About the Instructor

Founder, Software Sales School

Gregg Nichols

Selling Software Isn't a "Transferable Skill." You can't succeed in B2B software sales using GENERIC SKILLS picked up from retail, insurance, finance, industrial, pharma, or publishing. The combination of product uniqueness, sales complexity, and continuous service requirements makes B2B software sales SUPREMELY CHALLENGING. Additionally, software is integral to today's business operations. No company can exist without it. That makes the B2B software seller STRATEGICALLY IMPORTANT to their customers. Conversely, almost no one provides proven frameworks and dedicated training for B2B software sellers. It is the LEAST SUPPORTED sales role in the field.This tension between great challenge, high importance, and low support makes B2B software sales highly prone to failure. Unmatched Expertise in B2B Software SalesSoftware Sales School trains customer-facing B2B software professionals to excel in this harshest and most misunderstood selling environment. I'm Gregg Nichols. As Founder of Software Sales School, I bring you unmatched expertise in business software sales. I’ve built REVENUE GENERATION ENGINES for 25 years. In that time, I’ve: ** Led sales, marketing, AND services groups ** Produced results in ALL FOUR STAGES of the sales funnel ** Trained HUNDREDS of sales, marketing, and consulting professionals And UNLIKE every other sales writer, sales trainer, and sales leader out there… I did ALL OF IT in the B2B SOFTWARE business. I can give you the guidance your business needs at every phase of your growth. I know what it takes to make customers successful with software and turn them into lifelong, repeat accounts.
