Management Team

Led by Top Enterprise Sales Closers

Accelerain Training is run by sales leaders who were top 1% performers before they became trainers. We have closed hundreds of deals with the Fortune 1000 C-suite, built fast-growing companies, and trained sales teams of 100+ reps.

Who leads Accelerain Training?

Accelerain Training is led by Founder & CEO Andrew Frank, a former Morgan Stanley and BMO Capital Markets professional with degrees from Brown University and UCLA Anderson, and a team of former top 1% sellers from firms including CEB (now Gartner) and Citigroup. The team has trained sales organizations of 100+ reps and built the 22-skill Accelerain Method.

Andrew Frank founded Accelerain Training to teach the system that made him and his colleagues top performers. He built his career at Morgan Stanley and BMO Capital Markets, where winning meant earning the trust of senior buyers who had every reason to say no.

Under his leadership, Accelerain has made the Philadelphia 100® list five times, earning a place in its Hall of Fame, and took part in the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses program.

Andrew has led training for sales organizations of 100+ reps and works directly with CEOs, CROs, and sales leaders to diagnose where deals stall and install a common selling language across the team.

“Great sales teams aren't built by filling seats. They're built by leaders who know what separates top performers and what exceptional selling looks like long before it shows up in the numbers.”

Leadership Team

Christine Rossell, MBA

  • MBA
  • 20+ years building high-performing teams
  • 100,000+ professional relationships
  • Emotional-intelligence (EQ) assessment

Christine Rossell brings more than 20 years of experience with national firms and boutique advisory practices on the question every sales leader cares about: what makes a top performer, and how do you build a team of them?

Her work focuses on what credentials miss: judgment, client instincts, resilience, and leadership capacity. That emotional-intelligence lens shapes how we diagnose teams and coach reps, because the sellers who win complex deals read the room as well as the spreadsheet.

Christine has built a professional network spanning more than 100,000 relationships and leads every engagement with a single standard: the right outcome, not the easy one.

“If you want to build a dream team, take performance seriously. Study the mission and the people, then develop the A players who help your organization reach its stretch goals.”

Our story

We lived it. Then we systematized it.

We practiced the craft as top 1% performers at firms like Corporate Executive Board (now Gartner), BMO Capital Markets, Morgan Stanley, and Citigroup, and built relationships with Fortune 500 enterprises such as Goldman Sachs and Microsoft.

We learned exactly what separates elite closers from everyone else, then systematized it into 22 skill areas, each taught as strategy, tactics, and execution. That system became the Accelerain Method, which we now teach to teams from growth-stage startups to 100+ person enterprise sales organizations.

Why it matters

Why practitioner-led training sticks.

Credibility

We've sat in your reps' seat

Reps listen to people who have carried a quota and closed with the C-suite. We teach from deals we have actually won.

Scale

Built for teams of 5 to 100+

The Method scales because it gives every rep the same language and every manager the same coaching framework.

Results

Measured, not assumed

Every engagement starts with a diagnosis of live calls and ends with 1:1 coaching. Clients report 30% higher close rates and 15–30% faster cycles.
