Get Your Seat

Is it getting harder to get your seat at the table? And harder to keep it?

If the things that used to win business are not landing the way they used to, you are not imagining it. Something has shifted. There is a reason. And there is a way through. That is what we do.

So what’s changed? Buying and selling now span four generations, in-person and digital, with AI deciding who gets seen. This is the next generation of buying and selling. We help everyone in your sales and commercial system engage, communicate, and sell better across digital social selling, hybrid and face-to-face selling, key account management, and everything in between, so buyers choose you with confidence.

Barrett is a consulting and education firm specialising in human-centred, ethical sales systems, strategies, processes and practices. Since 1995 we have been navigating every shift in how buying and selling evolve. Still pioneering. Still proven. Still in the corner of leaders and teams who want to engage, communicate, and sell better, not just sell more. From a key-note or one-day workshop to full commercial transformation, we meet you where you are and build the next generation of buying and selling with you.

Most sales training teaches you to sell more. Barrett shows you how to win more, with more buyers who choose you. The research bears this out. In 2026, we assessed 229 ANZ B2B organisations the way buyers do now, online, and three patterns held across the board:

  • Three in four do not give buyers a clear reason to choose them
  • Every organisation with a value gap also had a competitive positioning gap
  • Those that close the gap carry four times fewer sales problems, stop discounting, and get their seat at the table first

The gap closes faster than most leaders expect, once you know where to look. Book your own audit →

Everybody Lives by Selling Something. Let’s Talk About Getting Your Seat at the Table

Where Teams Get Stuck

Most sales and commercial teams are dealing with at least one of these. Often more than one. Buying committees are bigger. Buyers complete most of their research before speaking to you. AI is accelerating everything – except the human judgement and insight that still win the room.

Getting in the room is harder

  • Buyers can’t find you
  • Buyers who can, aren’t convinced
  • Decision-makers harder to reach
  • Lost in buying committees

Digital & AI Overload

  • Drowning in data, starving for insight
  • Buyers using AI to filter you out
  • More content, more tools, more noise – less traction
  • AI/Tech without strategy or process

Value Translation Gap

  • Buyers can’t discern ‘Why You’
  • Selling features, not outcomes
  • Competing on price, not value
  • Can’t translate to business case

Teams aren’t aligned

  • Sales says one thing, marketing another
  • No unified story from boardroom to frontline
  • Clients confused with mixed messages
  • Wasted handoffs and silos

More Than Training. A Sales and Commercial Capability System for the Next Generation of Buying and Selling

We build the capability that gets you to the table and keeps you there.

Not a workshop that disappears after two days. We build the strategies, language, processes, and discipline that make great selling part of how your organisation operates. Building on what you have. Making it work better. This includes:

  • Strategic Access – We help you map stakeholder landscapes, navigate buying committees, and reach economic buyers. Through go-to-market strategy, sales process mapping, and sales playbooks, we get you into the conversations that matter – before your competitors do.
  • Digital Social Selling – We help your people show up where buyers research, learn, and form opinions long before they take a meeting. Through digital social selling capability, content frameworks, and visible leadership programs, we earn you a place in the buyer’s consideration set before the buyer decides anyone is worth a conversation.
  • Client Engagement – We help you build relationships where clients feel understood, not just served. Through sales and communication programs and commercial capability systems, we turn transactions into partnerships, increase retention, and earn referrals.
  • Team Alignment – We help you create one value story, told consistently across sales, marketing, service, leadership, and online, then translate it for the buyer personas who shape every decision. Through value proposition development, persona mapping, and messaging frameworks, we make sure your team speaks with one voice and meets every buyer where they are. Certainty closes more deals.

What This Delivers

Here’s what changes when Barrett is in your corner:

  • New hires ramp faster – Less time figuring out how you sell. More time selling.

  • Best people stay – Your top performers grow, not grind.

  • Consistency replaces heroics – Results become repeatable, not reliant on a few stars

  • Buyers get the same clarity from everyone – Whether they speak to sales, marketing, or service – one voice, one message.

  • You stop competing on price – Your value lands clearly. Buyers choose you for what you deliver, not how low you go.

That is how you win more. And win better.

By choosing Barrett you will be able to:

Lead with Impact

Develop leaders who create the clarity, accountability, and culture that turn capable teams into high-performing ones – and keep your people engaged and growing.

Build High-Performing Culture

Break down silos. Build the communication, emotional intelligence, and shared purpose that turns internal alignment into external competitive advantage.

Sell with Insight, So Clients Choose You

Move beyond price discussions to conversations that make clients want to choose you – connecting what you offer to what they need to achieve, so every interaction builds confidence, creates value, and wins more business.

Equip Teams with Practical Tools

Move beyond theory. Deploy proven frameworks, sales processes, and playbooks that your people will actually use – driving engagement, retaining clients, and delivering measurable results.

Craft Messages That Get You Chosen

Develop the go-to-market strategy and value messaging that makes buyers feel certain you are the right choice, not just one of several.

Build Relationships That Last

Transform client interactions into enduring partnerships built on genuine trust and mutual value – the kind that drives retention, referrals, and long-term commercial outcomes.
