Istaris Business Services delivers sales materials through its Association with Solutions for Sales Limited. Solutions for Sales (SfS), based in Westcliff-on-Sea in Essex, is dedicated to sales enablement – that is providing everything needed to make your products, solutions or services easy to sell – so you sell more. The main SfS deliverable is a Sales Guide, a document that encapsulates the key information needed by a salesperson to effectively sell your or your customer's product, solution or service.

Istaris Business Services has written over 40 Sales Guides, Sales Briefs and Interactive Sales Kits for SfS customers. These have included seven Sales Guides for Invensys, four Sales Guides for Advantica (now a part of Germanischer Lloyd), three Sales Guides for Logica, two Interactive Sales Kits for Polycom, a Sales Brief for paper manufacturer Crown van Gelder, five Sales Guides for enterprise IT security specialist Trend Micro, and a Sales Guide each for Vodafone, SPX, AMS and start up company Polatis. Istaris also developed a Sales Guide for start up company EZURiO, then updated it when EZURiO became a part of Laird Technologies. Between 2003 and 2007, Istaris authored 17 Sales Guides and Interactive Sales Kits for the Enterprise and Carrier divisions of Nortel.

In Association with SfS, Istaris has also produced customer collateral for Advantica and Germanischer Lloyd, and three customer-facing guides for Invensys Process Systems, each focused on a particular liquefied natural gas (LNG) project.

RVWL Limited, based in Farnham in Surrey, focuses on services that deliver sales success.

Customers have included Telstra International, Apertio (now a part of Nokia Siemens), Borland Software Corporation, Arieso and Actix.
