The B2B sales training program template
Seven modules built around the reality of complex selling: many stakeholders, a long cycle, and a business case that has to survive procurement. Run the full set during onboarding, then reinforce through deal reviews.
| Module | Audience | Duration | What it must cover |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. B2B buying and the stakeholder map | New reps | 35 min | How committees buy, mapping economic buyer, champion, users and blockers, and finding the gaps. |
| 2. Account research and ICP fit | All reps | 30 min | Researching an account, qualifying fit, and building a target account list worth the effort. |
| 3. Multi-threaded discovery | All reps | 45 min | Running discovery across several stakeholders and connecting each one's pain to the deal. |
| 4. Business case and ROI | All reps | 45 min | Quantifying value, building an ROI model, and a business case the buyer can defend to the CFO. |
| 5. Procurement and security review | Closing reps | 30 min | Planning for procurement, legal and security review so a won deal does not die in paperwork. |
| 6. Multi-stakeholder objections | All reps | 35 min | Handling objections from different roles, no budget, no urgency, and the do-nothing option. |
| 7. Mutual action plans and closing | Closing reps | 40 min | Building a mutual action plan, driving to signature, and keeping momentum across the committee. |
Delivering certification and the recorded business-case pitch through an LMS gives you dated, scored completion per rep and per team, so a leader can see who is ready to run a six-figure, multi-stakeholder deal.
The rep ramp checklist
Ten steps to take a B2B rep from day one to a live mutual action plan. Tick items to track a rep's ramp, it stays in this browser. The download has the same list with an owner and a target-date column.

The step most teams skip is the stakeholder map. A deal with one contact and no named economic buyer is not a deal, it is a hope, and it is the first to slip when priorities change.
Team competency at a glance
The ramp checklist tells you whether a rep finished onboarding. This matrix tells you which teams can actually run a complex deal. Score every team on the five skills that decide B2B outcomes. In Excel the readiness and gaps calculate as you type.
| Team | Reps | Stakeholder map | Discovery | Business case | Multi-thread | Closing | Ready |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Enterprise AE | 12 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 100% |
| Strategic accounts | 8 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 80% |
| Mid-market AE | 20 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 60% |
| SMB AE | 26 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 50% |
| New reps (0 to 90 days) | 7 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 20% |
| Coverage at required | 40% | 60% | 20% | 40% | 40% | 62% |
The exposure here is the business case. SMB reps and new reps score zero, so deals reach the CFO with value nobody can defend, and a strong champion cannot save a case procurement can pick apart.

How to run it
- Baseline current proficiency
Score each rep on the B2B competencies before training, especially stakeholder mapping and business case.
- Set ramp milestones for a long cycle
Stakeholder mapping by week two, a defensible ROI case by week four, a live mutual action plan by day 90.
- Certify on discovery and the business case
Gate reps on a recorded multi-threaded discovery and a business case they can defend to a CFO.
- Drill with real deal reviews
Use live opportunities in coaching, checking the stakeholder map and next steps, not just stage.
- Score competency by rep and team
Roll it up per team so a weakness in multi-threading or ROI is visible before a big deal stalls.
- Review pipeline and coaching monthly
Competency scores, single-threaded deals, business-case quality and win rate, reviewed every month.
Disprz customers see up to 8X training ROI.
Common mistakes this pack prevents
- Single-threaded deals with one friendly contact and no named economic buyer.
- A business case the rep believes but the buyer cannot defend to the CFO.
- Treating B2B like a fast transactional sale, then losing the deal in procurement.
- A company-wide onboarding tick that hides reps who cannot map a buying committee.
- No competency scoring, so coaching misses the reps whose big deals keep stalling.
