Salespeople today are increasingly overworked,
stressed, fearful and nervous.
The skills learned in school or on the job years ago are NOT
applicable in today's ever changing global market.
(c) Scivantage, Inc. 2014 22
Most salespeople don’t know what their real
problems are and often clueless about the best
solution
(c) Scivantage, Inc. 2014 23
As a result, most salespeople massively
underperform their sales potential
(c) Scivantage, Inc. 2014 24
Most salespeople want to make major changes in their sales career and life, but don’t know how.
(c) Scivantage, Inc. 2014 25
Most salespeople FAIL to achieve sales success and financial wealth, regardless of industry or product.
And, most new businesses FAIL:• 50% of all businesses fail within 1st year• 80% of all businesses fail within 5 years• 96% of all businesses fail within 10 years
(c) Scivantage, Inc. 2014 26

Are top sales performers 10 times better, 10 times smarter or work 10 times longer?
(c) Scivantage, Inc. 2014 41
20% of becoming a Millionaire Sales Entrepreneur is
mastering sales “mechanics”
(prospecting, qualifying, asking questions, presentation,
overcoming objections, closing)
(c) Scivantage, Inc. 2014 42
80% of becoming a Millionaire Sales Entrepreneur is mastering “sales
psychology”
(c) Scivantage, Inc. 2014 43
PSYCHOLOGY MATTERS MORE THAN MECHANICS
105 Career Professional Wins
78 Career PGA Tour Wins (#2 in history)
Ranked #1 Golfer in World in 2013
Ranked #1 Highest Paid Athlete in World in 2013 by Forbes
$78 million in 2013 earnings
From December 2009 to April 2010, Tiger Woods took leave from professional golf to focus on his marriage after admitting infidelity.
This was followed by a loss of “psychology” and golf form, and his ranking gradually fell to a low of #58 in November 2011.
(c) Scivantage, Inc. 2014 44
Where should you FOCUS?
• Sales Mechanics? (prospecting, qualifying, presentation, overcoming objections, closing)
• Sales Psychology? (attitude, beliefs, self image, self esteem, customer psychology, overcoming fear of failure/rejection, etc.)
(c) Scivantage, Inc. 2014 45
Salespeople who are just 1% better on a
consistent basis can generate 10x more
sales
(c) Scivantage, Inc. 2014 46
SMALL CHANGES CREATE BIG RESULTS
1% Solution – small changes in your thinking,
actions and ability can results in ENORMOUS differences in results.
(c) Scivantage, Inc. 2014 47
Examples:• Horse wins race by a “nose” and
earns 10X the purse winnings that 2nd place horse earns
• Baseball players who get 1 extra hit in 12 at bats earn millions of dollars more in annual salary
(3 of 12 = .250 batting avg)
(4 of 12 = .333 batting avg)
(c) Scivantage, Inc. 2014 48
Sales is a “WINNER TAKE ALL GAME” - small
advantages can help you WIN consistently, putting
you in the top 20%, then top 4% and eventually top 1%.
(c) Scivantage, Inc. 2014 49
