On Monday 15th August 2022 Brindis Founder Fred Copestake decided 'enough was enough' 

Frustrated with how many salespeople were not being prepared to deal with the changes they now face he made a commitment to do something about it

The Collaborative Selling Academy and how it is presented to you is a result of that...

I'm fed up with it now.
Sales people are being hung out to dry.
Come on, look.
The world of sales is changing. It's changing faster than ever before.
Yet sales people aren't being prepared to deal with this.
Now I get it, some don't understand and aren't wanting to make the changes themselves, but some do and sales management and their companies aren't helping them with this.
It's not right.
You're setting people up to fail.
I can't stand by and let this happen.
So I'm gonna do something about it.
I'm not sure exactly what yet, but I know that what I can do is take the material from the Collaborative Selling Accelerator and make it way more accessible for more people.
We're gonna do that somehow.
My team are gonna love me for this, making the commitment for it now.
Watch this space.
We're gonna get this stuff out for people so that they have got a fair crack at getting the results that they're looking for.

Evolution and revolution has led to some common modern sales challenges

‘Busy Busy Busy’

– this is being ineffective. It results in wasted opportunities, is tiring and stressful and means the focus is on the wrong activities to deliver results

‘Olde Worlde’

 – this is being old fashioned. It is when salespeople are too self-centred rather than customer focused, too technical in their approach or use bad techniques better suited to a bygone era of selling

‘Muddled Mindset’

 – this is being misaligned. It can happen at organisation, management and individual level and means that the confusion leads to frustration and wasted effort

Without addressing these individuals and organisations will get left behind by those that do understand and act now

Ability to trust. Do you give people your trust, or do they have to earn it? 

Comfort with change. Are you comfortable changing not just the status quo, but your own status quo?

Comfort with interdependence. Can you allow your partners to accomplish their assigned activities, even if they don’t do it the way you would?

Self-disclosure and feedback. Can you easily disclose and articulate your needs, as well as express your appreciation or disappointment?

Win-win orientation. Do you employ a problem-solving approach that creates wins for all concerned?

Future orientation. Do you look to the future rather than the past in evaluating your business relationships?

Learning curve – the steeper the better because means faster time to results

The Collaborative Selling Academy interventions are designed to give smoother ‘speed to competence’ – it balances fast with effective.

Fred Copestake is Founder of Brindis, a sales training consultancy

Over the last 22 years he has travelled round the world 14 times visiting 36 countries working with 10,000 salespeople

Using this to understand the challenges salespeople face he has taken what really makes a difference in modern selling and used these in his book 'Selling Through Partnering Skills’.

These ideas form the basis of his work with sales professionals involved in complex B2B sales to develop their approach and ensure it is up to date and has maximum impact.

Aware of the unprecedented speed of change in the world of sales in his second book 'Hybrid Selling' he addressed how salespeople can adapt and evolve their approach to avoid becoming irrelevant. This quickly went to number one on Amazon after it’s launch.

He has a strong belief that people can get better through learning and sharing, and that with better collaboration we can all really make a difference.

The Collaborative Selling Academy is about delivering results which is why we encourage you to attend a free workshop to see if it suits you and to make sure our philosophies match.

It is not for everyone and in line with a true collaborative mindset want to ensure our mutual success.

Whilst we will do everything we can to help our members achieve their results ultimately they must commit to the activity that will drive the outcomes they desire

A key lesson of Selling Through Partnering Skills is to be selective and we practice this as it helps us maintain high standards
