Pavilion has great “schools”/courses for sales reps specifically. Something I’ve also done and noticed that has helped me in countless ways is taking courses allowing me to cross-train…that is a huge advantage and really gets your mind understanding how a business is run from a foundational level (revops!)

And more OG -- Sandler system training.

I would recommend Gap Selling. It is a modern sales methodology focused on how buyers buy today, not around sellers "qualifying" a prospect. Regardless of whatever training or methodology you choose, the most important thing is what happens after. How well is the information retained? How is it implemented? How is success measured against it?

How do you gather learnings from closed pursuits from your customers in an B2B environment (post mortem analysis)? We used selective interviews in the past for key gains and losses.
