RAIN Group Sales Training Likes & Dislikes

Like

What stands out the most is the strong focus on customer-centric selling and value-based conversations. The frameworks and tools provided are easy to understand and apply, especially in complex sales environments. The emphasis on asking the right questions and building meaningful client relationships is particularly valuable.

Like

I like how it makes you think outside of the box when working with opportunities.

Like

I like how it was fast paced and on topic training. It wasn't just normal textbook sales 101, but real tools to use, conversations, and it was fun. Sales is fun and this class was that, but also transferable to daily occurrences.

Dislike

At times, the pace of the sessions can feel a bit dense, especially when covering multiple frameworks in a short period. Some modules could benefit from additional time for practice and reinforcement to ensure deeper absorption of the concepts.

Dislike

I do not like the extra paperwork, I feel like this is blue sheets all over again it is hard enough to maintain SFDC.

Dislike

The only thing I find I find difficult is online training. I truly thrive off in-person or virtual meeting situations. This may not be a problem for others, but to me personable coaching is key. I also didn't like that there was no conversation about what happens outside of the business meeting. It would be helpful to have more guidance on business dinners, events, and after-hours interactions. Maybe even an etiquette dinner class to really elevate the full experience and understand how to conduct yourself professionally from start to finish.

    Course Structure Encourages Engagement But Lacks Guidance On Professional Social Etiquette

    5.0
    Apr 7, 2026
    I found the instructor and content to be relevant, applicable, and engaging. The structure of the course allowed for ample breaks throughout to keep from being bored and distracted. The leader, was very affable and engaging with our team. She was able to understand our structure, business, and problems very quickly and adapt the training to our needs and real life conversation. And now we have been following through with the training during virtual meet ups in smaller individual cohorts, which has allowed us to bring real life day-to-day problems and scenarios to the forefront.

    RAIN has provided Value Based Selling to my organization. The RAIN team quickly learned our company's business and nomenclature to connect with our selling organization and provide meaningful content. The training website is filled with content and background information to support adoption and improvements in sellers' skill tree.
