Selling Strategies Certification

Bringing humans and AI together

"Fix your sales execution."

6 live 2-hour Zoom sessions Taught by Bart Fanelli 8–25 seats per cohort certification badge

The path

A repeatable playbook for winning deals — without losing the human part of selling.

Selling Strategies is built from the 5 Selling Strategies pillars in Skillibrium's 5x5x4 framework: Value, Champions, Solution & Technical Alignment, Mutual Action Plan (MAP), and Proposal. It's the "what good looks like" curriculum for anyone carrying a number.

AI has changed how sellers research, draft, and handle admin — but it hasn't changed what makes a buyer trust a rep. This path is built for that gap: reps learn to use AI as leverage while doubling down on the judgment, discovery, and relationship skills AI can't do for them.

Reps run all five pillars against a live deal scenario, complete a final capstone activity, and certify against a standard.

The 5 pillars

  1. Value — quantifying the problem before pitching the fix
  2. Champions — finding and equipping an internal advocate
  3. Solution & Technical Alignment — proving fit to the people who'll say no
  4. Mutual Action Plan — a shared, dated path to close
  5. Proposal — pricing and packaging that closes, not just quotes


Timing

Six live sessions, one pillar at a time.

Every session runs two hours over Zoom, scheduled to your team's cadence — not a fixed public calendar.

Your Way of Selling

Bridging what it takes to sell your company's solution in the time of AI

2

Value

Quantifying business impact so a rep can speak to above the line and below the line strategies, initiatives, and challenges

3

Champions

Identifying, testing, and equipping an internal advocate to sell on the rep's behalf.

4

Solution & Technical Alignment

Aligning the solution and technical value to achieve the technical win.

5

Mutual Action Plan

Building a shared, dated roadmap to close that the buyer co-owns.

6

Proposal

Packaging and pricing a proposal built to be signed, not just sent.

Outcomes

What a certified rep can do differently on Monday morning.

✓

Qualifies on value, not gut feel

Every deal has a quantified reason to buy before it enters forecast.

✓

Builds champions on purpose

Reps stop hoping for an internal advocate and start developing one.

✓

Clears technical objections earlier

Solution alignment happens before the proposal, not after it stalls.

✓

Runs a real Mutual Action Plan

Close dates come from a shared plan, not a rep's optimism.

✓

Writes proposals that close

Pricing and packaging built around how the buyer actually decides.

✓

Uses AI without losing the human edge

Leverages AI for research and drafting while leading with judgment and trust.

Spotlighting the instructor

Every session, taught live by a practitioner — not pre-recorded.
