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.
// what we do
Three lines of work
[01]
Advisory
Go-to-market consulting for cloud infrastructure startups and the individual operators
who carry their number. The work covers enterprise sales motions, deal strategy and
execution, pipeline discipline, pricing conversations, and early commercial hiring.
- workshops for founding & sales teams
- ongoing advisory for founders
- 1:1 coaching for sellers in infra
- deal-level support on live opportunities

Research & writing
Independent analysis of the cloud infrastructure market, covering vendors, platform
shifts, and how infrastructure is bought and sold. We publish long-form essays and
produce commissioned research for operators, founders, and investors.
- company & segment deep dives
- go-to-market teardowns
- market maps & industry commentary
- commissioned research for select clients
[03]
Software & data
We maintain a curated market-intelligence database of 600+ cloud and infrastructure
software companies. It tracks stage, funding, focus areas, and commercial signals,
and supports our advisory and research.
- market & company databases
- internal research tooling

// how we work
$ cat principles.txt
-
01 / practitioners first
Our advice comes from sales motions and live deals we have worked on ourselves.
-
02 / depth over breadth
We work exclusively in cloud infrastructure software, from compute and data to developer tools.
-
03 / independent by design
We do not accept vendor commissions, sponsored conclusions, or payment for placement.
-
04 / build, don't theorize
We build the datasets and tools we need, then use them in client work.
