Software sales training teaches reps to sell into a buying group where the person who'll use the product and the person who signs for it are rarely the same person, and often don't agree.
SBI customizes the program to your product and the deals your reps are working.
Software sales training is skills development for reps selling technology into multi-stakeholder evaluations. It covers discovery with technical and economic buyers, running a proof of concept that closes instead of drifting, building a business case procurement will sign, and growing revenue after the first contract.
Four people, one deal, four different reasons to say no. That's the shape of the problem, and it's why generic selling skills stall in software.
Why selling software is different
A software deal runs through people who each have their own reason to stop it. A technical evaluator decides whether it works. An economic buyer decides whether it's worth the money. Security or procurement can veto either of them. And a champion has to carry the case internally after your call ends.
Then there's the proof of concept, where most stalled software deals die. A POC with no success criteria agreed up front turns into an open-ended science project, and the rep finds out in month four that nobody ever defined what winning looked like.
The deal doesn't end at signature either. In a land-and-expand motion the first contract is the smallest one you'll write, assuming the team knows how to grow it.
Software and technology teams we've trained
SBI has trained sales teams at RingCentral, FactSet, Avvo and Renaissance Learning. Their case studies are published on the sales training results page.
RingCentral
Our instructor took the time, in advance, to interview people at RingCentral and customize the case studies to fit our audience.

Programs for software sales teams
Six programs apply directly to a software motion. Each one gets customized to your product before delivery.
Frontline managers are where software training either sticks or evaporates. A rep who learns a new discovery model and then runs a pipeline review with a manager who only asks for close dates will revert inside a quarter.
Nothing arrives off the shelf. Before the first session we interview your reps, read your deals and rebuild every exercise around your product, your competitive set and the objections your team actually hears.
That's the step that decides whether software sellers take the program seriously. Technical buyers can smell a generic case study, and so can the reps selling to them. Named to Selling Power's Top Sales Training Companies list for 16 consecutive years as of 2026.
Delivery formats
Live online, in person, or a digital blend spread across several weeks. All three include customization before delivery and reinforcement after it.
SBI’s live virtual instructor-led training programs offer effective, affordable, and convenient skills-based sales and management training for companies looking to improve their sales performance.
Digital blended sales training combines self-paced online learning with live practice, so skills transfer to the job instead of staying in a workbook. SBI's Collaborative Learning Experience (CLX) delivers this blend for sales teams that can't pull everyone into a classroom at once.
