What our SPIN Marketing customers say
This has been helpful in everything from briefing agencies to producing material and public messages that accord with our sales messages, to giving the entire UK business a sales infrastructure we’ve never had. It’s a virtuous circle. The ‘users and choosers’ of products like ours are amenable to new ideas if we can be persuasive about them. This has helped us to be persuasive in all customer-facing parts of the business.

If you have a question about SPIN Marketing training or to find out how you can use it to synchronise your sales and marketing teams get in touch. We’d be delighted to hear from you.
Who is SPIN Marketing training for?
SPIN Marketing training is specifically designed for marketing professionals working in B2B sales organisations. It's ideal for those who create marketing collateral, develop messaging strategies, and need to ensure their marketing activities align with how their sales teams engage with customers.
Is SPIN Marketing based on research?
Yes. Like all Huthwaite programmes, SPIN Marketing is backed by decades of ongoing research into customer behaviour. Huthwaite's sales, negotiation, and communication methodologies are the most researched and validated in the world, and the SPIN Marketing methodology has evolved as this research continues.
Will it work if we operate internationally?
Absolutely. Huthwaite delivers SPIN programmes internationally, teaching SPIN Marketing behaviours to leading organisations across the globe. The methodology accounts for cultural and behavioural differences, and value propositions and marketing messages can be successfully reviewed and adapted for different markets.
How does it help bridge the gap between sales and marketing?
Our marketing training programme reconnects sales and marketing by harmonising the way both teams think about customers. It provides a shared understanding of the behaviours proven to increase sales success, ensuring that marketing messages align with how sellers use SPIN Selling principles. This creates a consistent, joined-up approach across all customer touchpoints.
Can it help me create more effective marketing techniques?
The programme teaches you to build comprehensive, persuasive cases around your strongest differentiators that can be communicated across all channels. You'll learn to pre-handle and neutralise initial concerns with targeted marketing messages, and ensure your messaging is relevant and benefit-focused at every stage of the customer buying cycle.
What makes this different from other training programmes?
SPIN Marketing is unique because it's built on the same research-backed methodology that has made SPIN Selling one of the most iconic and widely used sales methodologies globally. Rather than treating marketing as a separate discipline, it creates alignment between marketing and sales by ensuring both teams use a consistent, customer-centric approach based on proven behaviours that increase success.
