Industry Solutions
The majority of organizations rate their leadership development programs as ineffective, and most managers entering their first role have never received formal training. Your buyer knows the industry's track record and is skeptical of the next program that promises to fix everything. Salesmotion gives your team intelligence on leadership gaps, succession planning priorities, and workforce investment signals so you reach decision-makers when the need is clear. Guild Education saves 6+ hours per seller per week.
Selling leadership development and management training, whether you are FranklinCovey, DDI, CCL, Korn Ferry, or BTS Group, requires understanding the specific leadership challenges and succession planning priorities at each target organization. CHROs and talent leaders evaluate management training vendors based on how well they understand the organization's culture, leadership gaps, and strategic growth trajectory. Generic sales approaches and canned programs are dismissed immediately. Thorough account research is essential.
The management training market is at an inflection point. Global leadership development spending exceeds $60 billion annually. Virtual and hybrid delivery models are now permanent fixtures, not pandemic workarounds. Executive coaching is going digital at scale, creating new competitive dynamics. And the boomer retirement wave is creating unprecedented succession planning urgency, forcing companies to accelerate leadership pipeline development at every level of the organization.
Management training sales requires timing outreach to organizational moments that create acute leadership development needs. When a CEO transition occurs, new leadership priorities cascade through the organization. When a company announces a major restructuring, leadership capability gaps become urgent. When a CHRO is hired, vendor evaluation cycles open. These buying signals are highly specific and time-sensitive. Missing them by even a few weeks can mean missing the entire opportunity.
