Evidence beats confidence
A seller's certainty is not evidence. Neither is a stage name. The product will tell a seller their deal is weaker than they think, because that is the only version of the truth worth having before a board meeting.
About us
We are building a company to build a hospice
Sales Commander is a company with a purpose beyond itself. We are building it to build a children's hospice.
The goal
Bright Haven
Bright Haven is a children's hospice. It does not exist yet. We intend to build it.
A place of joy, dignity and light, where families find rest, wonder and time together. Not a clinical building with a garden attached, but somewhere designed from the first brick around peace, fun and light to fulfil every child's day.
What it will hold
- Landscaped gardens, a still lake and wildflower meadows, shaped for wheelchairs and wonder alike
- A sunlit atrium built entirely for play, with a real living tree at its heart
- Outdoor adventure that leaves nobody on the sidelines, with a wheelchair height playground and a treehouse reached by a gentle ramp
- A hydrotherapy pool kept at body temperature, with ceiling hoists and zero step entry
- Therapy rooms that feel like calm rather than clinic, at each child's own pace
- Creative and technology studios, with eye and switch gaming so the smallest movement can turn a wall into a rainforest
- A cinema with wheelchair level seating and headphones for everyone, so nobody watches from the aisle
- A family kitchen and cafe, where the cup of tea that makes a hard day lighter is always available
- A quiet sanctuary open to every faith and to none, for a few steps away at any hour
- Ensuite family suites, so no family is ever more than a doorway apart
- A remembrance garden around a reflecting pool and a blossom tree, where every family is always welcome home
Every investment a customer makes in Sales Commander is an investment in our dream: building a haven for children to embrace every day with light, and for their families to have a sanctuary to treasure moments.
The plaque
When Bright Haven is built there will be a plaque at the entrance, and it will name every company that bought Sales Commander and made it possible.
Not sponsors. Not donors. Customers. Every organisation that put a seller on the platform will have its name on the wall of a children's hospice, because the revenue that built it came from them.
In the meantime, all profits from Julian's books go to Chestnut Tree House Children's Hospice, and will continue to.
Who we are
Sales Commander is founded by Julian Reading and Michael Turner. Julian spent thirty five years in enterprise sales, leadership and methodology. He is the author of six books on sales methodology and the creator of the Eight Pillars, the framework the product runs on. Michael has spent his career in enterprise sales, primarily for the last twenty seven years at Oracle working with major clients.
Julian has trained qualification at Elastic, JLL, Commvault and Oracle.
Sales Commander is not a technology product. It is by sales people, for sales people. Over seventy years of enterprise complex deal experience, embedding not theory but proven win tactics throughout the sales cycle, to drive our unique next best selling action.
Why the product exists
Pipeline is full and the forecast is fiction. Not because sellers lie, but because nobody can tell the difference between a deal that is really progressing and one that merely feels like it is.
Sales Commander scores a deal on the evidence behind it, across the Eight Pillars: Metrics, Economic Buyer, Decision Criteria, Decision Process, Path to Payment, Identify Compelling Event, Champion and Competition. Evidence, not opinion. If the evidence is not there, the score says so.
What we believe
The product never flatters
A score can fall, and a fall is a fall. Nothing is smoothed to make a screen more comfortable. When the system has not been told something, it says so rather than guessing.
No leaderboards
Sellers see their own progress, not a ranking against colleagues. Managers see the team. Comparison is a management tool, not a motivational one.
Say what is known and what is not
Every judgement in the product is labelled with where it came from: verified, Commander assessed, user assessed or calculated. You should always be able to see the difference between a fact and an inference.
