What Is the Connected Selling Curriculum™ by Richardson and Challenger?

The Connected Selling Curriculum™ is Richardson’s core sales training solution. It is a collection of interconnected, customizable programs designed to build foundational and advanced selling skills across your team. Grounded in behavioral science, the curriculum enables consistent, high-performance sales behaviors at scale.

It equips sales teams to build trust, strengthen customer conversations, and deliver business value by applying proven methods that align with today’s complex buyer expectations.

A Modular System: Core Curriculum and Advanced Capabilities

The Connected Selling Curriculum™ begins with core, foundational programs like Consultative Selling and the Challenger Sale that establish a common language, consistent behaviors, and sales capabilities across your organization. These form the bedrock of a performance-driven sales culture.

Once foundational skills are in place, your teams can advance through specialized modules that address specific challenges and high-impact opportunities, such as negotiating, coaching, account growth, and overcoming indecision with programs like The JOLT Effect™.

Each component of the curriculum builds upon the last, allowing organizations to scale skill development with purpose and precision.
