The Sales Fiction Index.
A 45-minute diagnostic that separates what is real in your pipeline from what is wishful thinking.
The rep is not the problem.
The manager sets the standard for what is real in the pipeline. Robert builds managers who hold that standard.
- Pipeline reviews are performance theatre
- Numbers look plausible. Deals are fiction.
- Training evaporates by Monday morning
- Every deal has a confirmed next step
- Every review surfaces what is actually true
- The pipeline is real. Quarters are made.
"One manager, equipped with the right system, is worth ten rep training days."— Robert Roseberry
Why Sales Teams Really Fail.
The root cause — and why the fix sits one layer above the reps.
Which of these people are on your team?
After 25 years across 25 countries, Robert has seen the same eight behaviours in every team.
The Sales Pipeline Secret.
Why most pipelines are fiction — and the system that makes them real.
From the people who've seen it work.
IDC · Asia Pacific
"What sets Robert apart is his focus on the manager. Most programmes ignore that layer entirely. He fixed the part of our organisation that was holding everything else back."
IDC · Asia Pacific
"Robert's system is so simple, yet extremely powerful. He delivered it in a way that made every person in the room feel the immediate application to their own deals."
Michelman · North America
"This programme is different from others — it is easy to understand and implement. I strongly recommend it to peers and colleagues."

"There is no sales team that prospects too much."

The pilot launched in Singapore. Success led to Australia and China, then Malaysia and India. The methodology then crossed into North America — Silicon Valley and the Boston area — led by IDC's North American team. Multiple VPs and SVPs were engaged throughout. Robert returned to Singapore and China to deliver further programmes as the engagement deepened. IDC's own Salesforce team embedded the methodology directly into their CRM, driving adoption from 30% to 100%. What began as one pilot became a 15+ year global deployment across four continents. Bookings growth of 15%.
