Industrial & Manufacturing Sales Training

Master the marketplace with industrial and manufacturing sales training.

The days of sitting back and taking orders are over. Manufacturing and industrial sales teams need to be proactive at finding buyers, selling higher, and expanding key accounts. Your sellers may know your products inside and out, but can they excel in an increasingly competitive sales environment?

Sellers in manufacturing and industrial sales are highly technical, but this alone doesn’t translate to winning sales. Your sellers need to rethink the way they approach sales conversations and the value they bring to buyers, ensuring they lead with new ideas that resonate and set them apart from the competition.

Simply put, modern sellers need to avoid stagnation and engage strategically with buyers.

RAIN Group works with industrial and manufacturing sales organizations to grow pipelines, increase win rates, and boost seller agility.

Transform Your Industrial & Manufacturing Sales Team

In a modern industrial and manufacturing marketplace, your sellers need to make time for business development. Time spent managing supply chain and logistics concerns detracts from opportunities to expand accounts, build relationships, and prospect for new business.

Consistent Training

Consistent Training

The globalization of industrial and manufacturing companies has led to training and coaching efforts that are too fragmented to be useful. Keep your approach consistent across all divisions and make sure training sticks.

Strategic Partnerships

Strategic Partnerships

Your organization is more than just a vendor. Train your sellers to establish partnerships with your customers and proactively identify opportunities to expand existing accounts.

Engage Early

Engage Early

Customers want to hear from you early—but many sellers aren’t confident reaching out. Get your sellers engaged early in the buying process to influence RFPs.

Stay Agile

Stay Agile

Consultative Selling

Consultative Selling

Selling in the industrial and manufacturing market can be highly technical, but your sellers need to go beyond products and jargon to sell on value. In Foundations of Consultative Selling, your sellers learn how to lead masterful conversations to differentiate themselves and your company.


Sales Negotiation

If your sellers can’t lead confident negotiations with customers, there’s another organization that will. But stiff competition doesn’t mean you need to compromise in negotiations. RAIN Sales Negotiation will teach your sellers to keep margins, profitability, and win rates high in the face of objections.
