Is this the right fit for your team?

This is a strong fit if:

  • You sell complex, high-value B2B solutions with long cycles and multiple decision makers
  • You want training tailored to your organisation and market
  • You have a team ready to learn and advance on live opportunities
  • Leaders are willing to reinforce new habits afterwards

This is probably not for you if:

  • You are selling low-value, transactional products at speed
  • You are looking for the cheapest possible half-day event
  • You have no capacity to reinforce the training once the workshop ends
  • You are unwilling to involve your leaders

Who It’s For

This programme is ideal for:

  • Sales leaders responsible for key accounts or complex portfolios
  • Account directors looking to deepen client partnerships
  • Organisations wanting to align strategy, performance, and delivery

If your team needs to shift from transactional selling to strategic growth, this training provides the tools and frameworks to make it happen.

We don’t just offer standard programmes.

We deliver sales training that works.

You’ll benefit from programmes built on the mindsets, skills and tools used by leading professionals in value-based selling. Our focus isn’t just on ‘what’ to do, we show ‘how’ to do it with practical simulations.

All programmes can be delivered in formats that fit your team’s needs and can be blended for maximum effect:

  • In-person workshop sessions for high-impact learning
  • Remote instructor-led training for global teams
  • Client specific video programmes hosted in client LMS

What the Programme Covers

Our strategic sales training is built around proven commercial principles and real-world experience.

Key focus areas include:

  • Strategic Account Planning - Build and execute long-term plans for key clients.
  • Opportunity Qualification - Identify high-value deals early and prioritise effectively.
  • Executive Engagement - Strengthen influence with senior stakeholders.
  • Value-Based Selling - Connect business outcomes to customer goals.
  • Leadership Alignment - Ensure managers coach and measure strategic behaviours.

Each session combines interactive workshops, planning templates, and practical coaching to turn strategy into measurable action.

Why Strategic Training Matters

In many teams, sales activity drifts from strategy.

Strategic sales training realigns your people around what truly drives results, quality pipeline, profitable accounts, and consistent execution.

The benefits include:

  • Clearer account prioritisation and ownership
  • Stronger collaboration between sales and leadership teams
  • Improved forecasting and resource planning
  • Greater customer retention and long-term value

When strategy leads, performance follows.

Flexible Delivery

We offer face-to-face, virtual, and blended delivery options to fit your schedule and team structure.

Choose from:

  • One-off strategic planning workshops
  • Multi-session programmes across teams or regions
  • Ongoing coaching to embed strategic behaviours

Our delivery model ensures concepts are applied immediately, not forgotten after the session ends.

What teams say after the training

"The Sales Coach Network don’t just deliver training; they’ve offered input on our strategy, internal processes and how we operate as a business. They are focused on driving a shift in the business, in whatever form that takes, and their approach is collaborative and consultative. Feedback from the programme so far has been excellent. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to others."

Who delivers this?

Experienced practitioners, not presenters. The people leading your sessions have sold complex, high-value B2B deals, led sales teams, and built commercial functions of their own. They teach what they’ve done, not theory they’ve read.

That matters because your team can tell the difference.

Practitioners bring real examples, handle the hard questions in the room, and adapt the content to the deals your people are actually working. The result is training that sticks, because it comes from people who have 'carried a bag' and walked in their shoes.
