How UK sales training companies are using AI (2026)

We reviewed the public offer of 175 UK sales and negotiation training firms to see where AI has made it into the product, and where it has only made it into the blog.

Key findings

13%

let learners practise sales conversations with AI.

22 of 175 firms. Among firms with 51+ staff, it's 11 of 21.

66%

sell nothing with AI in it.

116 of 175 firms either say nothing about AI or only write about it.

52% vs 8%

of larger firms sell AI practice, compared with smaller firms.

Size is the clearest dividing line in the data.

1 of 22

firms selling AI practice publishes client results with numbers.

2 more publish client stories without figures.

The market

Five levels of AI in the offer

Each firm sits at the highest level we found public evidence for.

Five levels of AI among 175 UK sales training firms: Practice with AI 13%, AI tools, no practice 11%, Teaches AI as a topic 10%, Talks about AI only 33%, No visible AI 33%.
  1. Practice with AI

    Learners hold sales or negotiation conversations with an AI buyer, customer or counterpart.

    13% 22 firms

  2. AI tools, no practice

    AI is part of the product, for example call preparation, coaching nudges on real work or commercial insight, but learners don't rehearse with it.

    11% 19 firms

  3. Teaches AI as a topic

    Sells a course or workshop on using AI in selling or at work.

    10% 18 firms

  4. Talks about AI only

    Writes articles, posts or talks about AI, with no AI product or course on sale.

    33% 58 firms

  5. No visible AI

    Nothing about AI on the website, product pages or recent publishing.

    33% 58 firms

Firm size

The larger firms moved first

11 of the 21 firms with 51+ staff sell AI practice: Corporate Visions, Dale Carnegie UK, Huthwaite International, Imparta, RAIN Group, Richardson Sales Performance, SalesStar UK, SBR Consulting, The Gap Partnership, ValueSelling Associates and Vantage Partners. Among the 138 smaller firms, 11 do, and 34% show no AI at all.

The smaller firms that do sell AI practice are mostly specialists. Hartley-Brewer built its own negotiation practice partner. Outshine runs simulated phone calls for its telephone courses. Positive Purchasing's Ruby lets procurement teams rehearse negotiations from the buyer's side.

52% of larger firms sell AI practice, compared with 8% of smaller firms.

16 firms with no reliable size evidence are left out of this comparison. None of them sells AI practice.

Positioning

Practice is becoming part of the method

The firms that sell AI practice rarely present it as a separate tool. They name it after their method: SPIN AI Mentor at Huthwaite International, i-Coach AI at Imparta, ValueCoach AI at ValueSelling Associates, RAIN Sales AI at RAIN Group.

Few say who built the technology underneath. What they sell is their method, with a place to practise it between sessions.

This is recent. The launches we could date run from April 2024 (Corporate Visions) and December 2024 (Sandler Training UK) to July 2025 (RAIN Group) and September 2026 (Richardson Sales Performance).

14

sell it under their own product name

8

say a technology partner built it

Evidence

Almost nobody is publishing proof

9 of 175 firms publish a client story that mentions AI. Only 3 of those stories are about AI practice, and only Imparta puts a number on it.

1 of 22 firms selling AI practice publish client results with numbers.
FirmAbout AI practice?What the firm reportsSource
ImpartaYesi-Coach AI study: 350 sellers at eight enterprise clients, over US$140k more revenue per seller a year (firm-reported, AI and training combined)Imparta client story
RAIN GroupYesClient executive quote on AI role play revealing performance gaps; no figuresRAIN Group client story
Vantage PartnersYesLife-sciences client used AI-avatar practice after masterclasses to coach at scale; no figuresVantage Partners client story
FlumeNoGSMA: 700% ROI from a sales transformation that included AI-optimised benchmarking (whole programme)Flume client story
SalecologyNoClient owner testimonial: three times more deals with the same team (self-reported)Salecology client story
SBR ConsultingNoWealth-manager programme using AI-driven psychometrics: 400%+ ROI and 30% growth against a control group (firm-reported, whole programme)SBR Consulting client story
ScotworkNoAdvertising client: over £10m extra savings and 1,700% ROI; AI prep tool was part of delivery (whole programme)Scotwork client story
Sparks ConsultancyNoUnnamed client: 30% higher call-to-enrolment and 22% higher MRR after four AI agents (firm-reported)Sparks Consultancy client story
Winning by DesignNoVeriff: AI call coaching alongside training improved discovery scores; too early to quantifyWinning by Design client story

Most of the figures cover a whole training programme, with AI as one part of it. The return on AI practice alone is still unproven in public. Whichever firms publish it first will have the market's only evidence.

Opportunity

95 firms are engaged with AI, but stop short of practice

That's 54% of the market. These firms have the clearest next step.

Of 175 firms: 22 sell AI practice, 95 are engaged with AI but stop short of practice (19, 18, 58), and 58 show no AI.

19

have built AI into the product for preparation, insight or coaching on real work, such as Scotwork's AI preparation tool and MySalesCoach's coaching agent. Learners can't rehearse with any of it.

18

teach AI as a topic, including Mercuri International UK's AI for Sales Professionals and Cegos UK's Boosting Sales Prospecting with AI.

58

publish articles, podcasts or keynotes about AI but have nothing AI-based on sale yet.

How else firms are widening the offer

AI isn't the only way firms are moving beyond the workshop. These are the most common other moves in what firms publish. Counts are minimums.

What next

Four moves the data points to

What larger training firms could do next.

Add practice where you already teach AI

21 firms sell courses on using AI in selling. Only 2, Positive Purchasing and The Gap Partnership, also let delegates practise with AI. If clients already buy AI from you, practising the conversations you teach is a short step.

Guide: making courses practical, module by module

Put your method's name on it

14 of the 22 firms with AI practice sell it under their own product name. Buyers are paying for your model of a good conversation. The AI is how they practise it.

Deliver practice under your own brand

Sell practice between sessions, not instead of them

Hartley-Brewer includes three months of AI practice with its courses, then charges to continue. Corporate Visions includes AI role plays in its sales courses. Lean 4 Sales bundles 100 days of practice with its corporate programmes. Each turns a one-off workshop into weeks of practice and a renewal conversation.

Guide: adding AI roleplay to live training

Publish your practice data as proof

Only 1 of 22 AI practice firms publishes numbers. Every practice session produces scores, so before-and-after skill data per learner and per team is there to be published. It's the evidence of behaviour change that L&D buyers ask for and end-of-course feedback forms can't give them.

Guide: proving ROI by measuring skill change

Skylar is the leader in AI roleplay for training companies

Skylar builds AI role plays from your method, runs them under your brand, and gives you skill data on every learner and team. You keep the expertise and the client relationship. Skylar adds the practice in between sessions, without adding headcount.

Prefer to deliver it under your own brand? See the white-label sales training platform.

How we did this

Why Skylar published this research
As the leader in AI roleplay for training companies, Skylar published this research to help the sector move forward. We show how firms use AI, where practice is taking hold, and what evidence training leaders can use to shape their next steps. Our platform turns their methods into branded AI roleplay, with feedback and skill tracking.
Sample
175 UK-based firms whose main offer is sales or negotiation training, from Skylar's October 2026 research. We left out consumer and career-changer academies, generalist training providers where sales is a minor line, and firms that have been absorbed into another firm in the sample.
Evidence
Public sources only: company websites, product pages, published articles, LinkedIn and Companies House, reviewed in October 2026. Each firm sits at the highest level with public evidence behind it. Every AI practice, AI course and client-results claim was checked a second time, and so was every firm first placed in the bottom two levels. A firm with no visible AI may still use it privately.
Client stories
We count a client story only when it's on the training firm's own site and names AI as part of what was delivered. Results are as reported by the firm or its client, not independently tested.
Size
Larger means 51+ staff, from LinkedIn company-size bands, Companies House or the firm's own site. For international firms the band can include staff outside the UK. 16 firms had no reliable size evidence.
Names
We name every training firm. We don't name the technology vendors behind their AI. One firm in the sample, Lean 4 Sales, uses Skylar for its AI practice.
Data
