“We selected LSA Global over several other sales providers based upon their ability to clarify and align our sales strategy, their expertise in identifying the critical business sales training scenarios necessary to meet our growth targets, and their willingness to stand behind the results with targeted sales coaching and a pay-for-performance guarantee.

They have become an integral part of my sales team as we rapidly scale. I would recommend them to any head of sales looking for a true partner.”
Anthony Lanham | SVP, Sales North America | Jumio

“We turned to LSA  to help us take our executive and solution selling skills to the next level.

Their ability to formally assess our situation, identify key sales skill gaps, develop a plan to measure the results, and fully implement a key sales initiative has been outstanding.

LSA delivers the full solution; not just business sales training.”
Daniel Heckman | Director of Enterprise Sales | Avid Technology

“This sales strategy and methodology moved my team from good to great, outperforming teams four times our size. We are now guides and managers of the sales process rather than pushers and pullers.

Employing these techniques opened doors with decision makers who consistently denied access in the past.

Bottom line, it worked in the toughest market we’ve ever faced.”
Robert Zeman | District Sales Manager | Aflac

Clients across multiple industries that have participated in LSA’s Business Sales Training programs have achieved measurable gains — growing sales by 40%, increasing units sold by 42%, raising average pricing by 12%, and closing more than 50% of their pipeline. These are not marketing claims — they reflect documented results from recent clients facing challenges similar to yours.

Sales skill development is a critical lever in improving sales force effectiveness — but on its own, it is rarely sufficient.

For business sales training to deliver meaningful impact, it must equip sales teams with the specific knowledge, capabilities, and situational judgment required to influence real client outcomes. Yet, our analysis of more than 800 training initiatives reveals a consistent pattern: only 1 in 5 participants change behavior from even well-designed, highly targeted sales training alone.

The implication is clear — training without context and reinforcement underperforms.

To sustainably improve sales performance, organizations must first ensure that their go-to-market strategy is clearly defined, actionable, and aligned across the business. At the same time, a high-performance sales culture must actively reinforce and operationalize that strategy. This includes doing the hard work required to attract, engage, and retain top sales talent.

Only when sales strategy and sales culture are aligned enough does skill development translate into measurable results.

From there, the focus shifts to precision — identifying, developing, and measuring the critical few sales skills, mindsets, and scenarios that disproportionately drive performance in areas such as:

  • Sales Rep Assessment Simulation
    A research-backed, evidence-based sales assessment designed to improve how you hire, promote, and develop top-performing sellers. Evaluate and benchmark the sales competencies that matter most — aligned directly to your unique go-to-market strategy — so you can make more accurate talent decisions and accelerate performance where it counts.
  • Sales Skills Assessment
    Used in combination with structured interviews, this proven assessment is grounded in behavioral, research-backed sales competencies. It builds stakeholder buy-in, establishes a clear performance baseline, pinpoints critical skill gaps, and provides the data needed to tailor targeted coaching and development.
  • Sales Leadership Simulation Assessment
    Immerse sales leaders in a high-stakes simulation of their current or future role to rigorously evaluate readiness. Using a blend of live role-players and AI-enabled analysis, this assessment creates a realistic, pressure-tested environment to observe decision-making, leadership judgment, and execution in action. Capabilities are benchmarked against a global pool of sales leaders, providing clear, comparative insight to guide selection, promotion, and development decisions..
  • Sales Territory and Major Account Planning Training
    Equip your sales team with the strategies, frameworks, and skills required to maximize territory performance and unlock growth. This customized training delivers proven approaches to prioritize opportunities, allocate resources effectively, and drive consistent results across sales territories.
  • Inside Sales Training
    Our inside sales training workshops are designed to help teams consistently generate qualified sales appointments, strengthen referral-based selling, and elevate core inside sales capabilities. The focus is on driving more transactional revenue — without compromising relationships, pricing integrity, or long-term customer value.
  • Executive Selling
    Executive selling training equips sales professionals to engage effectively with senior decision-makers by focusing on what matters most at the executive level. Participants learn how to connect offerings to strategic priorities, quantify business impact, and position solutions as high-value investments that address critical organizational objectives.
  • Sales Management Training for Sales Leaders
    This proven sales management training program equips sales leaders and managers with a practical, results-focused methodology to drive performance and scale impact. Leaders build the critical sales leadership, management, and coaching skills needed to move the needle.

Business Sales Training That Drives Revenue Growth

  • Sales Communication and Presentation Training
    Our sales communication and presentation workshops are designed for customer-facing professionals whose interactions directly influence buying decisions. Whether delivering sales presentations, executive briefings, technical overviews, or briefing center sessions, participants learn how to communicate with clarity, credibility, and impact — ensuring every interaction strengthens trust, advances the conversation, and drives results.
  • Sales Negotiation Training
    Our sales negotiation training equips sales professionals to prepare for, navigate, and lead negotiations with confidence and discipline. Participants learn how to protect margins, maintain credibility, and accelerate sales cycles — while creating more balanced, value-based customer relationships that support both immediate wins and long-term success.
  • LinkedIn Sales Training for Modern Social Sellers
    Modern B2B buyers expect digitally fluent sellers who add value at every stage of the buying journey. This training equips sales professionals to leverage LinkedIn strategically — building credibility, engaging the right stakeholders, and positioning themselves as trusted resources and insightful guides. The result is a stronger pipeline, higher-quality conversations, and more opportunities created through social selling.
  • Sales Performance Coaching
    Our sales performance coaching is grounded in research demonstrating that sales professionals who receive consistent, high-quality coaching from managers and mentors achieve up to four times higher performance. This approach focuses on reinforcing critical behaviors, accelerating skill development, and translating strategy into day-to-day execution — driving sustained improvements in results.
  • Sales Training Measurement
    Our sales training measurement approach establishes a clear foundation for accountability and reinforcement. It tracks skill adoption, links behavior change to business outcomes, and delivers actionable data to inform targeted sales coaching — ensuring that training translates into measurable performance improvement.
  • Sales Microlearning Video Library and Job Aids
    Our research-backed sales microlearning library includes more than 100 targeted modules designed for sales leaders, managers, and reps. Covering the full sales cycle, each module is built for rapid application, reinforced with practical job aids to drive consistency, retention, and on-the-job performance.

At the onset of our engagement with LSA, I was skeptical that an outside firm would be able to understand and dissect our organization’s highly complex and technical business challenges.

As a result, I would highly recommend LSA Global to any leader struggling with building the strategic alignment and high performance teams necessary to generate sales growth, in a way that fits their unique corporate culture.
