    OpenSesame
    Very good selection of products. However, some products which we thought were available in both English and Spanish were not, or there was an undisclosed added cost for providing the product in Spanish as well as English. More transparency needed on this.

    Sandler Training
    Sandler Training is very well suited for ALL discovery calls, and deal progression calls. We are always focusing on pain, and how we can help solve a customer's unique challenge/problem Sandler is sometimes less effective when it comes deep into negotiation, BUT the important thing is that Sandler skills at the beginning of a conversation will help negotiation points towards the end of a sales cycle (but sometimes Sandler is too rigid, at the end)

    • Gives our team a nice framework for how to communicate with prospects
    • They came out and did in person training which was really nice to be able to role play in person. We're so tired of doing trainings over Zoom
    • This framework is very effective for gaining trust with prospects and reducing ghosting

    Sandler Training
    • One Sales methodology will not be enough to be able to handle all client interactions. At times additionally methodologies like Challenger can be use to help sales people be effective.
    • Can be difficult to access live sessions outside of UK and US
    • Sandler Training Sales certifications generally come at a seperate cost to the training

    We haven't used much else that compares to Sandler. We use different tools to assist us with training reps. One tool we use now is Outreach Kaia. It lets us listened into conversations with clients and teach reps with out having to tap into the line right at that moment
