Corporate training companies · Sales process

Write down the steps from the first brief to the purchase order and the repeat batch.

A sales process for a corporate training company is the written order of steps from an HR head's first brief to a purchase order, a delivered programme and a repeat order. GullySales writes those steps with your sales head and lead trainers, so the person who wins the programme and the person who delivers it work from the same brief.

A trainer leads a practical workshop for office employees

What sales process means

A sales process is the fixed sequence of steps, such as enquiry, site visit, quote and order, that every deal is expected to pass through in the same order. GullySales writes this sequence down for your business and checks that every salesperson actually follows it.

For corporate training companies

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • “The proposal goes out before the problem is known”

    A buyer asks for a quote on communication skills and receives a standard deck. Nobody asked who attends, what went wrong last time or what the business head expects to change.

  • “Sales promises what the trainer has not agreed”

    A salesperson agrees a date, a batch size and an exercise on a call. The trainer who has to deliver hears about it on the evening before.

  • “Nobody owns the stretch after the verbal yes”

    Vendor forms, GST details, an agreement and a purchase order pass through procurement and finance at their own pace. A programme that was won can stall there, with no one chasing it.

What we do

What we deliver for corporate training companies.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. A needs-conversation sheet

    The questions asked before any quote: who attends, what they do now, what the business head wants changed, what was tried before and who approves.

    Result: Proposals answer the real problem.

  2. A proposal template buyers can forward

    Objectives, audience, outline, trainer profile, assessment, what the client provides and commercial terms laid out in the order an approver reads them.

    Result: The HR head sends it upward without rewriting it.

  3. A sales-to-trainer handover

    A one-page brief before delivery: participants, objectives, examples to use, the client's sensitivities and the contact for the day.

    Result: The trainer knows what sales agreed.

  4. A PO and vendor-paperwork checklist

    Registration forms, tax details, bank proof, agreement and PO number, tracked against the company with a named owner.

    Result: A won programme does not stall in paperwork.

  5. A delivery-day sheet

    Venue and equipment check, attendance sheet, feedback form and certificate list, completed by the trainer or coordinator.

    Result: The day runs the same way for every client.

  6. A record of where deals stop

    Each lost or stalled proposal marked at its step and reviewed with the sales head against the baseline taken before work starts.

    Result: You can see whether you lose at the quote, the demo or the paperwork.

How the result is measured

  • Deals following the process
  • Time spent at each step
  • Drop-off rate by step

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

Steps of a sale

Take every programme from the first brief to the repeat order in the same sequence.

Enquiry and brief
Record who asked, their role, the topic, headcount, city and wanted date. Ask what prompted the request and whether a budget is set before agreeing to prepare anything.
Needs conversation
Speak to the HR head, and where possible the business head who owns the problem. Ask what participants do today, what should change and what the last vendor did. Write the answers in the CRM.
Proposal and price sheet
Send the outline, trainer profile, assessment and commercial terms in the buyer's format. Record the version sent and who approved the figures.
Demo, pilot or trainer meeting
Offer a short session or a call with the trainer for larger programmes. Agree in writing what it covers and whether it is paid, then log the feedback from the HR head.
PO, vendor code and agreement
Collect the purchase order, vendor code and signed terms, and file the validity date. Chase missing paperwork, since a verbal yes does not pay.
Delivery, feedback and the next order
Use the delivery sheet, collect feedback and share a short summary with the HR head. Then ask what the next problem is and note who raised it.

Who it is for

This is written for these corporate training companies.

  • Soft skills and behavioural training firms
  • Leadership and manager development companies
  • Sales and customer service training firms
  • IT, software and technical skills trainers
  • Compliance and safety training providers
  • Shopfloor and supervisor training for manufacturers
  • Campus-to-corporate and fresher induction providers
  • Virtual and blended learning providers

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • Only one person sells and delivers, and they work from memory, so a written process would describe a habit nobody else follows yet.
  • Your programmes change with each client so much that no two proposals share a pattern, and there is nothing yet to put in a template.

How it works

How the sales process work runs

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

  1. 1

    Study current deal flow

    We trace how deals actually move today, comparing across reps and outcomes.

  2. 2

    Define the stages

    Clear stages and criteria are designed to match how deals genuinely progress and close.

  3. 3

    Configure the CRM

    The process is built into your CRM so it is enforced structurally, not just documented.

  4. 4

    Train the team

    Reps are trained on the new process and why each stage exists.

  5. 5

    Review adoption

    We check after rollout whether the process is being followed and adjust where it is not.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 1, prospecting and lead generation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.

  1. Step 1

    Sales audit

    Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.

    Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.

  2. Step 2 · you are here

    Sales process design

    One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. Step 3

    Sales management

    A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

    Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
Should the trainer or the salesperson run the needs conversation?
Both, if the programme is large. The salesperson keeps the commercial thread and the trainer hears the problem in the buyer's words. A call run by sales alone is where a promise nobody can keep is made.
Should we quote in the first email or after the call?
After the call, unless the buyer sends a fixed format and a closing date. A price sent blind becomes the figure procurement holds you to. If pushed, give a range and say what would move it.
Procurement wants the lowest rate per participant. What do we do?
Show the build of the figure: preparation, adaptation, trainer cost, materials and assessment, and what a lower rate removes. If they still choose on price alone, record the loss and stay in touch with the HR head who briefed you.
Should we run a free demo session before the order?
For a large or first-time client, a short paid pilot is fairer to both sides. If you do give a demo, agree its length and audience in writing, and ask for feedback from the HR head afterwards, so it moves the sale forward.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
