The experience was both insightful and practical. The sessions were dynamic, well-structured, and full of real-life sales examples that made the content easy to relate to and apply. The trainers were knowledgeable and engaging, and the atmosphere encouraged open discussion and sharing. I especially appreciated the focus on actionable strategies and the opportunity to reflect on my own sales approach. Be prepared for a fast-paced learning environment – a lot of valuable information is shared in a short time, so staying focused is key. Overall, it was a very positive and motivating experience that I believe will have a lasting impact on my professional development. **What problems is RAIN Group solving and how is that benefiting you?** I spent two days with David. We were a group of about 20 colleagues. These two days went by very quickly, and it was fun, nice, and a pleasure for me to be there. I talked and discussed real sales stories. ### 2.

The reinforcement of the learning through the Rain Mail component has helped to further embed the learnings. **What do you dislike about RAIN Group?** There were no downsides as all training and development investment in me is greatly appreciated.

His energy, genuine passion for what he does, enthusiastic personality, and ability to make you feel comfortable are all examples of why this was such a pleasant experience. **What do you dislike about RAIN Group?** Long days regardless of training material/instructor, can make it difficult to stay focused.

Suzy is brilliant and easy to listen to. All topics are well selected and presented. I always enjoy her training sessions and consider this a real benefit to my professional development. **What do you dislike about RAIN Group?** There are no downsides in using RAIN Group **Recommendations to others considering RAIN Group:** Try a good training tutor from RAIN Group and see the difference with what you have been used to receiving in the past.

I had several training sessions on negotiations, extreme productivity, business development and sales. It has substantially benefited my career development and level of skills I could use in my day to day work with clients and colleagues. ### 20. A dynamic sales boot camp in real time with the RIGHT sales knowhow in real-time **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** 🛒🚚💬Martin P. | Pre-sales and Business Development - Major Markets (CPG & Distribution), Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 15, 2023 **What do you like best about RAIN Group?** Rain Group delivers a very convenient and efficient course that doesn't take up much of your time during work hours but is packed with just the correct information needed to get up and running into nurturing the right relationship with the client. I like the physical workshops and discussions the most David O'Neill, the facilitator, really preprogrammed our way of thinking with his two-way conversations and case examples. **What do you dislike about RAIN Group?** One of the probable drawbacks is that virtual sessions (although helpful) could have been more physical, as I find the physical presence of the RAIN Group Facilitator more effective in a face-to-face set-up, especially with the exercises that were to be done in groups. Technology does fail us from time to time. **Recommendations to others considering RAIN Group:** Although there is a saying that you cannot take shortcuts in life, in this case, RAIN group shows you in a more quick, efficient and effective way the proper methods that have been tried and tested and truly work in achieving the desired ROI in Sales and Consultation with Clients. **What problems is RAIN Group solving and how is that benefiting you?** Rain group helped me reframe and change my way of thinking on how to approach my clients as an invaluable partner with the right SMART insights than a salesman with an end goal of making only a profit. Rain Group taught me to identify my clients well in advance with the different methods preferred by each of them when communicating and nurturing a relationship that would last longer than the sales cycle's end. It changed my whole way of thinking and approach, delivering results over a more extended period. ### 21. Strategic Account Growth Accountability Exemplified **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Annmarie K. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 22, 2023 **What do you like best about RAIN Group?** The Rain Group training has equipped my account management team to strategically approach accounts by utilizing Value Labs to engage in highly productive and collaborative structured problem solving that allows each team member to provide input resulting in action plans where they are held accountable for results. **What do you dislike about RAIN Group?** I found the Rain Group virtual training very beneficial and would have also liked to participate in an in person training as well. **Recommendations to others considering RAIN Group:** The Rain Group training will elevate your account management team's mindset by incorporating strategic account plans, while fostering internal cross team collaboration to collectively identify opportunities for further growth of client accounts. **What problems is RAIN Group solving and how is that benefiting you?** Through the RAIN Group training our account team is now equipped with the right questions to guide meaningful conversations that resonate and demonstrate value from the client's perspective which has resulted in strengthening our relationship to that of an essential trusted partner. ### 22. Focused and Effective **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Parker J. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 09, 2023 **What do you like best about RAIN Group?** This program took a lot of real-world hurdles that salespeople see every day and provided a detailed action plan for handling them and getting past objections that can stall the sales process. I enjoyed how each section took different problems and complaints we see in the field often apart and explained why they exist and how to work through them efficiently. **What do you dislike about RAIN Group?** Overall I do not have many critiques. The videos were easy to follow, and the forms provided were helpful. I have used them to organize sales calls since. The time it took away from prime selling hours was a sacrifice, but I know it will be worth it in the long run. **Recommendations to others considering RAIN Group:** This training is not a "hurry up and check a box" program. If you take time each week to digest the information and put some of the topics from the modules into practice, you will see your process become more organized and methodical. If you try to rush through each week and ignore the new tips from the program, the time spent will not be worth it, and your process will not improve. **What problems is RAIN Group solving and how is that benefiting you?** Prospecting and getting to know new clients quickly is always an uphill battle. Customers are doing more of their own research now and coming to salespeople with a lot of knowledge. This program helped shape my approach when starting a new project with a new customer and genuinely focusing on showing the value I can bring to their business vs. just discussing the products I sell. ### 23. My learning journey with RAIN Group **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Myria H. | Inside Sales Representative, Information Technology and Services, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 24, 2023 **What do you like best about RAIN Group?** The platform with lots of videos and PDFs, Sheets and other formats to help yourself in your self-learning journey. Everything is easily accessible, in a literal sense. They also offer you many other languages as a subtitle for your videos. The trainer that we had in person also helped a lot in helping us and giving us feedback to our way of working, without being condescending at all. **What do you dislike about RAIN Group?** The pricing is a little bit on the higher side, which is understandable, given the work that was done to build the whole platform. But it might be a little bit hard to afford for smaller companies to educate their worker. **What problems is RAIN Group solving and how is that benefiting you?** As a sales person with no prior knowledge about sales and how it works, RAIN Group has helped me to not only believe in myself more, but also to be more knowledgable in, not only the sales process and sales itself, also the whole emotional and human aspect of sales. I didn't know that it was possible to be human when you're a seller, turns out it is actually all about it! ### 24. Creating new way of sale to have sucess **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Roberto T. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 27, 2023 **What do you like best about RAIN Group?** The way that this Training course was done. Firstly understanding the purchaser mindset and how to be atractive to them. **What do you dislike about RAIN Group?** Unfortunately my english is not 100% and then I didn´t enjoy 100% , any way it put in my mind , but triggered some points to move on. **Recommendations to others considering RAIN Group:** I don´t know the Rain Territory, but would be great if we had a training course as this one in Spanish. In Portuguese I understand that woud be complicated. **What problems is RAIN Group solving and how is that benefiting you?** Understanding the way that we buy, every time we have been taking a decision to buy , but usually we don´t stop and wonder about. In this Traning course I understand the decisions to buy have part of them are rational and part of it emotional. And ### 25. Looking for a needle in a haystack **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Christian R. | Head of Inside Sales, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 30, 2023 **What do you like best about RAIN Group?** In 33 years, I have met many sales trainers, coaching companies and techniques.... Especially in the last years, it was always "old wine in new bottles". I was also emotionally pleased and professionally surprised that the staff of the RAIN Group has taught new and both market and timely methods and techniques. In addition, there is what I consider to be the proper dosage of learning content so that employees can maintain a healthy work-life balance. An additional plus is short distances in coordination, the highest flexibility in personalization per employee and the pronounced intrinsic motivation of RAIN colleagues. **What do you dislike about RAIN Group?** Believe it or not, I have not found any disadvantages in working with RAIN Group. And let's face it: quality has its price. **Recommendations to others considering RAIN Group:** Yes, there are cheaper coaching agencies on the international market - but this is the big difference between "cheap" and "inexpensive": cheap saves investment costs at first, but in the medium term, it catches up with you again because the results are not there. Inexpensive means that the medium- and long-term effects are significantly higher than the initial investment. **What problems is RAIN Group solving and how is that benefiting you?** A year ago, we - a large, German, consulting company - established an inside sales division. The challenge for us was to develop both technical and sales skills while at the same time imparting a market- and customer-oriented mindset. While it was relatively easy for us to impart IT knowledge and industry expertise, we were blanketed in terms of mindset and sales skills. Thanks to RAIN Group, we were able to make realistic progress here in a clearly defined period of time, which is not just the usual and short-term motivation boost, but has a lasting effect on the employees. ### 26. Amazing Sessions with RAIN Group **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Sylvia C. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 20, 2023 **What do you like best about RAIN Group?** Rain Group sessions are engaging, and all the topics and guidance are relevant to personal and professional development. Suzy Berry from the RAIN Group is excellent. She ensures all the groups are interacting and engaged! **What do you dislike about RAIN Group?** There is no downside to the Rain Group sessions. **Recommendations to others considering RAIN Group:** The training sessions will take time to implement changes in your life. Small changes will make a difference! **What problems is RAIN Group solving and how is that benefiting you?** RAIN Extreme Productivity Training Coaching Session - setting you up for success. I receive guidance from the sessions and implement these into my day-to-day life (i.e., personal and professional development). Since the session, it has increased my efficiency and effectiveness. The sessions helped me track my progress through the weekly targets, meeting with accountability partners and catch-ups with the training facilitator Suzy Berry. ### 27. Rain Group Training **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** kyle r. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 20, 2023 **What do you like best about RAIN Group?** I liked best the interaction among the participating classes I also enjoyed the breakout sessions which was condusive for free thinking and brain storming **What do you dislike about RAIN Group?** I think the only real thing that was not as helpful was the fact that there wasnt a huge understanding of the industry but eventually through work sheets and conversation, the understanding became better. **Recommendations to others considering RAIN Group:** Take a long look at your sales force and see what problems you have among the force and the problems that arise with buyers. This program designed to help with those selling solutions could really benefit your company. **What problems is RAIN Group solving and how is that benefiting you?** I believe the rain group training allowed those participating to become more insightful sellers and thinkers to create solutions to problems specific to our industry ### 28.

However, it is sometimes very confusing to use. Unfortunately, you can never see exactly how you are progressing. For example: Viewed lessons and videos can only be seen in the playback window. **Recommendations to others considering RAIN Group:** I was extremely enthusiastic about our trainer Susie. She really enriched the learning with her open and humorous manner. I can warmly recommend a training with her to everyone. **What problems is RAIN Group solving and how is that benefiting you?** I had the opportunity to get to know the RAIN Group during the multi-day sales training.

I am impressed by their 360-degree approach and ongoing engagement. **What do you dislike about RAIN Group?** There is limited case study.

Worked Together to Create a Framework of Techniques to Help Grow Myself and My Organization **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Brett J. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 28, 2023 **What do you like best about RAIN Group?** RAIN Group was very successful in engaging members and encouraging participation by everyone. Small break-out sessions helped members feel more comfortable participating than when in front of a large group. **What do you dislike about RAIN Group?** I didn't experience any downsides working with RAIN Group. The duration of our training went very quickly, and often we were short on time during our weekly meetings. **What problems is RAIN Group solving and how is that benefiting you?** The industry my organization is in hasn't evolved much until recently.
