The width of the bars in the graph shows approximately what percentage of time each step should take in the sales process. Furthermore, each bar indicates how much time a sales person should be listening (black) versus talking (red).
Integrity Selling® is designed to produce lasting behavior change. After participants are introduced to the sales process in an initial six-hour training session, the concepts and behaviors are then reinforced over the course of eight weekly follow-up sessions. This follow-up format ensures lasting results and continued growth. Integrity Selling® can be implemented by The Integrity Team, Inc. or we can certify your trainer or sales manager to conduct the program.
Values and Ethics of Integrity Selling®
- Selling is an exchange of value.
- Selling is not something you do to someone, it's something you do for and with someone.
- Understanding people's wants or needs must always precede any attempt to sell.
- Develop trust and rapport before any selling activity begins.
- Selling techniques give way to selling principles.
- Integrity and high ethics are accepted as the basis for long-term selling success.
- A salesperson's ethics and values contribute more to sales success than do techniques or strategies.
- Selling pressure is never exerted by the salesperson. It's exerted only by prospects when they perceive they want or need the item being sold.
- Negotiation is never manipulation. It's always a strategy to work out problems ... when the prospects want to work out the problems.
- Closing isn't just a victory for the salesperson. It's a victory for both the salesperson and the customer.
In order for a person to be highly successful in sales, there are five dimensions in their life that must be in congruence with each other. These areas include: view of selling, view of abilities, values, commitment to activities, and belief on product. Integrity Selling® helps bring these dimensions into congruence so people feel freed from inner conflicts and are able to increase their achievement drive and overall performance.
The AID,INC® system involves the following steps:

Four Traits of Highly Successful Salespeople
1. GOAL CLARITY
- Have specific goals or objectives of what you want to sell, earn, accomplish, gain, achieve, or possess.
- The more clearly defined a goal is and the more focused a person is on achieving that goal, more effort, energy, and achievement drive will be released to accomplish it.
- Have a clear mental target. When goals are clear and written they are usually realized.
2. ACHIEVEMENT DRIVE
- Achievement Drive is the desire or drive a person has toward the attainment of goals. People with high Achievement Drive usually will bring more effort, energy, creativity and enthusiasm to their personal and professional lives.
- Achievement Drive is released from within an individual, rather than poured in from the outside.
- Achievement Drive can be increased.
3. EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
- Emotional Intelligence is the ability to monitor and understand one's own emotions and to act wisely in human relations. It is emotional stability and steadfastness.
- Emotional Intelligence defines a person's ability to work well with others, deal with problems and ambiguities, stick to the tasks, be self-motivated and remain optimistic about work and life.
- High Emotional Intelligence gives a person stability, stick-to-itiveness, and mental toughness.
