Introduction
Behavioral research suggests that the most effective people are those who understand
themselves, both their strengths and weaknesses, so they can develop strategies to meet
the demands of their environment.
A person's behavior is a necessary and integral part of who they are. In other words, much of our
behavior comes from "nature" (inherent), and much comes from "nurture" (our upbringing). It is
the universal language of "how we act," or our observable human behavior.
In this report we are measuring four dimensions of normal behavior. They are:
How you respond to problems and challenges.
How you influence others to your point of view.
How you respond to the pace of the environment.
How you respond to rules and procedures set by others.
This report analyzes behavioral style; that is, a person's manner of doing things. Is the report
100% true? Yes, no and maybe. We are only measuring behavior. We only report statements
from areas of behavior in which tendencies are shown. To improve accuracy, feel free to make
notes or edit the report regarding any statement from the report that may or may not apply, but
only after checking with friends or colleagues to see if they agree.
"All people exhibit all four behavioral
factors in varying degrees of intensity."
–W.M. Marston

Sales Characteristics
Based on Craig's responses, the report has selected general statements to provide a
broad understanding of his sales style. This section highlights how he deals with
preparation, presentation, handling objections, closing, and servicing. The statements
identify the natural sales style he brings to the job. Eliminate or modify any statement
that is not true based on sales training or experience.
Craig sets high sales goals for himself and others. Being optimistic, he may set
them too high. However, if he develops a plan and follows that plan, he usually
will deliver the results. He prefers to sell a new client on himself first rather than
his product or service. This reflects his natural approach. When he buys, he
also prefers to be sold in this manner. He maintains a high trust level; that is,
he trusts that people will make good on their promises. Inclined to talk
smoothly, readily and at length, he loves the opportunity to verbalize. Sales
presents an opportunity for him to use this great attribute. Detail work is not
Craig's forte. He enjoys "people over things" and may procrastinate when faced
with time-consuming, detail work. He prefers to be evaluated on his results, not
the paper work. He consistently meets the challenge of persuading people to
his point of view. Some buyers may desire less talk and more facts. He likes
cold calls because they present a challenge. He feels his verbal skills will help
him win. Every cold call provides an opportunity to win friends and influence
people.
Craig frequently uses emotion and active body language in his sales
presentation. With some buyers this could be detrimental because they may
see him as being superficial. Some see him as a natural born salesperson but
what they really see is his ability to talk smoothly and readily on most subjects.
He quickly shares his opinion on most topics. He experiences difficulty in telling
a prospect that he doesn't have the answer to the prospect's objections. His
natural sales style attempts to answer the objections even if he lacks the proper
data to do so. He would rather take the risk than admit failure. He may use
humor in his presentation, which may help or hinder, based on the style of the
buyer. Excessive humor may cause him to ramble and not provide sufficient
time for the presentation. Craig should learn to follow all objections with a
question. This will allow him time to prepare his answer and help clarify the
prospect's actual objection. If he gets into one of his "oversell" modes, he may
cause the objections to be raised. However, he will welcome the objections and
answer them to the best of his ability.

Sales Characteristics Continued
Craig may be positive and direct with his closes. He will be friendly and
persistent as he attempts to close the sale. He can be seen as a good closer.
However, he may postpone the close until giving the complete sales pitch.
Observers have actually seen him sell the product and then buy it back. He
should guard against excessive talking and close at the appropriate time. He
probably has several favorite closes. He needs to evaluate the way he is using
them and if they are appropriate to the sales situation. If given the choice, he
would prefer to sell a new account instead of servicing an old account. This is
especially true if the old account has little potential or requires sufficient facts
and data to support their purchase decisions. Craig can be guilty of
overservicing the accounts he feels are personal friends. To him, friendship is
important and he may overlook certain requests to maintain the friendship. He
would rather make a social visit instead of a service visit. The social visit meets
his need to be friendly and outgoing, while the service visit requires special
effort if customers don't buy more products or services.

Keys to Managing
In this section are some needs which must be met in order for Craig to perform at an
optimum level. Some needs can be met by himself, while management must provide
for others. It is difficult for a person to enter a motivational environment when that

and identify 3 or 4 statements that are most important to him. This allows Craig to
participate in forming his own personal management plan.
Craig needs:
Support in doing excessive detail work.
Objectivity in managing a sales territory.
Authority equal to responsibility.
To be informed of things which affect him.
Restraints or program to calculate the risk involved by his decisions.
More control of body language.

A tolerant sales manager.
People to work and associate with.
Documentation of expected sales results.
Bottom-line measurement.
To relax and pace himself.

Wheel
The Success Insights® Wheel is a powerful tool popularized in Europe. In addition to the text you
have received about your behavioral style, the Wheel adds a visual representation that allows you
to:
View your natural behavioral style (circle).
View your adapted behavioral style (star).
Note the degree you are adapting your behavior.
If you filled out the Work Environment Analysis, view the relationship of your behavior to your
job.
Notice on the next page that your Natural style (circle) and your Adapted style (star) are plotted on
the Wheel. If they are plotted in different boxes, then you are adapting your behavior. The further
the two plotting points are from each other, the more you are adapting your behavior.
If you are part of a group or team who also took the behavioral assessment, it would be
advantageous to get together, using each person's Wheel, and make a master Wheel that
contains each person's Natural and Adapted style. This allows you to quickly see where conflict
can occur. You will also be able to identify where communication, understanding and
appreciation can be increased.

  • 1. Sales Craig McClain Sales Representative 6-19-2015 www.newwings.com New Wings, L.P. 1901 Las Entradas Spicewood, TX 78669 972-989-0957 steve@newwings.com Copyright © 1984-2015. Target Training International, Ltd.
  • 2. Introduction Behavioral research suggests that the most effective people are those who understand themselves, both their strengths and weaknesses, so they can develop strategies to meet the demands of their environment. A person's behavior is a necessary and integral part of who they are. In other words, much of our behavior comes from "nature" (inherent), and much comes from "nurture" (our upbringing). It is the universal language of "how we act," or our observable human behavior. In this report we are measuring four dimensions of normal behavior. They are: How you respond to problems and challenges. How you influence others to your point of view. How you respond to the pace of the environment. How you respond to rules and procedures set by others. This report analyzes behavioral style; that is, a person's manner of doing things. Is the report 100% true? Yes, no and maybe. We are only measuring behavior. We only report statements from areas of behavior in which tendencies are shown. To improve accuracy, feel free to make notes or edit the report regarding any statement from the report that may or may not apply, but only after checking with friends or colleagues to see if they agree. "All people exhibit all four behavioral factors in varying degrees of intensity." –W.M. Marston 1 Craig McClain Copyright © 1984-2015. Target Training International, Ltd. New Wings, L.P. 972-989-0957 steve@newwings.com
  • 3. Sales Characteristics Based on Craig's responses, the report has selected general statements to provide a broad understanding of his sales style. This section highlights how he deals with preparation, presentation, handling objections, closing, and servicing. The statements identify the natural sales style he brings to the job. Eliminate or modify any statement that is not true based on sales training or experience. Craig sets high sales goals for himself and others. Being optimistic, he may set them too high. However, if he develops a plan and follows that plan, he usually will deliver the results. He prefers to sell a new client on himself first rather than his product or service. This reflects his natural approach. When he buys, he also prefers to be sold in this manner. He maintains a high trust level; that is, he trusts that people will make good on their promises. Inclined to talk smoothly, readily and at length, he loves the opportunity to verbalize. Sales presents an opportunity for him to use this great attribute. Detail work is not Craig's forte. He enjoys "people over things" and may procrastinate when faced with time-consuming, detail work. He prefers to be evaluated on his results, not the paper work. He consistently meets the challenge of persuading people to his point of view. Some buyers may desire less talk and more facts. He likes cold calls because they present a challenge. He feels his verbal skills will help him win. Every cold call provides an opportunity to win friends and influence people. Craig frequently uses emotion and active body language in his sales presentation. With some buyers this could be detrimental because they may see him as being superficial. Some see him as a natural born salesperson but what they really see is his ability to talk smoothly and readily on most subjects. He quickly shares his opinion on most topics. He experiences difficulty in telling a prospect that he doesn't have the answer to the prospect's objections. His natural sales style attempts to answer the objections even if he lacks the proper data to do so. He would rather take the risk than admit failure. He may use humor in his presentation, which may help or hinder, based on the style of the buyer. Excessive humor may cause him to ramble and not provide sufficient time for the presentation. Craig should learn to follow all objections with a question. This will allow him time to prepare his answer and help clarify the prospect's actual objection. If he gets into one of his "oversell" modes, he may cause the objections to be raised. However, he will welcome the objections and answer them to the best of his ability.

Target Training International, Ltd. New Wings, L.P. 972-989-0957 steve@newwings.com
  • 4. Sales Characteristics Continued Craig may be positive and direct with his closes. He will be friendly and persistent as he attempts to close the sale. He can be seen as a good closer. However, he may postpone the close until giving the complete sales pitch. Observers have actually seen him sell the product and then buy it back. He should guard against excessive talking and close at the appropriate time. He probably has several favorite closes. He needs to evaluate the way he is using them and if they are appropriate to the sales situation. If given the choice, he would prefer to sell a new account instead of servicing an old account. This is especially true if the old account has little potential or requires sufficient facts and data to support their purchase decisions. Craig can be guilty of overservicing the accounts he feels are personal friends. To him, friendship is important and he may overlook certain requests to maintain the friendship. He would rather make a social visit instead of a service visit. The social visit meets his need to be friendly and outgoing, while the service visit requires special effort if customers don't buy more products or services.

  • 23. The Success Insights ® Wheel The Success Insights® Wheel is a powerful tool popularized in Europe. In addition to the text you have received about your behavioral style, the Wheel adds a visual representation that allows you to: View your natural behavioral style (circle). View your adapted behavioral style (star). Note the degree you are adapting your behavior. If you filled out the Work Environment Analysis, view the relationship of your behavior to your job. Notice on the next page that your Natural style (circle) and your Adapted style (star) are plotted on the Wheel. If they are plotted in different boxes, then you are adapting your behavior. The further the two plotting points are from each other, the more you are adapting your behavior. If you are part of a group or team who also took the behavioral assessment, it would be advantageous to get together, using each person's Wheel, and make a master Wheel that contains each person's Natural and Adapted style. This allows you to quickly see where conflict can occur. You will also be able to identify where communication, understanding and appreciation can be increased. 22 Craig McClain Copyright © 1992-2015. Target Training International, Ltd.
