Force Management Launches Ascender AI to Power its Sales Acceleration Platform with Built-In Intelligence

The AI assistant embedded in Ascender^® delivers personalized coaching combined with search, backed by Force Management’s proven sales methodologies.

CHARLOTTE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Force Management, a leader in elite sales effectiveness solutions, today announced the launch of Ascender AI, a powerful new capability within its Ascender^® revenue acceleration platform. Ascender AI delivers intelligent, real-time coaching and content navigation, enabling sellers and sales leaders to drive consistent execution, reinforce training and improve outcomes across the organization.

“Ascender AI acts as a personal learning assistant inside the platform, using our courses, articles and materials to answer questions and recommend content,” explains Morgan Haley, Vice President of Product Development at Force Management. “Think of it as a mix of a coach and search tool, tailored to each learner’s history that makes every seller more confident, consistent, and self-sufficient.”

Ascender AI is built with Force Management’s gold-standard methodologies—trusted coursework, certifications, and content that drive elite sales performance. Unlike public AI tools that scrape the internet for information, Ascender AI provides precise guidance rooted in each user’s unique learning history, combined with Force Management’s proven programs such as MEDDICC and Command of the Message^®.

“Ascender AI gives sellers instant access to the guidance they need to solve real-world selling challenges,” said Paul Giaconia, Chief Product Officer at Force Management. “It’s like having a personal coach that’s always available—ready to reinforce skills, answer questions, and help sellers apply Force Management methodologies in the moment. For organizations, it means scalable enablement, stronger alignment, and greater impact.”

The new AI assistant is available on Ascender, Force Management’s sales acceleration and eLearning platform that accelerates adoption and reinforces each company’s customized training engagement. The platform is used by sales professionals, managers, and enablement leaders across industries to drive performance and scale consistent execution.
