SaaS Sales Training Course

Our SaaS sales training course is a 1 day workshop where we work with you to transform your sales and lead generation results.  

We guarantee there is no other programme comparable to this in terms of the content and depth.  We will demonstrate and coach you through the process of finding, closing and growing customer accounts.   

Choose your course agenda based on the main SaaS sales roles, namely SDRs and Account Executives to ensure the relevance of the course content. 

This course is ideal for any customer facing SaaS salespeople and line managers of salespeople who need a solid grounding in selling SaaS solutions.  Previous attendees have included:

• Market Development Reps
• Sales Development Reps
• Account Managers
• Business Development
• Line Managers
• Entrepreneurs/Founders

Traditional SaaS sales training is designed around calls, scripts and cold email programmes.  Whilst each of these are important, they are tactical and not strategic. 

Studies show that traditional sales training delivered over 1 or 2 days leaves everybody feeling great, but they forget up to 90% within 30 days. This means you have wasted up to 90% of your budget and sales are still stalled.

We don’t deliver training, we deliver results designed to grow MRR and scale your sales.

Our SaaS sales course has 2 different agendas based on the most common roles within SaaS, namely SDRs and Account Executives.  The SDR course is more focussed on finding new leads, and the Account Executives training is more focussed on closing and grow customer accounts.

Option 1 – SDR training:

• Session 1 – Sales Psychology.  Build the mindset, goals and activities of a Sales Winner. Discover the psychology behind every sale and how you can use this to your advantage.
• Session 2 – Discovery and Qualifying.  In order to sell, you need to be in front of the right people, at the right time, with the right message.  Get this right and sales becomes a lot easier.
• Session 3 – Outbound Prospecting.  Telephone selling skills for lead generation, securing demos and second meetings.  Develop messaging around pain points for telephone, voicemail, email & LinkedIn.
• Session 4 – Filling your Sales Funnel. Discover short and long term strategies for driving new sales enquiries whilst maximising your productivity. This session includes our omnichannel lead generation approach and will demonstrate how to use the telephone, cold email and LinkedIn in combination to fill your sales funnel.

Option 2 – Account Executive training:

• Session 1 – Sales Psychology.  Build the mindset, goals and activities of a Sales Winner. Discover the psychology behind every sale and how you can use this to your advantage.
• Session 2 – Selling Value not Price.  Discover the value drivers that will make your value proposition compelling whilst eliminating price objections.
• Session 3 – How to demo SaaS products. Create a measurable,  repeatable and winning process for delivering powerful SaaS demos. 
• Session 4 – Closing Deals. Understanding your customers decision making process, winning the bid process (if applicable) and how to close deals.  

People learn by doing not sitting in class rooms discussing sales theories.  Furthermore, without an opportunity to practice a new skill salespeople will lose the skill within 30 days.  We use a training methodology called “work based learning” which helps salespeople learn while they are working.  We do this by creating sales campaigns and working with your team to implement them.  We typically achieve:

• Up to 90% higher adoption of new skills
• A proven system to follow for everyone in the company
• Deeper integration between sales and marketing
• Increase in overall sales productivity
• Motivating goal setting strategies with personal action plans for everyone

All our training is delivered via the “work based learning” model.  This means that we work with teams in advance to set up live sales campaigns in order that participants are given opportunities to use the new skills they are learning.

This model ensures that attendees retain as much of the information as possible.  We run this in parallel with our live pipeline coaching which helps participants convert existing deals they are already working on. 

This course can be delivered:

1. On site as a one day bootcamp (dependant on Covid restrictions).  Minimum 5 people and additional travel charges may apply.
2. Remotely via 2 x half day workshops. Dates and times confirmed on booking.
3. Remotely via 4 x 90 minute virtual training sessions delivered live, on the first three calendar weeks of every month. After booking you are automatically added to the next course which starts on the first Thursday of every calendar month. 
4.  

During the training period each participant has a access to a dedicated coach via telephone, email and live chat. 

Option 3 – the open classes run every month and are restricted to 12 participants to ensure classes are not overcrowded. 

In addition, we do not allow more than 3 participants from any one company so the session time is never dominated by one organisation. 

Should you require more than 3 places we are happy to schedule a separate online class at no extra charge. 

Sales Reps leave our courses energised with new ideas, strategies and tactics but often additional questions can arise where they need a sounding board. We provide post course support through our Sales Coaching Platform built inside MS Teams where members can ask questions, via chat, mail and conferencing calls.

The platform uses the Microsoft Teams application and can be access via PC, Tablet or Phone and contains FREE Guides, Templates and Tools.

Ongoing 1-2-1 coaching is also available at an additional cost.

What level of sales experience do the sales training programmes cover?

Our clients have a wide variety of backgrounds but this course is most relevant for SaaS Business Owners, SaaS Sales Managers, SaaS salespeople and Account Managers. What they all have in common is a desire to learn and sell more.

Does the training work with other selling systems and methodologies?

Yes. If you have already trained your salespeople, our training and coaching works alongside any of the major selling systems, such as Miller Heiman, Richardson, SPIN or Solution Selling. In addition we can help you integrate our training into your sales playbook or help you build your own sales playbook. 

Will the training cover the sales topics that are important to me?

Yes – all our training and coaching includes an initial needs analysis where you can specify specific areas that are important to you on the condition they are related to sales and marketing.

Do you provide bespoke services for larger organisations?

Yes, and as examples we can help you create and run your own Sales Enablement portal, or provide speakers for sales conferences. Please email us via the Contact Us page with your enquiry.

What industries does the training cover?

Our sales training and coaching is specific to Business to Business selling, not to any specific vertical. We do however have lots of experience selling SaaS solutions within IT, Software, Pharma, Technology,  Digital Media,  Engineering, Oil & Gas, and Financial Services.

Can I cancel my coaching plan?

If you have ordered additional Coaching we have no desire to “lock in” clients who are in any way unhappy so Yes.  You can cancel your coaching plan at any time, and you will still have access to your coach, and all the content up until the date of when the next monthly payment would have been due.

Additionally many of our clients require bespoke training programmes built around the specific needs of their organisation and people. In SaaS we typically work with clients in three main areas as follows:

1. Value Proposition and Product Market Fit

2. Sales Process and selling systems

3. Scaling sales

Understanding where your business is helps us ensure we are delivering the most relevant content and support for your organisation.
