Top Rated Victory Lap Alternatives
I was first introduced to Victory Lap when I was actually recruiting for chicago software sales candidates in a previous role. Many of my candidates and tech clients had mentioned they were utilizing VL as a resource so when I was looking to transition out of my role in the recruitment industry I called them up. Not only were they extremely responsive, but they also changed the course of my sales career!
As an SDR/BDR candidate trying to stand out from the competition in the Chicago tech sales landscape, a VL education and stamp of approval is extremely valuable. Their model is extremely unique in the sense that it is 100% free for candidates but unlike other recruitment partners, there's a classroom-based education segment to prepare you for a career in sales. Topics ranged from cold calling, objection handling, interview prep, the psychology of sales, resume prep, pipeline building, email writing, etc.
After our training, hiring managers were invited in for a talent showcase and each candidate pitched their backgrounds. From there we worked in tandem with the Victory Lap team to set up first round phone interviews with their talent partners. I worked extremely close with Kevin during this interview process and he was extremely helpful in dissecting my thoughts post-interviews and ultimately helped me narrow down my options until I found the perfect fit.
Overall a very thorough process that I was extremely impressed.

The team is truly building a community of young, diverse sales professionals in the Chicagoland area. My cohort and I were extremely close and now we have friends at sales teams all around the city. We've helped each other become stronger sales professionals, share leads (extra bonus), and even are recommendations for each other during job interviews.
Since graduating from VL, I've come back monthly to participate in panel discussions for their most recent cohort and each time the candidates get better and better. I know VL is looking to really grow and engage their alumni community further, which I'm extremely excited about. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I attended Victory Lap's 6-part series, “Virtual Product Demos that Close Deals” and it was excellent. I wondered by how a virtual course over the course of 2 weeks but would work, but it certainly did!
Now, as an employer partner, working with Victory Lap has been even more impactful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
From a training perspective: Not only did I managed to sandwich it between the workday effectively, I came away with a ton of real-world examples and knowledge nuggets I began applying hours later. Brian and his team's conversational approach, practical examples and break-out formats create an inclusive environment for all to share, learn and build on together. Highly recommend Victory Lap for any sales pro no matter if you are just starting out or have many years of experience under your belt.
From a hiring perspective: Victory Lap tailors your process with their candidates to find ideal matches for your organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I completed the Virtual Product Demos that Close Deals course via teleconference. I'm in the beginning stages of transitioning from the BDR to AE role and Victory Lap came highly recommended to me to learn best practices from a community of experienced professionals.

The lessons were structured to build on the last session. There were breakout groups every session where lively discussions took place among sales professionals of varying levels of experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I attended 2 virtual sales boot camps, Sales Prospecting Strategies and Virtual Product Demos that Close Deals hosted by Brian and Keegan. With the course content and the knowledge I gained from them and everyone in the group, I am positive it will help me in my sales career. Would 100% take it again.

They broke the training into 6 steps that build on each other. I have already put into place the structure we went over and have seen immediate improvements in my demos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
A member of my team and I recently attended a sales training course together with Victory Lap, focused on giving more effective demos. As a participant in the course, there were a number of tactics I learned that will make me better. As the manager of a participant, the nightly recaps and recommended discussion topics showed me clearly how I could use VL training in the future to rapidly skill-up my team without me being involved in each class. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Each night I received a recap of the session that my team member attended along with some suggested discussion topics and questions. Since I also chose to attend this course myself, I really liked the efficiency. VL combined written resources with lecture-style learning, discussion, and individual + group exercises. The course was completed over 6 days spread across 2 weeks at lunchtime, making it really easy to fit into a busy schedule. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I took two training courses with Victory Lap - Sales Bootcamp and Sales Prospecting.
I am looking for a job opportunities through Victory Lap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
People at Victory Lap are very passionate about educating people on how to be successful in sales. During those two training courses, I was able to learn so much and was able to share my ideas in a very collaborative environment. I would recommend Victory Lap to anyone who are passionate about improving skill sets as well as themselves and keep the learning going.
On the job searching side of Victory Lap, everyone is very passionate to find candidates not only a great job but a job that fits individual candidates. When I was going through the initial interview process, they were very curious to see what my goals were and things I look for in a company. Also, when Coronavirus broke out, they were very honest with the situations in terms of what the candidates should be expecting. After seeing that, I realized that people at Victory Lap genuinely care about everyone that cross path with them.
I cannot say enough good things about Victory Lap! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
In six guided sessions Victory Lap provided a platform for our class to share and learn about our struggles and strengths while prospecting in sales. Using breakout rooms we were given the chance to have smaller discussions and really dig in. Brian and Keegan are positive and experienced and you feel captivated while listening to their stories and advice. I loved everything about this training and will continue to look for more from Victory Lap as I always leave with a get it done attitude. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I’ve been apart of two training courses through Victory Lap and both were done via Zoom. It felt completely normal and didn’t hinder the learning experience at all. It always feels real and genuine from both Brian and Keegan. It isn’t cookie cutter and while still being structured class sessions they allowed the conversation to direct what we as students were experiencing in real time. Six session flew by!

I attended a two week, six session course on Outbound Prospecting with Victory Lap. Not only did the Victory Lap team share valuable insights from their personal experience as sales professionals and sales trainers, but the break out sessions that allow you to share ideas and learn from your peers within other industries was absolutely invaluable.

Hands down, my favorite part of the Victory Lap training was the breakout rooms which allowed me to share ideas and learn from peers within other industries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Followed the online/remote VIRTUAL PRODUCT DEMOS THAT CLOSE DEALS from Belgium, during Covid19-confinement.
The title and format got me hooked, as it fits with the product we have (that gets demo'd). The first class got me excited!
I was looking forward to learning about pitfalls during sales meetings (as someone with a non-commercial background), and the best ways to present something while selling -as you're not there just to present your product; it has to get sold! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I loved the breakout rooms (peer learning) and daily key takeaways everybody shares at the end of class.
The build (presentation, hosts, format) and timeline of the classes was very clear and made me eager to follow the next class.
The class preparation and recaps we receive per mail make it easy to get ready for the next session and know what the expect, or even prepare (a question or topic to think about for example). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I took the Sales and prospecting strategies training that they were offering and as someone learning to prepare for the industry from a startup perspective, a lot of it was theoretical. I found myself getting consistently more results when I was asking for informational interviews during my job search process by implementing the strategies Victory Lap taught me. It was truly fulfilling to see! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The focus on being human, not being a nuisance and ultimately being extremely intentional about each contact I make and knowing what I will do 5 steps after that outreach attempt. Definitely made me think strategically about what I was hoping for with my outreach and all my actions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I've been job hunting for the past four months. This class not only gave me insight on how to be most effective in sales but it provided me with techniques that I could apply to my job search as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
