Why is Sales for Non-Sales People Training important?

Many of your team members are closer to your customers than your sales team — but they often don’t realise the commercial influence they hold.

Whether it’s consultants, project managers, customer success leads or technical experts, these roles build trust and insight daily. But when commercial opportunities arise, they hesitate. They fear being too pushy, or feel unsure how to start the conversation.

This training helps non-sales professionals understand that selling isn’t about pressure — it’s about uncovering need, solving problems, and creating value. And most importantly, it shows how to do this in collaboration with your Sales team — not in competition with them.

With the right mindset, simple tools, and stronger cross-functional alignment, your whole customer-facing organisation can work together to support growth, retention, and expansion.

Benefits of Sales for Non-Sales People Training

  • Strengthen collaboration between delivery, success, and Sales

  • Equip teams to reinforce value during delivery and client conversations
  • Create a more joined-up approach to account growth and retention

How Sales for Non-Sales People helps teams solve these common challenges

  • Team members avoid commercial conversations for fear of being “pushy”
  • Opportunities are missed because no one asks the right questions
  • Sales is seen as a separate function — not a shared outcome
  • Handoffs between Sales and delivery lack continuity or momentum
  • Growth relies too heavily on individual salespeople
  • Value isn’t consistently reinforced after the initial sale

Before this, Sales felt like something separate from what we did. Now we see where we fit, how to spot commercial conversations, and how to support the sales team without changing who we are.

What truly sets Tim apart is his undeniable passion for helping people. It was evident in every interaction we had. His genuine desire to see me succeed supported my motivation and inspired me to make a change. I am very lucky to have worked with Tim. His guidance has been instrumental in my development.

Sales for Non-Sales People is part of the wider sales transformation approach

This training is about more than confidence — it’s about connection. We help non-sales professionals become commercially aware and aligned with the formal Sales function. That means shared language, shared ownership, and shared outcomes.

Whether you’re a growing SaaS company, a consulting firm, or a services-led business, we help bridge the gap between sales and delivery, creating smoother handovers, more proactive collaboration, and better outcomes for both the customer and the business.

Training can be delivered as a standalone programme — or embedded as part of a wider commercial transformation initiative that includes Sales, Customer Success, and Account Management teams.

FAQs

Who is this training for?

Anyone in a customer-facing or revenue-influencing role who isn’t in formal sales — including consultants, delivery leads, project managers, CSMs, account managers, and solution engineers.

Is this just basic sales training?

No — this is tailored for non-sales professionals. It focuses on real-life scenarios, business conversations, and commercial confidence — not traditional sales techniques or targets.

How does this align with the Sales team?

We demonstrate how non-sales roles can support the Sales team — not replace them — by identifying opportunities, reinforcing value, and fostering stronger customer partnerships. The result is better handoffs, better insight sharing, and more coordinated growth.

Do you customise it for our business or sector?

Yes. We tailor the content and examples to your business model, customer types, and commercial culture — whether you’re SaaS, services, or consulting-led.

Is this about making non-sales teams hit revenue targets?

Not directly. It’s about helping them support growth through better conversations, smarter handoffs, and shared accountability — all without losing sight of their primary role or expertise.

How long is the training?

We offer flexible formats — from half-day sessions to multi-module programmes with optional coaching. It depends on your goals, team size, and the level of behaviour change you want to drive.

Can Sales leaders or managers be involved?

Yes — and we encourage it. Involving sales leaders builds trust, reinforces alignment, and helps everyone speak the same commercial language. We can also run joint sessions where appropriate.

How do we measure success?

Outcomes can include increased opportunity referrals, improved collaboration, stronger renewal signals, and greater commercial confidence across teams. We’ll work with you to define the right measures.

Can this be part of a wider culture shift?

Yes. This is often the first step in creating a truly cross-functional commercial culture — where sales, delivery, success, and strategy work together to retain and grow revenue.
