Sales Academy Training

I've been following Josh Braun on LinkedIn and saw that he has a B2B Growth Academy for only $197. It looks tempting, has anyone here done it and if so, was it worth it?

Also, I know Jed Mahrle (PandaDoc) has a paid version of his newsletter with a SalesNav course, also looks tempting.

No. If that money is burning a hole in your pocket then I'll send you my Venmo.

Josh Braun should pay you for mental anguish of following him. Check out Never split the difference from the library and save yourself the money.

I can guarantee you there is nothing he could teach you about sales that you aren't getting here.

And I have no idea who Jed Mahrle is, but if he's charging people to teach them how to use sales navigator he should be in jail.

Ok I had to look this fool up. He's got <3 years experience as an SDR and he has the gaul to think he can charge people for his wisdom?

What do you want to know about sales nav?

You think he hacked sales nav? Go on YouTube and search for: sales navigator tips SDR
There is no secret to sales nav. If you spend 30 minutes putzing around with it and watching YouTube you'll find everything there is to know.

Save your money on MEDDICC training, I did a whole write up and posted it here a few months ago. Should be able to find it by clicking my name

Really? These people on LinkedIn seem like they know their stuff. I’ve only been an SDR for 10 months so I’m still a puppy.

News flash, most of these people were SDRs for 12 months, couldn't cut it, and decided to become "influencers". Check their resume.

You'll learn more here or asking your peers than through those jabronis. Trust me on this.

Really?! I always thought most of them were the best. I like the 30 minutes to president’s club podcast, that’s good right?

30mpc is a great resource. Key difference is it's free.

Are most paid trainings a waste of time? Like should I get MEDDIC certified?

Ok you're just trolling me now aren't you?

Never pay for sales training out of pocket. Your company should be providing it directly or giving you a stipend to pay for your own.

Moreover, you have the wisdom of 1,000s of salespeople here who can give you advice on any topic under the sun, no matter how esoteric. And Bravado pays YOU to ask!!!

Nooo I’m not trolling you I promise!
You’re making great points actually. I’ll def look up pointers here and of course ask pros like you.

Call me what you want, just sign the damn contract

You can learn plenty without the trainings. Is there a specific area you’re looking to improve? If not, pick one and start to work on that. Then do the next thing and so on.

I did actually did buy Josh Braun's course last year.(thankfully company paid for it)

If you are brand new to prospecting, it will give you a solid foundation to how to do out reach.

But honestly. if you follow him on Linked in and just take notes.....no need to buy the course.
