Richardson: An Award-Winning Sales Training Company

Richardson is recognized year after year by accrediting bodies including Gartner, Forrester, Training Industry and SellingPower

Richardson Sales Performance is repeatedly recognized among the best B2B sales training companies.

Partner with a Top Sales Training Company

Most sales training is an event. It happens, but it doesn't change how teams sell. Richardson Sales Performance builds a system that develops the skills, habits, and insight sales teams need to move buyers forward, close the gap between interest and action, and win more business. That difference is why we're recognized year after year as an award-winning sales training and performance improvement company. And it’s why our clients see real results in win rates, deal size, and revenue.

We’ve earned consistent acknowledgment from leading learning and development organizations, including Brandon Hall Group, Chief Learning Officer, and the Association for Talent Development (ATD), for our programs, our methodologies, and their measurable impact on how global sales organizations perform. Training Industry and Selling Power have named us to their top provider lists. And Gartner and Forrester have recognized us in their evaluations of sales training providers.

Awards alone don't close deals. But they prove our results are verified, not just promised. That proof is what earns us the trust of the world's most demanding sales organizations, and the chance to keep turning their stalled deals into forward movement.

Training Industry Names Richardson as a 2026 Top Sales Training and Enablement Company—15+ Years Running

In 2026, Training Industry named Richardson to its Top Sales Training and Enablement Companies list for the 15th consecutive year. This recognition highlights our commitment to quality as we leverage the combined strength that comes from the unification of two of the most influential names in sales performance improvement: Richardson and Challenger. Together, we unite Consultative Selling and Challenger methods, so sellers know when to listen, when to challenge, and how to move deals forward.

Richardson & Challenger Win Gold at Brandon Hall with Client's Cencora & Swisher

Richardson earned its two 2025 Brandon Hall Group™ Gold awards in the Sales Training and Performance category (with client Cencora) and the Competencies and Skill Development category (with client Swisher). The Brandon Hall Group™ HCM Excellence Awards® recognize organizations that exemplify the transformative power of strategic human capital management. These wins are shared victories, earned alongside the clients who put our training to work.

Gartner and Forrester Recognize Richardson's Exemplary Sales Training Services

Richardson was named a Leader in the 2022 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Sales Training Service Providers and recognized in The Forrester Wave™: Sales Training and Services. These placements from two of the most respected research and advisory firms reinforce our commitment to the continuous evolution of our sales training system, so that every program develops new behaviors that consistently deliver in win rates, deal size, and revenue.

Selling Power Names Richardson a Top Sales Training Provider

Richardson has again earned a place on Selling Power's Top Sales Training Companies list, recognized for measurable client ROI and excellence in virtual sales training. This recognition highlights our commitment to providing clients with the highest quality sales training programs, ensuring strong ROI and customer satisfaction. The award is reserved for organizations that consistently demonstrate the expertise, innovation, and agility needed to help clients thrive in today's fast-paced, tech-enabled sales environment.

Client Success: Our Number One Priority

While these honors highlight our team's dedication and expertise, the recognition that matters most is the success our clients achieve. We actively collaborate with our partners to ensure their efforts are showcased and celebrated, and many of our clients have gone on to receive awards of their own for learning effectiveness and sales performance. Their success stories are the clearest testament to the power of partnership and the effectiveness of Richardson's training methodologies.

Awards are a milestone, not the finish line. They motivate us to keep raising the standard for sales performance by delivering a system that helps organizations adapt to evolving markets, build critical selling behaviors, and connect what sellers do in the field to lasting business impact.
