What's your favorite sales education resource?
There are a lot of great resources in the world for salespeople to learn how to be better at selling. What's your favorite one? There's no extra credit for sharing HubSpot resources--tell us about one we might not have heard of!
HubSpot Academy for me is the favorite sales education resource. It offers comprehensive, free courses on sales, inbound marketing, and CRM tools, making it an ideal platform for learning both foundational and advanced sales techniques.
Love this topic! One of my go-to resources is the podcast The Sales Hacker. It’s packed with actionable tips from real pros, and they cover everything from outreach to closing strategies. Definitely worth a listen if you haven’t checked it out yet.
The Sandler Worldwide YouTube channel is a constant resource for developing myself as a sales professional. The material is up to date and constantly being added to.
I am liking the HubSpot academy very much! I am using that as one of my main sources of education currently, and urging my team to do the same. Other than that, mostly YouTube, some books from Amazon, and podcasts on Spotifiy.
I am newer to sales resources, however I have a background in speech and debate, and alot of the theory taught through that is cross compatible with sales
"The Challenger Sale" by Matthew Dixon and Brent Adamson. This book offers a fresh perspective on sales strategies. It focuses on how salespeople can take control of the customer conversation, challenge their assumptions, and provide valuable insights that lead to better sales outcomes.
For me training and coaching go very well. Video courses are also great, but we should be careful to don't overdo on the bg song it gets very distracting, at least for me.
I think the book, "How To Win Friends and Influence People" is a great book for all sales people to read. It focuses on the customer/client, rather than the sales person and something good sales people do that bad sales people don't.
LinkedIn Learning or Salesforce Trailhead. LinkedIn Learning costs like $30 a month or so but Salesforce is free. LinkedIn has some outside company certifications (like Microsoft) that you can earn though. To earn actual certifications in Trailhead, you have to be proctored I believe.
