What do you like best about RAIN Group?

Neil Wood is the best part of my experience with RAIN Group. 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RAIN Group?

Long days regardless of training material/instructor, can make it difficult to stay focused. Neil recognized that however and adjusted afternoons accordingly which was much appreciated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is RAIN Group solving and how is that benefiting you?

RAIN group has designed a program that helps customers/advisors like our group understand areas of improvement in our day-to-day practice. These areas of improvement include mastering the client discovery process, which leads to a better experience for the client and better overall productivity for us as advisors. Their program helps advisors understand what clients are looking for and what they value, leading to a win for both the client and advisor.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.
