Introduction Where Opportunity Meets Talent®
The TTI Success Insights® Behaviors and Motivators Report was designed to increase the
understanding of an individual's talents. The report provides insight to two distinct areas:
behaviors and motivators. Understanding strengths and weaknesses in both of these areas will
lead to personal and professional development and a higher level of satisfaction.
The following is an in-depth look at your personal talents in the two main sections:
Behaviors
This section of the report is designed to help you attain a greater knowledge of yourself as well as
others. The ability to interact effectively with people may be the difference between success and
failure in your work and personal life. Effective interaction starts with an accurate perception of
oneself.
Motivators
This section of the report provides information on the why of your actions, which with application
and coaching, can tremendously impact your valuing of life. Once you know the motivations that
drive your actions, you will immediately be able to understand the causes of conflict.

Introduction Behaviors Section
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 Erik'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.
Erik becomes highly excited about what influences him. He usually displays
this emotion when he is attempting to influence people. Socially and verbally
aggressive, he loves to meet strangers and begin conversations. This is a
great attribute when new territory is opened, or new accounts are dictated by
business conditions. Detail work is not Erik'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. Erik may be seen as somewhat impulsive.
He likes new products and often is the first in his neighborhood to buy the latest
things. He prefers to sell new, innovative products or services. In fact, he often
uses creative ways to sell his products or services. 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.
Erik may not answer objections completely. He often treats them lightly and
may "tap dance" around the objections or use sales puffery to answer them. He
may use sales aids with his presentation. His usage sometimes depends on his
ability to be organized; that is, he occasionally forgets to replenish his supply of
sales aids or feels he can verbalize the presentation without them. He
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. He succeeds in projecting self-confidence in his sales
presentations. This self-confidence evolves from his belief in himself and his
products or services. This may cause him to become frustrated if a prospect
attacks either him or his product. 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. 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.

Sales Characteristics Continued
Erik may promise more than he can deliver to close a sale. He does intend to
deliver what he says, but he has difficulty finding the time to provide what he
promises. His optimism makes him believe he can deliver. 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. Erik's listening skills may cause him to miss some closing opportunities.
He may be thinking about what he is going to say next and miss the buying
signal. He 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. Erik probably has several favorite closes. He needs to
evaluate the way he is using them and if they are appropriate to the sales
situation. Sometimes he tries too hard to accommodate the buyer with service.
He will resent his effort if the account doesn't live up to its potential.

Behavioral Selling
Overview
The Behavioral Selling Overview reflects Erik's natural and adapted styles within each phase of
the Behavioral Selling Model. Erik's natural style reflects his native, intuitive selling behavior.
Erik's adapted scores reflect the behavior that Erik believes necessary in each phase of
behavioral selling.
The level of effectiveness that Erik either possesses naturally or is able to modify or "mask" is
also shown. The higher the score, the more effective Erik is at that phase of the sale. The lower
the score, the greater challenge Erik has in terms of delivering specific behavior required for
success within that phase.
The amount of difference between a salesperson's adapted and natural styles is also key. The
greater the difference, the greater potential for stress.

Potential Strengths or Obstacles to
Behavioral Selling Success
The Behavioral Selling Model is a scientific, professional selling process. The
Behavioral Selling Overview outlines Erik's performance tendencies within each
specific phase of the Behavioral Selling Model.
Prospecting: The first phase of the Behavioral Selling Model. It is the phase of
the sale where prospects are identified, detailed background information is
gathered, the physical activity of traditional prospecting is coordinated and an
overall strategy for face-to-face selling is developed.
In the Prospecting Phase, Erik MAY have a TENDENCY to:
Not do a thorough and/or objective job of evaluating the potential of a
prospect.
Have a great deal of trouble in managing the travel detail and challenges
of territory management.
Be unrealistically optimistic in appraising the promise, potential, credit and
long term value of an account.
Work primarily from referrals and existing business rather than run the risk
of facing the hostility of rejection from new prospects.
First Impression: The first face-to-face interaction between a prospect and the
salesperson, this phase is designed to enable the salesperson to display his or
her sincere interest in the prospect...to gain positive acceptance and to develop
a sense of mutual respect and rapport. It is the first phase of face-to-face trust
building and sets the face-to-face selling process in motion.
In the First Impression Phase, Erik MAY have a TENDENCY to:
Prefer to sell a new account over servicing an old account. This is
especially true if the old account has little potential or requires an ongoing
supply of detail facts and data to support their continued purchase
decisions.
Rely on style, dress, interpersonal and verbal skills rather than in
displaying a sincere interest in the prospect on a one-on-one basis.
Miss verbal and non-verbal buying signals.

Potential Strengths or Obstacles to
Behavioral Selling Success
Be very optimistic and enthusiastic and is good at generating the same
enthusiasm in others. Sometimes his exuberance is what sells his
product or services. Occasionally, however, buyers may be offended by
his overuse of energized optimism.
Qualifying: The questioning and detailed needs analysis phase of the
face-to-face sale, this phase of the Behavioral Selling Model enables the
salesperson to discover what the prospect will buy, when they will buy and
under what conditions they will buy. It is allowing the prospect to identify and
verbalize their level of interest, specific wants and detailed needs in the product
or service the salesperson is offering.
In the Qualifying Phase, Erik MAY have a TENDENCY to:
Think in terms of the big picture and to look for big picture solutions rather
than specific, detailed solutions to problems.
Ask questions that will allow him to proceed with his own agenda.
Tune out others and to tune in only to himself.
Prematurely jump to the Demonstration Phase, thereby violating the first
rule of behavioral selling. May also make his entire presentation in a
non-sequential, random order.
Demonstration: Much different from traditional "demonstration" or "product
presentation," this phase allows the salesperson to demonstrate his or her
product knowledge in such a way that it fulfills the stated or implied wants,
needs, or intentions of the prospect as identified and verbalized in the
Qualifying Phase.
In the Demonstration Phase, Erik MAY have a TENDENCY to:
Demonstrate things that his product or service will do that may not have
anything to do with the prospect's real needs.
Use emotion in his sales presentation. This is often coupled with
excessive gestures. This could prove to be detrimental with some buyers.
They may see him as being too superficial.
Oversell or talk his way out of a sale by focusing on irrelevant things.

Potential Strengths or Obstacles to
Behavioral Selling Success
Not have all the necessary brochures and collateral sales tools available.
Influence: What people believe enough, they act upon. This phase is designed
to enable the salesperson to build value and overcome the tendency that many
prospects have to place little belief or trust in what is told to them. It is this
phase of the sale that solidifies the prospect's belief in the supplier, product or
service and salesperson.
In the Influence Phase, Erik MAY have a TENDENCY to:
Stress benefits that are important to him, rather than identifying those that
are important to the prospect.
Overly rely on friendship to make the sale.
Tell the complete story and miss closing opportunities.
Overlook asking satisfied customers to help in securing new prospects or
to ask for positive letters of satisfaction.
Closing: The final phase of the Behavioral Selling Model. This phase is asking
the prospect to buy, dealing with objections, handling any necessary negotiation
and completing the transaction to mutual satisfaction.
In the Closing Phase, Erik MAY have a TENDENCY to:
Promise more then he can ever possibly deliver in order to close a sale.
He fully intends to deliver what he says, but he has difficulty finding the
time to deliver on his promises. His optimism always makes him believe
he can fulfill any promise.
Not clarify what he thinks he hears when an objection is raised. He needs
to follow all objections with a question to clarify what he actually heard
and to determine what the prospect is really saying.
Be positive and direct with closing questions. Specifically, he will be both
friendly and persistent as he attempts to close the sale.
Cause objections to be raised if he gets into one of his oversell modes.
However, he will welcome the objections and answer them to the best of
his ability.

Natural and Adapted
Selling Style
Erik's natural selling style of dealing with problems, people, pace and procedures may
not always fit the sales environment. This section is extremely important as it will
identify if a salesperson's natural style or adapted style is correct for the current sales
environment.
PROBLEMS - CHALLENGES
Natural Adapted
Erik is somewhat conservative in his
approach to solving problems and
usually doesn't push potential
prospects to make quick high-risk
decisions. He will accept challenges
by being quite calculating in his
response to the challenge. He will
be quite cooperative by nature and
attempt to avoid confrontation as he
wants to be seen as a salesperson
who is "easy" to work with.
Erik sees no need to change his
sales approach from his basic style
as it is related to solving problems
and challenges.
PEOPLE - CONTACTS
Natural Adapted
Erik is enthusiastic about his ability
to influence others. He prefers an
environment in which he has the
opportunity to deal with different
types of individuals. He is trusting
and also wants to be trusted.
Erik sees no need to change his
approach to influencing others to his
way of thinking. He sees his natural
style to be what the environment is
calling for.

Selling Style Continued
PACE - CONSISTENCY
Natural Adapted
Erik enjoys a sales environment that
needs a consistent approach. He
will change approach if the new
direction is meaningful and
consistent with past experience. He
enjoys selling quality products that
he feels are reliable and dependable.
Erik feels that the sales environment
doesn't require him to alter the way
he deals with activity level and
consistency.
PROCEDURES - CONSTRAINTS
Natural Adapted
Erik is striving to be independent and
self-directed. He is most comfortable
in a sales environment where rules
and procedures can be interpreted to
meet the needs of his customer in
certain situations.
The difference between Erik's basic
and adapted sales style is not
significant and he sees no need to
change on this factor.

Keys to Motivating
This section of the report was produced by analyzing Erik's wants. People are
motivated by the things they want; thus, wants that are satisfied no longer motivate.

present "wants."
Erik wants:
Rewards to support his dreams.
No close supervision.
Freedom from many rules and regulations.
No restrictions to hamper results.
Flattery, praise, popularity and strokes.
Freedom from control and detail.
Exposure to those who appreciate his sales results.
Participation in meetings on future planning.
Freedom to talk and participate in sales meetings.
Sales meetings that allow him to ventilate his emotions.
A manager who practices participative management.

Keys to Managing
In this section are some needs which must be met in order for Erik 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
person's basic management needs have not been fulfilled. Review the list with Erik
and identify 3 or 4 statements that are most important to him. This allows Erik to
participate in forming his own personal management plan.
Erik needs:
To focus conversations on work activities--less socializing.
Documentation of expected sales results.
Better organization of record keeping.
To handle routine paperwork only once.
To relax and pace himself.
Bottom-line measurement.
Recognition that limits and rules do exist (and why).
Help on controlling time and setting priorities.
To be informed of things which affect him.
To maintain focus on results and not sacrifice productivity just to make
everyone happy.
Objectivity in managing a sales territory.

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.

Introduction Motivators Section
Knowledge of an individual's motivators and attitudes help to tell us WHY they do things.
A review of an individual's experiences, references, education and training help to tell us
WHAT they can do. Behavioral assessments help to tell us HOW a person behaves and
performs in the work environment. This report measures the relative prominence of six
basic interests or motivators (a way of valuing life): Theoretical, Utilitarian, Aesthetic,
Social, Individualistic and Traditional.
Motivators help to initiate one's behavior and are sometimes called the hidden motivators
because they are not always readily observed. It is the purpose of this report to help illuminate
and amplify some of those motivating factors and to build on the strengths that each person
brings to the work environment.
Based on your choices, this report ranks your relative passion for each of the six motivators. Your
top two and sometimes three motivators cause you to move into action. You will feel positive
when talking, listening or doing activities that satisfy your top motivators.
The feedback you will receive in this section will reflect one of three intensity levels for each of the
six motivators.
Strong - positive feelings that you need to satisfy either on or off the job.
Situational - where your feelings will range from positive to indifferent based on other priorities
in your life at the time. These motivators tend to become more important as your top
motivators are satisfied.
Indifferent - your feelings will be indifferent when related to your 5th or 6th motivator.
Your Personal Motivators Ranking
1st Individualistic Strong
2nd Traditional Strong
3rd Social Situational
4th Aesthetic Situational
5th Utilitarian Indifferent
6th Theoretical Indifferent

Individualistic/Political
The primary interest for this value is POWER. Research studies indicate that leaders
in most fields have a high power value. Since competition and struggle play a large
part in all areas of life, many philosophers have seen power as the most universal and
most fundamental of motives. There are, however, certain personalities in whom the
desire for direct expression of this motive is uppermost; who wish, above all, for
personal power, influence and renown.
General Characteristics
Erik has a strong desire to be his own person.
He surprises others with spontaneous ideas or responses.

Aesthetic
A higher Aesthetic score indicates a relative interest in "form and harmony." Each
experience is judged from the standpoint of grace, symmetry or fitness. Life may be
regarded as a procession of events, and each is enjoyed for its own sake. A high
score here does not necessarily mean that the incumbent has talents in creative
artistry. It indicates a primary interest in the artistic episodes of life.
General Characteristics

without being an extremist.
The need for and appreciation of beauty is determined on an individual
basis and is not generalized in terms of the total work around him.
Has an interest in form and harmony, but also understands there may be
more important factors when making decisions.
Can support and understand the positions of individuals with either higher
or lower Aesthetic scores.

individuals on the team.

Utilitarian/Economic
The Utilitarian/Economic score shows a characteristic interest in money and what is
useful. This means that an individual wants to have the security that money brings not
only for themselves, but for their present and future family. This value includes the
practical affairs of the business world - the production, marketing and consumption of
goods, the use of credit, and the accumulation of tangible wealth. This type of
individual is thoroughly practical and conforms well to the stereotype of the average
businessperson. A person with a high score is likely to have a high need to surpass
others in wealth.
General Characteristics
Since this value's area may help to determine one's money-motivation,
the results indicate that Erik may be motivated more by things other than
a high paycheck (although that may still be important.)
Check the full results and graph to determine those values that were
ranked in a higher field than the Utilitarian/Economic area.
Erik's score indicates a lower interest in materialistic things, or that he has
already achieved a level of material security.
While not driven by money, he may be sensitive to perceived inequities in
wages and salaries, and does not want to be taken advantage of in that
process.
Using money or materials as a yardstick to measure or impress others is
not important.
Tends to be easy-going and supportive of others on the team.
Motivated by money to have needs met, but money itself is not a primary
driving factor.
Value to the Organization
Sees a wider spectrum of the picture, not just the economic view.
Has a high want, desire, and need to help people. (Internal or external to
the organization.)
Rarely (if ever) looks at a project with a "what's in it for me?" perspective.
Enjoys monetary compensation, but especially enjoys a different type of
paycheck: perhaps that of someone saying, "Thank you very much for
helping me."
Sensitive and responsive to the "people-side" of work related activities.
Has an attitude of "We're all in this together, so let's work together."

Theoretical
The primary drivers with this value are the discovery of KNOWLEDGE and appetite for
LEARNING. In pursuit of this value, an individual takes a "cognitive" attitude. Such an
individual is nonjudgmental regarding the beauty or utility of objects and seeks only to
observe and to reason. Since the interests of the theoretical person are empirical,
critical and rational, the person appears to be an intellectual. The chief aim in life is to
order and systematize knowledge: knowledge for the sake of knowledge.

Aware of job parameters and details, but prefers to learn only that which
is necessary to complete the job assignment.
Will learn those things necessary for the successful completion of the job
tasks, and may not desire to go further into specific details or theory.
May rely on intuition in making decisions, rather than getting bogged
down in theory and minutia.
May leave specific details of a project to others on the team, and place
trust in their coaching and judgment when decisions are made.
May prefer to spend his time and energy on tasks other than gaining
knowledge about the fine-tuned technical details of products and services.
May learn more by doing and observing than in traditional learning
situations.
May bring a high sense of urgency to the task. Wants to learn and get the
job done quickly.
Likes to spend time learning things that have a direct impact on what he
needs to accomplish as a professional.
May prefer to work on many things with only partial stakes, rather than
getting bogged down in only one function or role.
Value to the Organization
May bring a constant sense of efficiency to specific job tasks.
Ability to perform many jobs and tasks with little training or assistance.
Doesn't waste time on information that is not needed for the task.
Focused on the task, goal or vision, and completes his responsibility on
schedule.
Can get people on board for a cause.

Motivators - Norms & Comparisons
For years you have heard statements like, "Different strokes for different folks," "to each his own,"
and "people do things for their own reasons, not yours." When you are surrounded by people
who share similar values, you will fit in with the group and be energized. However, when
surrounded by people whose values are significantly different from yours, you may be perceived
as out of the mainstream. If the differences are understood, each brings strengths to the
equation. If not understood, these differences can induce stress or conflict. When confronted
with this type of situation you can:
Change the situation.
Change your perception of the situation.
Leave the situation.
Cope with the situation.
This section reveals areas where your values may be outside the mainstream and could lead to
conflict. The further away you are from the mainstream on the high side, the more people will
notice your passion about that value. The further away from the mainstream on the low side, the
more people will view you as indifferent and possibly negative about that value. The shaded area
for each value represents 68 percent of the population or scores that fall within one standard
deviation above or below the national mean.

  • 1. Behaviors and Motivators Sales Version Erik Wilson Account Executive 12-22-2014 "Achievement Begins With Action" Action Learning Corporation PO Box 1089 Prior Lake, MN 55372 952.445.8604 Greg@ActionLearning.biz Copyright © 1984-2013. Target Training International, Ltd.
  • 2. Introduction Where Opportunity Meets Talent® The TTI Success Insights® Behaviors and Motivators Report was designed to increase the understanding of an individual's talents. The report provides insight to two distinct areas: behaviors and motivators. Understanding strengths and weaknesses in both of these areas will lead to personal and professional development and a higher level of satisfaction. The following is an in-depth look at your personal talents in the two main sections: Behaviors This section of the report is designed to help you attain a greater knowledge of yourself as well as others. The ability to interact effectively with people may be the difference between success and failure in your work and personal life. Effective interaction starts with an accurate perception of oneself. Motivators This section of the report provides information on the why of your actions, which with application and coaching, can tremendously impact your valuing of life. Once you know the motivations that drive your actions, you will immediately be able to understand the causes of conflict. 1 Erik Wilson Copyright © 1984-2013. Target Training International, Ltd. Action Learning Corporation 952.445.8604 Greg@ActionLearning.biz
  • 3. Introduction Behaviors Section 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 2 Erik Wilson Copyright © 1984-2013. Target Training International, Ltd. Action Learning Corporation 952.445.8604 Greg@ActionLearning.biz
  • 4. Sales Characteristics Based on Erik'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. Erik becomes highly excited about what influences him. He usually displays this emotion when he is attempting to influence people. Socially and verbally aggressive, he loves to meet strangers and begin conversations. This is a great attribute when new territory is opened, or new accounts are dictated by business conditions. Detail work is not Erik'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. Erik may be seen as somewhat impulsive. He likes new products and often is the first in his neighborhood to buy the latest things. He prefers to sell new, innovative products or services. In fact, he often uses creative ways to sell his products or services. 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. Erik may not answer objections completely. He often treats them lightly and may "tap dance" around the objections or use sales puffery to answer them. He may use sales aids with his presentation. His usage sometimes depends on his ability to be organized; that is, he occasionally forgets to replenish his supply of sales aids or feels he can verbalize the presentation without them. He 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. He succeeds in projecting self-confidence in his sales presentations. This self-confidence evolves from his belief in himself and his products or services. This may cause him to become frustrated if a prospect attacks either him or his product. 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. 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.

  • 5. Sales Characteristics Continued Erik may promise more than he can deliver to close a sale. He does intend to deliver what he says, but he has difficulty finding the time to provide what he promises. His optimism makes him believe he can deliver. 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. Erik's listening skills may cause him to miss some closing opportunities. He may be thinking about what he is going to say next and miss the buying signal. He 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. Erik probably has several favorite closes. He needs to evaluate the way he is using them and if they are appropriate to the sales situation. Sometimes he tries too hard to accommodate the buyer with service. He will resent his effort if the account doesn't live up to its potential.

  • 6. Behavioral Selling Overview The Behavioral Selling Overview reflects Erik's natural and adapted styles within each phase of the Behavioral Selling Model. Erik's natural style reflects his native, intuitive selling behavior. Erik's adapted scores reflect the behavior that Erik believes necessary in each phase of behavioral selling. The level of effectiveness that Erik either possesses naturally or is able to modify or "mask" is also shown. The higher the score, the more effective Erik is at that phase of the sale. The lower the score, the greater challenge Erik has in terms of delivering specific behavior required for success within that phase. The amount of difference between a salesperson's adapted and natural styles is also key. The greater the difference, the greater potential for stress.

  • 7. Potential Strengths or Obstacles to Behavioral Selling Success The Behavioral Selling Model is a scientific, professional selling process. The Behavioral Selling Overview outlines Erik's performance tendencies within each specific phase of the Behavioral Selling Model. Prospecting: The first phase of the Behavioral Selling Model. It is the phase of the sale where prospects are identified, detailed background information is gathered, the physical activity of traditional prospecting is coordinated and an overall strategy for face-to-face selling is developed. In the Prospecting Phase, Erik MAY have a TENDENCY to: Not do a thorough and/or objective job of evaluating the potential of a prospect. Have a great deal of trouble in managing the travel detail and challenges of territory management. Be unrealistically optimistic in appraising the promise, potential, credit and long term value of an account. Work primarily from referrals and existing business rather than run the risk of facing the hostility of rejection from new prospects. First Impression: The first face-to-face interaction between a prospect and the salesperson, this phase is designed to enable the salesperson to display his or her sincere interest in the prospect...to gain positive acceptance and to develop a sense of mutual respect and rapport. It is the first phase of face-to-face trust building and sets the face-to-face selling process in motion. In the First Impression Phase, Erik MAY have a TENDENCY to: Prefer to sell a new account over servicing an old account. This is especially true if the old account has little potential or requires an ongoing supply of detail facts and data to support their continued purchase decisions. Rely on style, dress, interpersonal and verbal skills rather than in displaying a sincere interest in the prospect on a one-on-one basis. Miss verbal and non-verbal buying signals. Adapted Style 100 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 D 41 I 74 S 62 C 34 Natural Style 100 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 D 43 I 76 S 56 C 35 6 Erik Wilson Copyright © 1984-2013. Target Training International, Ltd. Action Learning Corporation 952.445.8604 Greg@ActionLearning.biz
  • 8. Potential Strengths or Obstacles to Behavioral Selling Success Be very optimistic and enthusiastic and is good at generating the same enthusiasm in others. Sometimes his exuberance is what sells his product or services. Occasionally, however, buyers may be offended by his overuse of energized optimism. Qualifying: The questioning and detailed needs analysis phase of the face-to-face sale, this phase of the Behavioral Selling Model enables the salesperson to discover what the prospect will buy, when they will buy and under what conditions they will buy. It is allowing the prospect to identify and verbalize their level of interest, specific wants and detailed needs in the product or service the salesperson is offering. In the Qualifying Phase, Erik MAY have a TENDENCY to: Think in terms of the big picture and to look for big picture solutions rather than specific, detailed solutions to problems. Ask questions that will allow him to proceed with his own agenda. Tune out others and to tune in only to himself. Prematurely jump to the Demonstration Phase, thereby violating the first rule of behavioral selling. May also make his entire presentation in a non-sequential, random order. Demonstration: Much different from traditional "demonstration" or "product presentation," this phase allows the salesperson to demonstrate his or her product knowledge in such a way that it fulfills the stated or implied wants, needs, or intentions of the prospect as identified and verbalized in the Qualifying Phase. In the Demonstration Phase, Erik MAY have a TENDENCY to: Demonstrate things that his product or service will do that may not have anything to do with the prospect's real needs. Use emotion in his sales presentation. This is often coupled with excessive gestures. This could prove to be detrimental with some buyers. They may see him as being too superficial. Oversell or talk his way out of a sale by focusing on irrelevant things. Adapted Style 100 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 D 41 I 74 S 62 C 34 Natural Style 100 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 D 43 I 76 S 56 C 35 7 Erik Wilson Copyright © 1984-2013. Target Training International, Ltd. Action Learning Corporation 952.445.8604 Greg@ActionLearning.biz
  • 9. Potential Strengths or Obstacles to Behavioral Selling Success Not have all the necessary brochures and collateral sales tools available. Influence: What people believe enough, they act upon. This phase is designed to enable the salesperson to build value and overcome the tendency that many prospects have to place little belief or trust in what is told to them. It is this phase of the sale that solidifies the prospect's belief in the supplier, product or service and salesperson. In the Influence Phase, Erik MAY have a TENDENCY to: Stress benefits that are important to him, rather than identifying those that are important to the prospect. Overly rely on friendship to make the sale. Tell the complete story and miss closing opportunities. Overlook asking satisfied customers to help in securing new prospects or to ask for positive letters of satisfaction. Closing: The final phase of the Behavioral Selling Model. This phase is asking the prospect to buy, dealing with objections, handling any necessary negotiation and completing the transaction to mutual satisfaction. In the Closing Phase, Erik MAY have a TENDENCY to: Promise more then he can ever possibly deliver in order to close a sale. He fully intends to deliver what he says, but he has difficulty finding the time to deliver on his promises. His optimism always makes him believe he can fulfill any promise. Not clarify what he thinks he hears when an objection is raised. He needs to follow all objections with a question to clarify what he actually heard and to determine what the prospect is really saying. Be positive and direct with closing questions. Specifically, he will be both friendly and persistent as he attempts to close the sale. Cause objections to be raised if he gets into one of his oversell modes. However, he will welcome the objections and answer them to the best of his ability.

Be dogmatic. Talk down to him. Leave decisions hanging in the air. Be curt, cold or tight-lipped. "Dream" with him or you'll lose time. Drive on to facts, figures, alternatives or abstractions.

  • 13. Selling Tips This section provides suggestions on methods which will improve Erik's communications when selling to different styles. The tips include a brief description of typical people in which he may interact. By adapting to the communication style desired by other people, Erik will become more effective in his communications with them. He may have to practice some flexibility in varying his communication style with others who may be different from himself. This flexibility and the ability to interpret the needs of others is the mark of a superior salesperson. When selling to a person who is ambitious, forceful, decisive, strong-willed, independent and goal-oriented: Be clear, specific, brief and to the point. Stick to business. Give an effective presentation. Come prepared with support material in a well-organized "package." Factors that will create tension: Talking about things that are not relevant to the issue. Leaving loopholes or cloudy issues. Appearing disorganized. When selling to a person who is magnetic, enthusiastic, friendly, demonstrative and political: Provide a warm and friendly environment. Don't deal with a lot of details, unless they want them. Provide testimonials from people they see as important. Factors that will create tension: Being curt, cold or tight-lipped. Controlling the conversation. Driving on facts and figures, alternatives, abstractions. When selling to a person who is patient, predictable, reliable, steady, relaxed and modest: Begin with a personal comment--break the ice. Present yourself softly, nonthreateningly and logically. Earn their trust--provide proven products. Factors that will create tension: Rushing headlong into the interview. Being domineering or demanding. Forcing them to respond quickly to your questions. When selling to a person who is dependent, neat, conservative, perfectionist, careful and compliant: Prepare your "presentation" in advance. Stick to business--provide fact to support your presentation. Be accurate and realistic--don't exaggerate. Factors that will create tension: Being giddy, casual, informal, loud. Wasting time with small talk. Being disorganized or messy. 12 Erik Wilson Copyright © 1984-2013. Target Training International, Ltd. Action Learning Corporation 952.445.8604 Greg@ActionLearning.biz

  • 17. Natural and Adapted Selling Style Erik's natural selling style of dealing with problems, people, pace and procedures may not always fit the sales environment. This section is extremely important as it will identify if a salesperson's natural style or adapted style is correct for the current sales environment. PROBLEMS - CHALLENGES Natural Adapted Erik is somewhat conservative in his approach to solving problems and usually doesn't push potential prospects to make quick high-risk decisions. He will accept challenges by being quite calculating in his response to the challenge. He will be quite cooperative by nature and attempt to avoid confrontation as he wants to be seen as a salesperson who is "easy" to work with. Erik sees no need to change his sales approach from his basic style as it is related to solving problems and challenges. PEOPLE - CONTACTS Natural Adapted Erik is enthusiastic about his ability to influence others. He prefers an environment in which he has the opportunity to deal with different types of individuals. He is trusting and also wants to be trusted. Erik sees no need to change his approach to influencing others to his way of thinking. He sees his natural style to be what the environment is calling for.

  • 18. Natural and Adapted Selling Style Continued PACE - CONSISTENCY Natural Adapted Erik enjoys a sales environment that needs a consistent approach. He will change approach if the new direction is meaningful and consistent with past experience. He enjoys selling quality products that he feels are reliable and dependable. Erik feels that the sales environment doesn't require him to alter the way he deals with activity level and consistency. PROCEDURES - CONSTRAINTS Natural Adapted Erik is striving to be independent and self-directed. He is most comfortable in a sales environment where rules and procedures can be interpreted to meet the needs of his customer in certain situations. The difference between Erik's basic and adapted sales style is not significant and he sees no need to change on this factor.

  • 21. Keys to Managing In this section are some needs which must be met in order for Erik 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 person's basic management needs have not been fulfilled. Review the list with Erik and identify 3 or 4 statements that are most important to him. This allows Erik to participate in forming his own personal management plan. Erik needs: To focus conversations on work activities--less socializing. Documentation of expected sales results. Better organization of record keeping. To handle routine paperwork only once. To relax and pace himself. Bottom-line measurement. Recognition that limits and rules do exist (and why). Help on controlling time and setting priorities. To be informed of things which affect him. To maintain focus on results and not sacrifice productivity just to make everyone happy. Objectivity in managing a sales territory.

  • 32. 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. 31 Erik Wilson Copyright © 1992-2013.

  • 34. Introduction Motivators Section Knowledge of an individual's motivators and attitudes help to tell us WHY they do things. A review of an individual's experiences, references, education and training help to tell us WHAT they can do. Behavioral assessments help to tell us HOW a person behaves and performs in the work environment. This report measures the relative prominence of six basic interests or motivators (a way of valuing life): Theoretical, Utilitarian, Aesthetic, Social, Individualistic and Traditional. Motivators help to initiate one's behavior and are sometimes called the hidden motivators because they are not always readily observed. It is the purpose of this report to help illuminate and amplify some of those motivating factors and to build on the strengths that each person brings to the work environment. Based on your choices, this report ranks your relative passion for each of the six motivators. Your top two and sometimes three motivators cause you to move into action. You will feel positive when talking, listening or doing activities that satisfy your top motivators. The feedback you will receive in this section will reflect one of three intensity levels for each of the six motivators. Strong - positive feelings that you need to satisfy either on or off the job. Situational - where your feelings will range from positive to indifferent based on other priorities in your life at the time. These motivators tend to become more important as your top motivators are satisfied. Indifferent - your feelings will be indifferent when related to your 5th or 6th motivator. Your Personal Motivators Ranking 1st Individualistic Strong 2nd Traditional Strong 3rd Social Situational 4th Aesthetic Situational 5th Utilitarian Indifferent 6th Theoretical Indifferent 33 Erik Wilson Copyright © 1989-2013.

  • 35. Individualistic/Political The primary interest for this value is POWER. Research studies indicate that leaders in most fields have a high power value. Since competition and struggle play a large part in all areas of life, many philosophers have seen power as the most universal and most fundamental of motives. There are, however, certain personalities in whom the desire for direct expression of this motive is uppermost; who wish, above all, for personal power, influence and renown. General Characteristics Erik has a strong desire to be his own person. He surprises others with spontaneous ideas or responses. He experiences a feeling of accomplishment in being recognized for completing a tough assignment in a creative way. Enjoys work and assignments which give him stature in the eyes of others and evokes respect. Prefers to make his own decisions about how an assignment or project is to be accomplished. Brings a lot of energy that needs to be put to good use. Likes to have his own niche; the place where he can excel. Value to the Organization Ability to take a stand and not be afraid to be different in either ideas or approaches to problem solving. Brings creative ideas. Not afraid to take calculated risks. Desires to be an individual and celebrate differences. Brings a variety of different and energetic ideas to the workplace. Enjoys making presentations to small or large groups, and is generally perceived as an engaging presenter by his audience. 15 15 20 20 25 25 30 30 35 35 40 40 45 45 50 50 55 55 60 60 65 65 70 70 40 40 41 42 45 44 THE.

Be open to new ideas Erik may offer, and realize that he may do things a bit differently than standard operating procedure. Training, Professional Development and Learning Insights Attempt to provide enough creative space for him to express his uniqueness. Allow for some experimental or non-routine types of options.

Some values clashes may be reduced if awareness of the needs of others and awareness of the job parameters and protocol are used to govern his high Individualistic behavior. Needs to listen more and speak less. 15 15 20 20 25 25 30 30 35 35 40 40 45 45 50 50 55 55 60 60 65 65 70 70 40 40 41 42 45 44 THE. UTI. AES. SOC. IND. TRA. 35 Erik Wilson Copyright © 1989-2013.

  • 39. Social/Altruistic Those who score very high in this value have an inherent love of people. The Social/Altruistic person prizes other people and is, therefore, kind, sympathetic and unselfish. They are likely to find the Theoretical, Utilitarian and Aesthetic values cold and inhuman. Compared to the Individualistic value, the Social/Altruistic person regards helping others as the only suitable form for human relationships.

General Characteristics Shows an appropriate and realistic approach to helping others, without being an extremist. Has the ability to balance decisions about whether or not to share with and help others. Able to balance own needs against the needs of others, and work in ways that both achieve and succeed.

Recognize that this middle ground between the extremes of selfishness and selflessness may be an appropriate stabilizing force. Erik brings a balance between the extremes of giving and taking with regard to team efforts and organizational competition. Support the strength that he brings in being a balance between those who may give too much away, versus those who may not give enough.

Continuous Quality Improvements It is important to review other Values drives for a more complete look at areas for quality improvement. May occasionally feel conflict as to whether or not to participate in certain service or "giving" activities. Erik should allow space for those who differ on this Social/Altruistic scale, and remember that all Values positions are positions deserving respect. 15 15 20 20 25 25 30 30 35 35 40 40 45 45 50 50 55 55 60 60 65 65 70 70 40 40 41 42 45 44 THE.

  • 41. Aesthetic A higher Aesthetic score indicates a relative interest in "form and harmony." Each experience is judged from the standpoint of grace, symmetry or fitness. Life may be regarded as a procession of events, and each is enjoyed for its own sake. A high score here does not necessarily mean that the incumbent has talents in creative artistry. It indicates a primary interest in the artistic episodes of life. General Characteristics Shows an appropriate and realistic approach to Aesthetic appreciation without being an extremist. The need for and appreciation of beauty is determined on an individual basis and is not generalized in terms of the total work around him. Has an interest in form and harmony, but also understands there may be more important factors when making decisions. Can support and understand the positions of individuals with either higher or lower Aesthetic scores.

  • 42. Aesthetic Keys to Managing and Motivating Remember that he shows a practicality and realism regarding Aesthetic values and positions. This middle ground between the extremes of higher and lower Aesthetic issues may be an appropriate stabilizing force. Check for other Values drives that may be higher or lower than this Aesthetic value in order to gain a better idea of specific keys to managing and motivating. Support the middle ground strength that he brings between various positions on team issues. Training, Professional Development and Learning Insights Explore the professional development insights from some of the other Values scales to determine more specific preferences. He is a flexible participant in training and development programs. Can become engaged in training activities because he sees it as a part of necessary growth and professional improvement.

  • 43. Utilitarian/Economic The Utilitarian/Economic score shows a characteristic interest in money and what is useful. This means that an individual wants to have the security that money brings not only for themselves, but for their present and future family. This value includes the practical affairs of the business world - the production, marketing and consumption of goods, the use of credit, and the accumulation of tangible wealth. This type of individual is thoroughly practical and conforms well to the stereotype of the average businessperson. A person with a high score is likely to have a high need to surpass others in wealth. General Characteristics Since this value's area may help to determine one's money-motivation, the results indicate that Erik may be motivated more by things other than a high paycheck (although that may still be important.) Check the full results and graph to determine those values that were ranked in a higher field than the Utilitarian/Economic area. Erik's score indicates a lower interest in materialistic things, or that he has already achieved a level of material security. While not driven by money, he may be sensitive to perceived inequities in wages and salaries, and does not want to be taken advantage of in that process. Using money or materials as a yardstick to measure or impress others is not important. Tends to be easy-going and supportive of others on the team. Motivated by money to have needs met, but money itself is not a primary driving factor. Value to the Organization Sees a wider spectrum of the picture, not just the economic view. Has a high want, desire, and need to help people. (Internal or external to the organization.) Rarely (if ever) looks at a project with a "what's in it for me?" perspective. Enjoys monetary compensation, but especially enjoys a different type of paycheck: perhaps that of someone saying, "Thank you very much for helping me." Sensitive and responsive to the "people-side" of work related activities. Has an attitude of "We're all in this together, so let's work together." 15 15 20 20 25 25 30 30 35 35 40 40 45 45 50 50 55 55 60 60 65 65 70 70 40 40 41 42 45 44 THE. UTI. AES. SOC. IND.

  • 44. Utilitarian/Economic Keys to Managing and Motivating Needs recognition for innovative, creative work, not just for doing his assigned responsibilities. Provide a variety of work projects or tasks. Remember that "helping hands" behind the scenes are as important as the highly visible ends of a work project. Provide sincere recognition for contributions. Consider the strengths of the "total person" when considering rewards and incentives. Perhaps consider intangible or environmental rewards. Training, Professional Development and Learning Insights Comes to a training or development function typically without a "What's in it for me?" attitude. He may enjoy a more cooperative learning style. Prefers less competition between learning groups. Continuous Quality Improvements Tends to over commit both on and off the job, such as with community organizations, etc. May not hear the "revenue-clock" ticking on some projects. Needs coaching to increase return-on-investment awareness or profit motivation. 15 15 20 20 25 25 30 30 35 35 40 40 45 45 50 50 55 55 60 60 65 65 70 70 40 40 41 42 45 44 THE. UTI. AES. SOC. IND.

  • 45. Theoretical The primary drivers with this value are the discovery of KNOWLEDGE and appetite for LEARNING. In pursuit of this value, an individual takes a "cognitive" attitude. Such an individual is nonjudgmental regarding the beauty or utility of objects and seeks only to observe and to reason. Since the interests of the theoretical person are empirical, critical and rational, the person appears to be an intellectual. The chief aim in life is to order and systematize knowledge: knowledge for the sake of knowledge. General Characteristics Aware of job parameters and details, but prefers to learn only that which is necessary to complete the job assignment. Will learn those things necessary for the successful completion of the job tasks, and may not desire to go further into specific details or theory. May rely on intuition in making decisions, rather than getting bogged down in theory and minutia. May leave specific details of a project to others on the team, and place trust in their coaching and judgment when decisions are made. May prefer to spend his time and energy on tasks other than gaining knowledge about the fine-tuned technical details of products and services. May learn more by doing and observing than in traditional learning situations. May bring a high sense of urgency to the task. Wants to learn and get the job done quickly. Likes to spend time learning things that have a direct impact on what he needs to accomplish as a professional. May prefer to work on many things with only partial stakes, rather than getting bogged down in only one function or role. Value to the Organization May bring a constant sense of efficiency to specific job tasks. Ability to perform many jobs and tasks with little training or assistance. Doesn't waste time on information that is not needed for the task. Focused on the task, goal or vision, and completes his responsibility on schedule. Can get people on board for a cause. 15 15 20 20 25 25 30 30 35 35 40 40 45 45 50 50 55 55 60 60 65 65 70 70 40 40 41 42 45 44 THE. UTI. AES. SOC. IND. TRA. 44 Erik Wilson Copyright © 1989-2013.

  • 46. Theoretical Keys to Managing and Motivating Provide some attempts to reduce the amount of technical knowledge-based requirements. Avoid getting Erik bogged down in minute detail whenever possible. Emphasize the general and big-picture focus on projects rather than the highly technical details. Provide opportunity for independence in performing tasks related to the projects. Offer information that is relevant to the task, but no more. Training, Professional Development and Learning Insights Avoid getting bogged down in academic minutia. Hit only those essential items that relate to increased success or efficiency on projects. Link training and professional development to other areas of the Values graph where peaks occur. Continuous Quality Improvements Has potential for ignoring certain rules, regulations, protocol, or knowledge which is integrally important to the success of a project. Occasionally ignores an important rule, procedure, or protocol in order to expedite processes. Create a balance between minimum details and those details necessary to maintain quality control. 15 15 20 20 25 25 30 30 35 35 40 40 45 45 50 50 55 55 60 60 65 65 70 70 40 40 41 42 45 44 THE. UTI.

  • 47. Motivators - Norms & Comparisons For years you have heard statements like, "Different strokes for different folks," "to each his own," and "people do things for their own reasons, not yours." When you are surrounded by people who share similar values, you will fit in with the group and be energized. However, when surrounded by people whose values are significantly different from yours, you may be perceived as out of the mainstream. If the differences are understood, each brings strengths to the equation. If not understood, these differences can induce stress or conflict. When confronted with this type of situation you can: Change the situation. Change your perception of the situation. Leave the situation. Cope with the situation. This section reveals areas where your values may be outside the mainstream and could lead to conflict. The further away you are from the mainstream on the high side, the more people will notice your passion about that value. The further away from the mainstream on the low side, the more people will view you as indifferent and possibly negative about that value. The shaded area for each value represents 68 percent of the population or scores that fall within one standard deviation above or below the national mean.
