Two promises — for every sales professional and every sales leader.
Win more deals
- Find the gaps that could derail the deal.
- Reach the people who influence the decision.
- Build a stronger case for choosing you.
- Turn each coaching conversation into a practical next move.
Forecast with confidence
- Know what the customer has committed to — and what still needs confirming.
- See which of the customer's steps really set the close date.
- Spot slippage and open risks while there's still time to act.
- See where a manager's involvement could change the outcome.
A close date that rests on the customer's steps, not on hope — one you can defend in any forecast call.

From one friendly contact to the person who decides.
Deals rarely die on the last call. They stall weeks earlier — with nobody involved who can sign.
A deal that was stuck.
Four steps to move it forward:
Your thinking first, then Ted's view.
Click through, or press play, and watch both promises at work: a stronger position to win, and a forecast built on what the customer confirmed.

Stronger position to win
- Access to the person who decides
- None yet — Anna Berg (CFO) doesn't take vendor meetings
- Business case
- None yet
More credible forecast
- Decision date
- None yet — one contact, no engagement with the person who decides, no date from the customer.
- Remaining signature steps
- Not known
- Expected order
- Not known
An illustrative example: the company, people and dates are made up. It shows a deal moving closer to a win — not a measured increase in win rate.
For sales professionals
Find the move that changes the deal.
Your own thinking comes first. Then the coach tests the one unknown that matters, offers its view, and helps you decide what to ask the customer next.

For sales leaders
Know which deals need you — and why.
Your team works deals through in private. You see what the customer has confirmed, what's still open — and where you can tip the deal.
A forecast you can defend: see which dates the customer confirmed and which are estimates. No sandbagging, no overpromising.
Each deal that needs attention says why, in one line — a date that moved, two statements that disagree, a deal gone quiet, a step without a date. Open the deal for its timeline and a short summary of each coaching session.
Coaching stays private · deal signals are shared
You see what was established and agreed, never the conversation itself.

Why Ted coaches instead of doing it for you
Inspecting a deal changes nothing. Coaching the people who sell it does.
“With over 30 years in the trenches of networking and security sales, from first-line manager to leading teams of more than 1,000, I've learned that sales isn't just about numbers — it's about people. The best managers don't inspect deals, they coach their people until the next move is theirs. No manager has time to do that on every deal. Ted does — and leaves the thinking, and the win, with them. ”
