What Founding Contenders Are

Founding Contenders are the initial participants in US Sales Nationals, the first public, AI-evaluated benchmark for sales performance. They compete before the field thickens, before norms solidify, before outcomes become familiar
The Nature of the Competition
Same Conditions:
  • one buyer scenario
  • one AI decision-maker
  • one consistent scoring logic
Comparison becomes inevitable. Judgment becomes transparent.
The Role of AI
  • a relentless sparring partner
  • an impartial referee
  • a mirror that does not flatter
Not replacement. Amplification.
The Significance of the First Cohort
  • establish the reference distribution
  • define what “strong” actually means
  • carry the permanent signal of having been first
That window is finite.

Who This Is For

This is for sales professionals who: carried real quota responsibility, sold under genuine pressure are at ease being evaluated without protective narrative
This is neither training, nor recruitment, nor spectacle.
What Founding Contenders Receive
  • Permanent designation as Founding Contender
  • Participation in the inaugural cohort
  • Early access to new scenarios and formats
  • Opt-in visibility into personal ranking and percentile
No discounts. No incentives. Only signal.
What Is Required
  • Individual participation (not a company program)
  • Completion of one benchmark scenario
  • Acceptance of public percentile ranking
No preparation materials are supplied. The measurement is the purpose.

The Window

Founding Contender enrollment is confined to the inaugural season.  When the benchmark hardens, this designation closes permanently.
Invitation
