The #1 factor that separated sales winners from the rest was this:
“The seller educated me with new ideas and perspectives.”

We see this not only in our research, but also with our clients who are achieving significant sales success with an education and insight-based approach.

Not only are they selling more, they’re strengthening and deepening their client relationships while they’re at it.

Implementing insight selling, however, is fraught with challenges. Getting it done right is tricky. But those who do reap the rewards.

That’s why we created Insight Selling by RAIN Group, a comprehensive online training program that will help you become a true change agent for your buyers, resulting in increased sales and stronger client relationships.

It’s exactly what you need to transform yourself into an insight seller and ultimately find yourself in the winner’s circle more often.

Winning Sales is Tougher Than Ever

Buyers are more educated than ever.

Competition is stiff.

Buyer options are endless.

While it used to be enough to present a strong ROI case and sell the value of your products and services, there’s been a shift in how buyers buy.

What used to work is no longer cutting it.

Today’s buyers want and need your insights. They value sellers who share new perspectives and collaborate with them to develop the best solutions.

In fact today’s top sellers—those who find themselves in the winner’s circle more often than the rest—don’t just sell the value of their products and services, they become the value.

In Insight Selling by RAIN Group, we’ll teach you exactly how they do it.

Based on our on-site training program for corporate clients, you’ll learn:
