The Science of Sales Excellence
SCOTSMAN®
The Science of Sales Excellence
Our Heritage
Innovation Born from Experience
Dermot Bradley
The SCOTSMAN® story begins with a powerful insight from Dermot Bradley.
Starting as a systems engineer at IBM, moving through sales and management to training at both IBM and Xerox, he noticed something crucial: while companies meticulously planned solution implementations, they rarely applied the same rigor to winning the sale itself.
His guiding principle was simple yet revolutionary:
Be first past the winning post or first out of the race!"
This philosophy transformed into SCOTSMAN® qualification and Commitment Selling, now trusted by the biggest B2B organizations worldwide. The approach proved so effective at driving predictable revenue growth that we founded SCOTSMAN® Methodology Ltd.
