Are you trying to find the right training for your team?

You probably can't find it because your team...
✔️ Already has a sales process
✔️ Already has people skills
✔️ Already does  discovery
✔️ Already has done sales training
So what's next?

Go from "selling" to Leading.

The best salespeople are not "sellers." Rather, they are Leaders.

Hear from other Alphas...

P.S. Alphas don't beat their chest. They show Empathy, Credibility, and Leadership and help their clients make  decisions. Alphas sell more by "selling" less.
"After Alpha training, there was an obvious increase in our team’s confidence and now they lead the sale without being 'salesy.'"
- Lee, VP of Sales Engineering
"Less is more. Our SAs and sellers now have a common framework for delivering more value in a shorter amount of time with clients."
- Ray, Director of Client Solutions

Alpha Presales Training

We don't teach presentations skills.

We teach leadership skills.



We teach engineers how to discover more, talk less and do less.

We use Behavioral Science, Storytelling, and Executive Messaging to help Sales Engineers close more deals with less activities.

Magnifying glass

Behavioral Science

Help engineers go from spending most of their time talking, to spending most of their time listening and digging for pain.
quotation marks

Storytelling

Help engineers go from saying "it depends" all the time, to telling short compelling stories.
human brain appearing smart

Executive Messaging

Help engineers go from over-explaining everything and boring the customer, to being clear and concise.
Multiple different paths

Leadership

Help engineers go from being doers that do what they're told, to leaders that help the customer make decisions faster.

Coaching

Presales training just never hits the mark. Technical training makes SEs competent engineers, but not competent salespeople. Then sales training is designed for AEs and the SEs tune out. Finally, presentation training only works when SEs are giving scripted demos. What about the 80% of their job that isn't scripted? InfluEar Coaching combines Improv, Technology, and Sales to help sales engineers remain confident and advance the sale.

Note: Every InfluEar Coaching engagement starts with an assessment to identify where your people are strongest and weakest. Then we come up with an individualized plan and we only train the weaknesses so that you get the most value in the least amount of time. Coaching isn't generic, it meets your SEs at their current skill level, and then elevates them so that new hires get better and so do your seasoned vets.

Sales Engineers are All-Stars that are smart, analytical, and helpful. But sometimes those skills hurt them...

SMART - They overdemo and show everything because they know everything
SMART - They overexplain and talk too much because they're good with words
ANALYTICAL - They're unemotional and detail-oriented, but their prospect isn't
HELPFUL - They solve the customer's problem instead of let them sit in pain

Sales Engineers don't need more training. They're already good at demos and POCs. They're just too smart for their buyers.

Book a call and teach them use their Big IQs to yield big W-2s.

• You lose deals because the competition is clearer
• You extend deals because presales takes too long
• Your CAC goes up which scares investors
• Your forecast blows up because presales is unpredictable

We teach, smart, analytical and helpful people to use their Big IQs to yield Bigger W-2s

We use a repeatable system to teach sales engineers Discovery, Brevity, Clarity, and Behavioral Sales so that your whole sales team wins. We have numerous workshops, here are the most popular ones.

Intelligently Dumbified

Who is it for? 
• New SEs and Tenured SEs
What is it for? 
• Brevity and Discovery
Why does it matter? 
• New SEs ramble. Tenured SEs talk too much. When SEs talk too much, you lose deals, that's why we teach them to talk less. This workshop uses math to teach SEs to talk half as much and get the prospect to talk twice as much. That advances deals.

Sales Love Languages

Who is it for? 
• Anyone in sales, especially
left-brain thinkers
What is it for? 
• Speeding up sales cycles
Why does it matter? 
• Most engineers think logically and sequentially. But most buyers don't. Assuming your prospect is like you kills deals. That’s why we use behavioral science to teach SEs how to start thinking like their prospect, so they can close deals faster.

The Audible

Who is it for? 
• Customer-facing SEs
What is it for? 
• Confidence
Why does it matter? 
• When SEs lose confidence, so do your AEs, and so do your prospects. Then prospects ask for POCs and follow-ups, and your ACV drops. We teach SEs how to remain confident in the moment, even when Enterprise Architects and CISOs are peppering them with questions.
