Why This Book Is Revolutionary

In a world of sales methodologies that focus on closing techniques and objection handling, SCOTSMAN® stands apart by addressing the single biggest drain on a salesperson's success: pursuing deals you'll never win.

This isn't just another sales book. It's the definitive guide to the one discipline that elite performers master that average sellers ignore—qualification.

5 Reasons This Book Will Transform Your Sales Performance

1. The Science of Walking Away

While other methodologies preach "never give up," SCOTSMAN® provides a scientific framework for knowing exactly when to invest your time and when to walk away. This isn't about pessimism—it's about being strategic with your most valuable resource: time.

2. Decode the DNA of Top Performers

Top salespeople win 70-80% of their deals while average performers win only 30%. After studying thousands of elite sellers across five continents, Dermot Bradley has codified exactly what these top performers do instinctively so you can replicate their success.

3. The Revolutionary 0-1-10 Scoring System

Transform subjective opinions into objective business decisions with the SCOTSMAN® 3-way qualification system. Identify potential showstoppers early—before investing months in doomed opportunities—and know precisely what work is needed to win.

4. The Critical Bridge Between Prospecting and Closing

Most training focuses on finding opportunities and closing them. SCOTSMAN® addresses the crucial decision in between—determining which opportunities deserve your attention. Without this discipline, even exceptional prospecting and closing skills are wasted.

5. Battle-Tested in the World's Most Competitive Markets

Refined through decades of consulting with organisations like IBM, Xerox, AT&T and hundreds more, the SCOTSMAN® methodology has proven its effectiveness across industries from technology to manufacturing to financial services.
