That is where your year went. Between forty and sixty percent of deals are lost to customers who said they intended to buy and then did nothing (Harvard Business Review). Ringcraft is one to one coaching for the people running those deals, on the live ones.
Thirty minutes on one deal that has stopped. No charge.
Early in my career at Ford I had a managing director who wanted to change his entire fleet. Priced, specified, agreed. It never moved. I had been taught to sell to the man who signs the cheque, so that is exactly what I did. His service team, his finance people and his management all had their own reasons to stay where they were.
Nobody beat me on that deal. I lost it on my own.
Twenty years later, on a one point nine million pound job through Técnicas Reunidas, the same thing was happening. Technical signed off, documentation agreed, terms going nowhere. By then I knew whose room the decision was actually in, so I went and got it from the owner.
It took me thirty years to learn that. You do not have to take thirty years.
Ringcraft is the boxing word for exactly that. It is also what wins a deal with several people in the decision.
Two weeks of formal sales training in thirty years. Safestyle taught me to close, on the doors, commission only. Ford put me through the only structured B2B programme I have ever sat in. Everything since I worked out myself on live deals.
It has had to work in marine, rail, defence, oil and gas, construction, energy management, instrumentation, pumping systems and safety equipment. It travels because it had no choice. No framework, no acronym, no certificate. Everything comes out of deals I won or lost.
Founding rate for the first cohort, held against a documented before and after. Close rate, cycle length and average deal size, agreed in session one and measured at the end.
Cancel any time. It stops at the end of the month you have paid for. No notice period, no minimum term.
Everything you bring stays in the session, and I will sign your NDA if you want one. I will not coach two people competing for the same contract. If your employer is paying, I will invoice the company.
We pull it apart, work out where the decision actually sits and who is arguing against you, and you leave with the next three things to do.
