Commercial strategy, research, and tools for the people who build and sell cloud infrastructure software.

About The Sales Workshop

The Sales Workshop is a consulting company in Utrecht, focused entirely on the business of cloud infrastructure software: how it is built, positioned, priced, and sold. We advise the companies that make it, coach the people who sell it, study the market, and build software of our own.
