But I do Sales Onboarding Better than you do.
I have spent a long time in the trenches as a salesperson. I have spent over 25 years as a Sales Learning and Development specialist. Sales Onboarding is what I specialise in. And I am the best at it.

Head of Revenue Enablement at Adverity
We employed Chris to design & deliver our sales onboarding program for Adverity's London, Vienna and soon to open New York Branch.
At the time our onboarding materials consisted of mainly product and marketing eLearning content. Chris reviewed our onboarding process, content, and then added the sales techniques and skills our SDR's needed to be successful. Our SDR's went from booking their first meeting after 3 to 4 weeks to their first week on the phones. Absolutely astounding result.

Park Place were going through a period of international growth, we had a team of sales trainers in the US, but we needed someone with cultural expertise to redesign our onboarding content for different markets and to train our new BDRs in our soon to open office in Singapore.

The retention was incredible, all six starters remained at Park Place for over a year and wre instrumental in building our Singapore offices success.
The Program
The Program
The Sales Onboarding Program 2025 is a comprehensive bespoke training solution that is designed to accelerate the learners journey from novice to overachiever in six months.
So how does it work?
Unlike one-size-fits-all training programs, the Sales Onboarding Program 2025 is tailored to your company’s specific needs. I dive deep into understanding your Ideal Customer Profiles, the unique challenges your solutions address, and the competitive landscape you operate in. This bespoke approach ensures that the training resonates with your sales objectives and culture, providing a truly personalized learning experience.
Planning
One-month before the onboarding program starts we get together so I can understand:
1. Your ICP,
2. What problems does your solution solve? What value will the customer experience. 3 – 5 examples,
3. Testimonials: Who have you worked with, what were their pains, how did you fix them and what were the benefits to the customer. 3 examples,
4. Your competitors and how you differentiate your value,
5. Your tech stack needs.
Then I develop (or study) your Onboarding Program, Sales Process and Sales Playbook with your bespoke content.
Then we get together again to agree the content and method of delivery.
Delivery
Recognising the global nature of sales today, the program is designed with cultural sensitivity at its core. With experience delivering training across diverse geographical locations and cultures, the program is uniquely positioned to support international sales teams. Whether your new hires are in North America, South America, Europe, Asia, or anywhere else, the program is adaptable and relevant, ensuring your sales professionals can connect effectively with a diverse customer base.
I will deliver the two week, Sales Onboarding Program at your offices (anywhere globally), and then stay on for one more week to ensure the program is bedded in and the sales enablement tools are up and running.
Post Course
Post-course mentoring and coaching are integral to the program. I spend one-hour a week with each participant, ensuring the transition from learning to applying is seamless and effective. This level of support is unmatched in the industry, ensuring your team not only learns but excels.
The program and coaching will be delivered by Chris James.

Chris was a great sales trainer during our first few weeks at Park Place. Much of the team had prior sales experience, but across varying sub-industries in IT, & of varying experience levels (no. of years, types of clients engaged), not to mention some fresh grads. All in all, we appreciated Chris for his ability to bond the group despite our varying backgrounds & countries of origin, & give us a good foundation towards cold calling that would form the basis of our daily job here at Park Place.
