High-performance personal coaching for revenue teams.

The only thing we scale is your team.

A small-group coaching programme combining revenue methodology, live sales practice and communication coaching — built for teams who want to improve the quality of their real customer conversations over time.

02The Why

Why I'm going back to unscalable human coaching for revenue teams.

And why even your most senior reps keep defaulting to old habits in the room.

2018

I taught the frameworks. People nodded. Three weeks later they were back to old habits.

I started delivering training to revenue teams. They learned the models, ran the workshops, debriefed the deals. Then I'd listen to their next live calls and hear exactly the behaviour we had just spent days replacing.

The iceberg

Training is the tip. Underneath sits habit, identity, and emotional response.

No slide deck reaches that mass. You can teach a rep what to say. Getting them to deliver it under pressure, on the call that actually matters, is a different discipline — and it lives in the body, not the deck.

The new buyer

AI did half the conversation before the rep ever joined the call.

Buyers self-research. Live interactions are fewer, shorter, and weighted with more decision. The cost of a weak call is no longer one lost meeting — it's the whole opportunity, and increasingly the whole account.

What's left

Scaling more training is the wrong answer. Scaling reps is the only answer.

Senior people don't need more content. They need a room where the real moments get rehearsed — real pressure, real feedback, real repetition — until the behaviour actually changes on the next live call.

03The problem

The practice paradox.

Every revenue org claims its reps practice. None of the three usual methods can actually produce behavioural change in senior people.

  1. I.

    Practising on the customer.

    The most expensive rehearsal room in the world. Mistakes cost real pipeline, so reps stop taking the risks that would actually grow them.

  2. II.

    Peer-to-peer roleplay.

    Two people who share the same blind spots, taking turns being polite to each other. The pressure is fake. The feedback is fake. Nothing transfers.

  3. III.

    AI simulation.

    A buyer that never gets bored, never gets irritated, never disengages. The stakes don't exist, so the nervous system never gets trained.

04The how

The division of labor.

Coaching senior reps requires two distinct disciplines in the same room: someone who can architect the conversation, and someone who can embody the buyer. Most programs collapse both jobs into one person and do neither well. We split them.

My roleThe methodology

Revenue mechanics, deal architecture, and the technical implementation of frameworks like CIA and TEA inside your actual GTM. I coach the conversation in flight: what to anchor, what to expose, what to leave alone.

David's roleThe simulation

Portrait of David AnsdellDavid Ansdell

Communication skills coach specialising in elocution, accent reduction and presentation skills. David works one-to-one and inside organisations to help people speak with clarity, presence and purpose — clients span doctors, lawyers, bankers, film directors, teachers, accountants, marketing executives, museum guides, IT developers and musicians. In the room he draws on three decades as actor, writer and director: three disciplines that share the same craft — making language land under pressure.

05The setup

Who this is actually for.

This is for small SaaS sales teams who want to improve the quality of their live customer conversations. It is not a workshop and it is not a course. It is a weekly room.

Best fit

  1. I.5 to 10 reps or managers.
  2. II.B2B SaaS or complex sales.
  3. III.Enough live customer conversations to practice from.
  4. IV.Leaders who want continuous improvement, not a one-off workshop.

The weekly motion

The program revolves around weekly live practice on real scenarios — re-anchoring a weak opportunity, handling pricing pushback, recovering a stalled deal. One specific behavior gets feedback per session. Then it gets repeated, the next week, on a harder version of the same situation. Repetition over time is the point.

06The next step

“David & I” is a high-performance coaching environment for senior revenue teams.

We combine revenue methodology with elite communication simulation to close the gap between knowing what to say, and actually delivering it under pressure. Because we do the coaching ourselves, capacity is strictly limited. If you have 5 to 10 reps who need to elevate how they hold the room, reach out.
