Structure. Visibility. Control. Think PRINCE2 for sales — or PMP stateside.
People. Processes. Systems. Aligned. The methodology that decodes what good looks like — now delivered by AI.
Why we exist
You can't see through the fog of the sale.
Your best people win complex, political sales instinctively — but you can’t see how, and you can’t replicate it. Forecasts miss. Time pours into deals that were never going to close.
The difference between your top performers and everyone else isn’t talent. It’s method — and method can be taught.
The CRM tax
CRMs became a tax on sellers' time.
Leadership needed visibility. Sellers needed help winning. The system served neither — it asked sellers to feed a database and gave them nothing back. Activity in, reports out. No method, no coaching, no edge.
“CRMs track what sellers do. SCOTSMAN tracks what customers commit to. That’s the missing link.”
Founder & CEO
Mike Wilkinson
The founder
Mike Wilkinson — building what's next.
Mike led sales transformation at Xerox — building high-performing teams through the rigorous application of methodology, coaching and inspection. He acquired the SCOTSMAN® methodology in 2010 and has codified four decades of decoded top-seller behaviour into a published, trademarked discipline.
Mike and the team are now building SCOTSMAN® AI to put that methodology on every deal, 24/7, in any language — so the 85% sell like the top 15% from day 1.
Selling is a process
So it can be documented
So it can be taught
So it should be coached
And a decoded, coachable process is perfect for AI
“Selling is not a problem — it’s a process. It’s only a problem when it’s not a process.”
What we believe
Four beliefs that shape every decision.
Architecture, not tools
A coherent system — Learn, Plan, Execute — not a drawer of disconnected features.
Decoded, not invented
The work of top performers, captured and made teachable. Not theory — observed practice.
Pioneered every leap
From the classroom, to apps, to an AI coach available 24/7, in any language.
Foundation for both roles
Sellers complete four units. Leaders complete the BLIC programme — the six areas of Sales Process Management.
The Team
Real people. Real credentials.

The platform, and the books that run on it
One platform. Two ways to win. A method you can read.
The platform is the product — it qualifies, plans and runs every deal alongside you. Two companion books show how to use it: one to win the deal, one to win the account — on the foundation of a published, proven method.
Win the deal · Opportunity Coach
Planning a Major Sale with SCOTSMAN® AI
