OEM Sales Training & Advisory — Zurich

Selling technical products into complex OEM markets is genuinely difficult.

Long evaluation cycles. Buying committees of eight people. Procurement that kills deals your engineer already loves.

I've spent 15 years navigating exactly this — and I've built training and advisory around what actually works.

What this is — and what it isn't

Most sales training is built for fast-moving consumer or SaaS markets.

This isn't. It's built for the specific reality of selling technical components to OEM buyers who take 18 months to approve a vendor.

This will help you

  • Understand what's actually happening inside a buying committee — and how to influence it without direct access to every decision-maker
  • Build champions who defend your position when you're not in the room
  • Run pilots that convert instead of pilots that die in engineering
  • Read procurement objections correctly — most aren't really about price
  • Survive personnel changes without losing a deal you've worked on for two years

This will not

  • Make your sales cycles shorter — that's set by the buyer's internal process, not your technique
  • Give you a magic script — OEM selling is judgment-based, not formula-based
  • Replace the domain expertise you need to earn credibility with technical buyers
  • Work without practice — the frameworks are only useful if you apply them to real deals
