Accelerain’s sales training for private equity portfolio companies builds the selling capability that drives the revenue growth PE firms need — fast.
PE-backed companies face unique pressure: they need to grow revenue fast enough to hit value-creation targets within a defined hold period. Generic sales training doesn’t move fast enough or produce measurable results.
Most portfolio company sales teams have strong domain expertise but lack the enterprise selling skills to close larger, more complex deals. They need a system — not just motivation.
Accelerain gives portfolio companies the selling system that drives measurable revenue acceleration.
We work with PE operating partners and portfolio company sales leaders to diagnose the team’s selling gaps, design targeted training, and embed the behavior through coaching — all within the timeline PE firms require.
We listen in on real calls, review CRM data, and interview reps and managers to find where conviction breaks down — and which of the 22 skills the team is missing.
We design a tailored training program targeting the team’s specific gaps. Strategy, tactics, and execution — taught three ways across the chosen skill areas.
Workshops alone don’t change behavior. We embed each skill through individual coaching sessions until reps run the new motion automatically in live deals.
Engagements draw from Accelerain’s 22 training areas — the complete Renaissance System. Most engagements focus on 6 to 10 of these areas based on the team’s diagnosed gaps.
Accelerain was founded by sales leaders who carried a number — top-1% performers at Corporate Executive Board (now Gartner), Morgan Stanley, McKinsey, Citigroup, and BMO Capital. We built Accelerain to teach the system that made us the top 1%.
In our careers, we have closed hundreds of deals with the Fortune 1000 C-Suite. We’ve worked with teams selling into companies including Nike, Nestle, Goldman Sachs, Wal-Mart, Blackrock, PepsiCo and Microsoft, and with growth-stage B2B technology companies, professional services firms, and private equity portfolio companies.
We partner with operating partners and portfolio company sales leadership. Engagements typically run 8–16 weeks with rapid impact — many teams see pipeline improvement within the first 30 days.
Yes. We’ve worked with PE firms to train selling teams across multiple portfolio companies simultaneously, customizing the program for each company’s specific market and selling motion.
