“You have to run as fast just to stay in place, and to get somewhere, you have to run at least twice as fast!”

(Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland)

This phrase saw the light back in 1865, and today it sounds fresher than ever. In order to professionally stay “on the wave”, “in the flow”, it is not enough to be who you are. It is necessary to develop, acquire new knowledge and skills - just so as not to lose positions; and to advance, you need to work twice as hard.

Open Google or Facebook - if you have ever been interested in seminars, webinars and trainings, you will be bombarded with announcements about training events of various kinds: oratory, leadership development, effective time management, negotiations, business English ... and a lot of specialized, purely professional trainings, programs, courses.

To prevent investment in knowledge from becoming a waste of money, it is useful to approach the issue of choosing training, courses, professional development programs, etc. as rationally as possible (several recommendations for choosing a business coach).

One of the sources of information can be ratings - training companies, trainers, schools, etc. We set out to collect information about such ratings in order to get an idea of ​​the service market in Russia and give you ground for reflection and conclusions. Unfortunately, there is little information available. More than enough information from the organizers of training programs (for the most part, advertising); independent evaluations in short supply.

However, some companies have studied the market for training services and shared the results.

1) All-Russian consumer rating of corporate training providers

Companies providing training services are evaluated by customers. As the organizers of the rating explain, the following are the customers: a) executives, HR directors and managers who organize trainings in their companies; b) employees of companies who were trained at trainings by specific trainers. Therefore, the rating is called consumer rating - because it is evaluated by customers themselves.

TOP 10 business coaches:

2) Valentina Mitrofanova (personal coach, labor law consulting)

3) Radislav Gandapas (leadership, oratory, self-management, self-motivation)

Rating of the newspaper "Elite Personnel"

Dear ladies and gentlemen, I present to your attention a three-month work on the study of the Russian sales training market. The objective of this study was to identify domestic sales gurus, consultants and trainers who are the most competent in sales and related topics - negotiations, persuasion, working with objections, sales management, building sales motivation systems, etc. Oddly enough, until now such a rating did not exist. The last to investigate this topic were journalists from the salespro publication, which, as far as I know, “safely” rested in Bose a few years ago from lack of money (and, apparently, hopelessness that the sales magazine was not for sale).

Each of the people in this study is a unique individual, so whoever you choose for your next training, your company will not go wrong either way. Hire any of them and you will get the most out of what is available on the market. These people are brilliant in sales, have tremendous experience and can help not only the sellers themselves, but also the heads of sales departments, commercial directors and senior managers.

I know some of them in person, others in absentia, and others I have heard a lot about or read their books. By the way, there are those on this list with whom my experience of communication can be called more negative than inspiring. However, this fact did not affect the rating and the position of the coach in it. All these people are well known in Russian market and made a name for themselves in sales training, and not just in “everything” trainings. Whether I like them or not is the tenth thing. There is no doubt about their vast experience and qualifications. I know little about some of them, but by studying their websites, reviews and videos, I can draw fairly accurate conclusions about their competencies and level of expertise in the subject area.

I think that the professionals of this market will pay attention to the fact that many titled coaches of Russia, who (quite deservedly) are used to being in the first places in any such ratings, did not make it into the rating. The reason is obvious - this is the "TOP-20 Sales Coaches". And only for them. I have included here only those trainers and consultants who specialize exclusively in sales training and refuse other topics.

For example, you and I know such well-deserved, and even legendary, coaches as Mikhail Molokanov, Mark Kukushkin, Radislav Gandapas, Leonid Krol, Igor Mann and many others. Of course, in another case, they could also be in this rating, since they clearly deserve the right to be among the best coaches in Russia. And they certainly know how to teach sales. But you need to understand that although they can conduct training on any "selling topic", for them sales trainings, and the topic of sales itself, is no longer the main one. Almost all of them have long “outgrown” the level of simple coaching and have become “gurus” in some area, having “staken out” separate topics for themselves (marketing - Igor Mann, strategy - Radislav Gandapas, time management - Gleb Arkhangelsky, etc. ). And others have greatly expanded the range of training to reach more clients and, thus, left the "pure sales". This automatically excluded them from this list.

On what basis are the coaches placed? To be honest, it's subjective. I did not compare the cost of a training day for each of them, did not consider the average number of paid training days per year or the turnover of their companies. I didn't even look at their price lists. This rating is a purely subjective comparative assessment of one person. I evaluated the totality of my knowledge and the information received through various channels. For example, I have been to Radmilo Lukic's trainings many times, but not so many times to Sergei Azimov's. This was one of the reasons why I ranked SaleCraft's founder a little higher. However, this does not mean that higher is better. I rate almost everyone on this list approximately the same, and it would be extremely wrong to say (and understand) that one of them is better simply because he is higher. It is impossible to compare real pros in their field “directly” - everyone has very different temperaments, approaches and methods of conducting. But what I can say for 100 percent is that all the personalities of this rating are sales professionals of the highest category.

Slightly deviating from the topic, I want to note that it is very difficult to be a “pure sales coach” (sounds funny, right?) in Russia and the CIS countries. Before becoming CEO In the company where I work now, I have conducted many sales trainings and I perfectly understand those who, after three to five years of winding around the country and neighboring countries, go to another business. Teaching sales is an interesting, but extremely difficult and not the most profitable job. The average cost of a good sales coach is now 20-30 thousand per training / day. A good trainer deserves to receive at least 60-100 thousand a day, but there are not so many clients who are willing to pay adequately for high quality. When choosing between a rate of 20 and 60, most companies still choose the former. This list is a warning and a tool for these managers. A good sales coach should cost a lot! Remember this and do not compare the "incomparable".

The dream of any coach is to have at least 15 paid personal trainings per month year-round, but in reality it is difficult to achieve. Sometimes, it happens, of course, more, but more often - less. Having gained a wealth of practice, some coaches open own companies, others expand their own specialization towards general management or personal effectiveness. At the same time, the companies they created have a new name and thus “blur” the trainer’s personal brand that has already gained momentum. In this case, he has to start all over again.

Therefore, many nominees (such as Dmitry Norka or Asya Barysheva) build a brand around their own name. Western examples (the same Jeffrey Gitomer) clearly confirm the success of this approach. Wherever and however I work, my brand will work for me. However, it is clear that a brand built around the founder's name is short-lived. With his departure (unfortunately inevitable), in most cases, his company also disappears. If the brand is strong enough to serve itself without exploiting the name of an individual, it may be more durable and serve children or even grandchildren. However, it happens differently. For example, Arkady Mizernyuk, whose training I admire, is a very successful and wealthy businessman. He could have long ago relaxed on some island under the southern sun and received dividends from a successful youth, however, he, nevertheless, still conducts trainings with pleasure and considers that this is one of his two life missions. In my opinion, this approach deserves all respect.

I admit, calling this rating "Russian TOP-20", I am a little sinning against the truth. Since the list includes not only trainers who live in Russia, but also all those who often come here and can conduct training in any Russian city at any time. I considered this approach justified, since most often Russian (and any other) companies ordering training absolutely do not care where the trainer lives permanently. If we discard his experience and specifics, it is usually important for customers that the trainer be:

  1. Affordable(in terms of money and in terms of a quick appearance on the horizon)
  2. Russian speakers(or Russian speakers, which, in general, is the same thing)
  3. Hassle-free in the sense of drawing up contracts, cash and non-cash payments, flights, accommodations and preparation of all necessary accounting documents that are required by the intricate Russian legislation.

All participants in this rating, therefore, were classified by me as “Russian coaches”. So, for example, it would be foolish to exclude from the list the highly respected and charismatic Mr. Derevitsky, who, although he lives in Kyiv, has conducted a huge number of trainings in Russia. Alexander has found 1000 ways to deal with objections, and is undoubtedly a guru in this rather narrow and, at the same time, such a huge topic. Therefore, his books are still chased throughout the CIS. And Ekke is one of the most famous coaches in Estonia, but also absolutely accessible throughout the former Soviet Union and speaks perfect Russian.

Another logical question that you can ask is: “Why are there not 20 people on the list, but 18?”.

Because:

  1. I didn't want to add people to the list just because I absolutely have to list 20 people. (If this is important to you, add Pavel Bukov from RQ Lab to the list - he specializes not only in sales, but knows this topic brilliantly - and, for example, Vadim Dozortsev, whose team improves efficiency precisely through professional audit and modernization of the sales system, who how does he not see sales in the complex?).
  2. There are some other great trainers that are potentially suitable, but I don't have enough data to check yet, I'll add them later.

Perhaps I missed someone (in this case, I ask you to indicate in the comments those who deserve to get into the pantheon of Russian sales glory), but so far 3 places in the ranking are still vacant. Hurry up, as they say. ;) But, I repeat, only those who have connected their business career with sales, and only with them, can get into the rating.

As you can see, there is a nomination in which two people go at once. Coaches Maxim Gorbachev and Dmitry Tkachenko use the power of dual charisma and train together. Therefore, I did not begin to divide them in half (suddenly, without each other, they will not be able to conduct trainings as effectively?). Unfortunately, only one woman got on the list, this is Asya Barysheva, whose book “How to Sell an Elephant” was read by all professional salespeople. Among the nominees was also Tatyana Sokolova, who recently wrote Upgrade Sales, but for certain reasons, she did not make it to our rating.

I guess that's all I wanted to say as a comment. Of course, I did not want to offend, offend or upset anyone. If I forgot someone, I will gladly include it. I will be glad if this rating is useful to you personally and your organizations. As always, I look forward to your corrections, additions, criticism and comments.

Sincerely,
Mikhail Lyufanov

The best business coaches in Russia, the rating with which is provided above, will meet you more than once in various television programs and news feeds, because only at first glance it seems that there is nothing complicated in the story of successful sales and improving leadership qualities. Many trainers have been studying abroad for years and have extensive experience in entrepreneurial activity. It is worth listening to only those business coaches, the result of whose activities is obvious. Leading business coaches in Russia are becoming more and more in demand every year. foreign countries which speaks volumes about their success.

The most famous business coaches in Russia, as a rule, live in other countries, but it will not be difficult to get to the seminars of one of them. Most of the trainers listed in the top constantly “tour” with their trainings and seminars in many countries of the CIS and Europe.

If we consider entrepreneurship as a profession, then in the number of necessary skills it prevails over most others. Whereas a narrow-profile specialist studies one subject, but deeply, a businessman works, so to speak, "in breadth", trying to learn as much as possible about everything. In this sense, a novice entrepreneur must combine in one person a marketer, a techie, a manager, and, if necessary, an electrician with a plumber. Becoming a "free bird", working for yourself, you are not freed from the routine of a hired worker - you have even more of it. But the truth is, now you are accountable to yourself and the income in your pocket comes directly and, as expected, in a much larger amount.

Since this very income, or rather, its increase, is the main task for the entrepreneur, an end in itself, for the sake of which he, in fact, set off "in all serious" independent business, then he faces the main and difficult question: "How to do this?" . A beginner in this case will inevitably encounter some difficulties. Yes, even experienced entrepreneurs sometimes pat the back of their heads in confusion, unable to understand why all of a sudden "I began to lose money." In this case, it is better to turn to people who have turned helping entrepreneurs into their profession. Business coaches, whose theoretical knowledge is consistently supported by the experience of running their own business, are able to give useful advice, think over an algorithm of actions or evaluate the prospects of a particular solution. They are not just vociferous experts with motivating slogans. By looking at the situation from the outside and passing it through the prism of their experience, the coach can provide an objective assessment of your performance, which is especially important in the absence of a business partner or mentor. And if you lack certain knowledge to realize your entrepreneurial ideas, then a business coach from the relevant field will help fill this gap and master the necessary skills. To do this, you just need to choose yours. Therefore, we decided to compile a list of some of the most sought-after business coaches in Russia so that you get acquainted with their activities, and maybe take advantage of their help.

1. Radislav Gandapas

But to follow their call to go to his training or not depends on your goals.

3. Mikhail Bakunin

A marketing expert helps freelancers, professionals in various fields and service companies build the most effective system sales. His main specialization is the marketing of professional services, which are now experiencing a kind of renaissance, responding on the Internet in the form of numerous ads. Standing out as a programmer, designer, tutor, specialist in advertising or psychology is not so easy now. It's even harder to sell yourself. This is what the trainings and courses of Mikhail Bakunin are focused on, who, relying on his practical experience (he is the founder of several companies), trains independent professionals in competent marketing and effective promotion of their services.

4. Evgeny Kolotilov

Sales technique, despite its apparent shapelessness, is very important in the implementation of almost any business process. It is especially important in the B2B sector. The volume of one-time sales here, as a rule, is quite large, and customers, as direct participants in the industry, require high requirements. Therefore, it is not always possible to exploit emotional pressure on the buyer. A large customer is a professional, so it is much more difficult to convince him than an ordinary consumer. Difficult, but not impossible. It is precisely these sales techniques that he teaches, whose work experience is measured not only by the number of years (and their figure, by the way, approaches 30), but also by the list of published books, has long secured the status of an authoritative expert. At the same time, Mann himself puts an inequality sign between the concepts of "marketer" and "marketer", making it clear that there is a difference between theoretical knowledge and practical knowledge. But this does not mean that one excludes the other. It's just that truly competent management is possible when they are used together. Therefore, Igor Mann positions himself as a universal marketer working at the intersection of theory and practice, which allowed him to develop a balanced business development methodology, which he willingly shares at numerous trainings and corporate programs. In his master classes, books and video courses, Igor Mann laid an extensive marketing management base for a variety of business tasks: increasing sales, working with feedback, negotiating, working with B2B, work schedule optimization and others. Therefore, his work will be useful not only for novice entrepreneurs, but also for experienced players.
