“We engaged LSA Global to help improve the value selling competencies of our sales channel partners.  While much still has to be accomplished in terms of sales performance coaching and creating a high performance sales culture, I am delighted by how much of the customized solution selling training is being consistently used and the impact that it is having in the field.”

“We turned to LSA Global’s solution selling training program 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 sales training.  I recommend them to any organization looking to transform its sales force the “right way” to sell smarter, higher and wider.”

B2B sales is not what it used to be. Salespeople are facing more decision makers who are better informed and have higher expectations.   As a result, sellers must change the way they sell.  Sadly, recent Accenture research found that 73% of sales forces are pushing solutions without first understanding or addressing their customers’ key problems.

  • Are revenue, pricing, and competitor pressures increasing?
  • Would you like to move up the value chain by selling solutions instead of products?
  • Has the complexity of your offering changed?
  • Is it important to drive larger deal sizes?
  • Would you like to add more value for your customers during the sales process?
  • Are your sales cycles too long?
  • Are your sales people working too hard and chasing too many “bad” deals?

We originally engaged with LSA Global to help our subcontract administrators and buyers develop better negotiations skills. As manufacturers of satellites, we have many sole source companies to procure the required parts.

Our teams must be able to interact effectively with international companies. This environment uniquely challenges our team in their ability to create equitable contracts, while preserving and strengthening our supplier relationships.

LSA Global not only provided our team with the skills to negotiate effectively and consistently, but we further expanded our relationship to include consulting around our negotiations’ process, measurement of our negotiations, and one-on-one coaching for our team members. We are very pleased with the result of our partnership with LSA Global.

This insight allowed LSA to deliver customized and impactful business sales training workshops which were adapted to reflect our specific business dynamics and provided our employees with the sales models and tools to leverage on every call with customers.

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.

FAQs

Solution selling training teaches sales professionals how to identify customer challenges, uncover business needs, and position solutions that solve meaningful problems rather than simply pitching products or services. This approach is important because modern buyers expect sales conversations to focus on business outcomes, strategic priorities, and measurable value. Organizations that adopt solution selling improve win rates, increase customer trust, and shorten sales cycles.

Solution selling training is especially effective for: B2B sales teams, Account managers, Business development professionals, Sales leaders and managers, Client-facing consultants, and Technical sales professionals who need to sell complex solutions rather than transactional and stand-alone products. It is particularly valuable in complex sales environments where multiple stakeholders, long sales cycles, and consultative conversations influence purchasing decisions.

High-impact solution selling training programs typically strengthen the ability to: Conduct strategic discovery conversations, Ask insightful business questions, Identify customer pain points, Align solutions with business objectives, Build executive-level credibility, Handle objections effectively, Quantify business value, and Differentiate from competitors. Effective programs include targeted sales simulation assessments, coaching, role-playing, AI support, microlearning, and real-world sales application exercises to reinforce long-term behavior change.

Traditional sales training often puts the seller first by emphasizing product features, scripted pitches, and closing techniques. Solution selling takes a more customer-centric approach by focusing on diagnosing business problems and delivering tailored recommendations. Instead of asking: “How do we sell this product?” Solution sellers ask: “What business challenge is the customer trying to solve and can we best help them?” This shift helps create more meaningful client conversations and stronger long-term relationships.

Effective sales training creates alignment, accountability, commitment, and reinforcement through sales training measurement. Organizations typically evaluate solution selling training success by measuring skill adoption rates corelated to measurable business outcomes such as: Increased sales revenue, Higher conversion rates, Improved average deal size, Better customer retention, Stronger sales pipeline quality, Shorter sales cycles, or Increased quota attainment. Leading organizations also track behavioral indicators such as frequency of sales coaching, improved discovery conversations, stronger account planning, and greater consistency across sales teams.
