“We reached out to LSA Global to support us in identifying the core competencies required for success for our inside sales teams. The consultant we engaged with, beyond her level of competence, was easy to work with and very adept, especially given the number of stakeholders, with varied agendas. That made a big difference in the outcome of a complex and very important inside sales training initiative.”
Sean Burns | Vice President, Learning and Development | ServiceSource 

“LSA is a great training and consulting resource. In less than a week turnaround time, they were able to recommend a ‘best in class’ solution to meet my team’s needs. They met my high expectations and were very responsive to my needs.”
Olivia Flach | Business Development Manager | Inside Sales Americas Retail Sales | SanDisk Corporation 

“You guys are awesome. Thanks so much for making us 32% more successful.”
Beth Rose-Kearns | VP Training | Technology

“This initiative has literally changed the way we do business in retail banking and [the provider’s] ability to partner with us and integrate themselves into the organization has made it possible. The inside sales training materials and format are even better than we had anticipated, and our expectations were high to begin with after your visits here! We have found them easy to use as a reference guide and training tool, which is not always the case with training materials. Thanks for making us tremendously more successful. We are incredible pleased with the services you have provided us.”
Ed Hauck | Sr. VP of Retail Banking | Financial Services

According to a recent study¹, 84% of inside sales teams within Best-in-Class companies achieve their annual quota, compared to 50% for Industry Average and 21% for Laggards. These same inside sales teams also boast an average 7.3% greater year-over-year increase in overall company profit margin.

The right inside sales team can make a difference.

  • Do your inside sales reps struggle with selling effectively over the phone?
  • Would you like to have shorter inside sales cycles?
  • Do you lack confidence in your inside sales team’s ability to respond to customer’s resistance?
  • Do your inside sales reps fail to effectively and efficiently identify key customer needs?

If your answer to any of the above questions is “yes,” then our proven Inside Sales Training is designed for you.

Description:
Inside Sales Training provides the inside sales skills, strategies, and tools necessary for working effectively with customers in a call center or inside sales environment. The proven inside sales workshop allows inside sales reps to prepare better for sales calls, project greater confidence, establish clear direction, identify customer objectives, issues, and needs, and, ultimately, close more business.

The interactive design includes inside sales skill application, group exercises, role plays, video-based instruction, and best practice modeling.

Outcomes and Benefits:
As a result of effectively implementing the Inside Sales Training, sales teams typically:

  • Establish strong skills for phone-based sales communication
  • Shorten inside sales cycles
  • More effectively respond to customer resistance
  • Generate more business
  • Create better customer relationships
  • Advance the inside sales process while focusing on key customer needs

We hired LSA to help align our sales strategy with our business strategy to sustain our hardware business while driving high growth in software and services. LSA’s ability to measure our level of strategic alignment, pinpoint areas of leverage, and get the entire executive sales team to agree upon what matters most exceeded our expectations.

I would recommend them to any sales leader who wants to drive sales performance.

From beginning to end, LSA was as invested in making sure the program succeeded as we were. They not only met the needs of our sales organization, but they helped us meet our very tight launch deadline.

The consultant operated with the sense of urgency necessary to ensure that we were ready to roll the business sales training program in a way that made sense.

Without their dedication and sales expertise we would not have been able to launch the program with the success that we did. Thank you LSA for being a valued business partner!

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.

However, through the leadership team interview and strategy retreat processes that LSA utilized, they provided a fresh, innovative, and practical perspective that created tremendous strategic value and focus for our executive leadership team.

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.
