Performance Under Pressure

The Highest-Pressure Moments Demand the Best Communicators.

Braintrust helps sellers close and leaders coach in the highest-pressure conversations they face. Our programs are rooted in neuroscience, not just technique, because the brain under pressure doesn’t follow a playbook.

The results we deliver transform entire organizations, but it always begins with your people.

The Real Problem

Training doesn't fail in the classroom. It fails in the moment.

Most sales training and leadership programs teach frameworks, acronyms, and role-play scripts.

Your people memorize them, pass the quiz, and then walk into a high-stakes conversation where none of it shows up.

That’s not a discipline problem.

It’s a neuroscience problem.

Under pressure, the brain shifts into self-preservation mode, and everything your people practiced disappears.

72%

of B2B deals end in “no’ or “no decision”.

Not because sellers don’t know the product. Because they can’t connect to the buyer’s brain when it matters most.

79%

of employees don’t trust their leadership.

Leaders under stress revert to command-and-control. The coaching conversation collapses into a directive.

87%

of buyers feel salespeople don’t understand them. 

Pressure makes people self-focused. The brain defaults to pitching when it should be listening.

Traditional training teaches tactics.

Tactics fail when the amygdala fires and your rep's brain goes into self-preservation mode.

We train the nervous system.

NeuroSelling® and NeuroCoaching® build communication patterns the brain can access under stress.

The result is different behavior.

In the room, on the call, and in the 1:1 conversation, not just in the workshop.

We guarantee it.

Our programs come with a performance guarantee because the science works.

The Braintrust Difference

We don't just teach people what to say. We rewire how they show up when the pressure is on.

Your organization’s growth is determined by two kinds of conversations: the ones your sellers have with buyers, and the ones your leaders have with their teams. Both happen under pressure. Both require trust. And both are governed by the same neuroscience.

Braintrust is the only company that applies neuroscience and behavioral psychology to both sides of that equation, so your people communicate with clarity, empathy, and impact in the conversations that determine your growth.

Most Organizations Struggle With Similar Growth Barriers

We will help you overcome those barriers by leveraging the power of neuroscience and behavioral psychology... and our programs work so well, we back it up with a performance guarantee.
