The CoNavigator Method™

Navigating Success Together

The CoNavigator Method is a buyer-centric approach to B2B selling, sales coaching, and sales management, built from a dozen top-performer analyses that Mike Kunkle conducted from 2003 through 2019. It reflects what the top 4% of B2B sellers and sales managers do differently than everyone else. Organizations that have implemented it have seen revenue growth of 12–34% within 6–9 months.

Top performers don’t push buyers. They don’t even really pull them. They co-navigate the buying and sales process with them.

What Makes It Different

  • Built on top-performer research: grounded in what the best sellers and managers actually do, not in one person’s success story or what sounds good in theory.
  • Buyer-centric at every step: sellers learn to work in their buyers’ and customers’ best interests, from first contact through account growth. You won’t find seller-centric terms like objections or closing.
  • Full customer lifecycle: new business development, opportunity management, and account management in one connected system, not a single-stage method.
  • Designed for application: content summaries, worksheets, and job aids help people apply what they learn to their own buyers, deals, and accounts.
  • Teaches people to think: it develops judgment, adaptability, and critical thinking rather than relying on scripts and playbooks.

Three Programs

The method is organized into three programs: B2B Sales Mastery, Sales Coaching Mastery, and Sales Management Mastery. Each will be available as a book and as eLearning. Learn more about the programs.

Who It’s For

  • Sellers: B2B salespeople who want to improve their performance and deliver more value to their buyers and customers
  • Sales managers: frontline managers who want to coach and develop their teams more effectively
  • Sales leaders and executives: heads of sales of any title, CEOs, and founders who want a scalable, buyer-centric methodology based on how the very best perform
  • Enablement and operations professionals: those who support sales performance and want a methodology that holds up in the field

The path to success isn’t a solo mission. It’s a journey best navigated together.
