Top 20 Sales Training Companies 2018

The Sales Board is a leading provider of sales training products for sales forces and customer contact teams (customer service, technical support, etc.). Sales forces are trained with our Action Selling product line. Customer Contact groups are trained with our Customer Relationship Professional (CRP) product line. Our primary mission is to help companies achieve revenue goals through dramatic improvements in sales culture. The best way to create a highly productive sales culture is to align all customer contact employees with a common and effective customer-communications method. Unless all customer contact employees have shared customer-communications behaviors, a culture gap exists that ultimately damages sales productivity.

We change the way sales organizations sell. For those who desire to change the way they find, convert, and grow clients, we do this by attacking the single largest miss in selling today – addressing the fact that decision makers are more emotionally closed to being sold by salespeople now more than any other time in history. And not to be overshadowed is that the appetite of next-generation sales professionals is equally emotionally closed to selling in traditional frameworks. Our field, inside, contact center, and coaching solutions are all built on a proprietary foundational platform designed to help organizations reframe their approach to selling, train their unique sellers, certify their leaders, and transform their selling culture.
