Most people talk about success like it is a place you arrive at. Hit the number, ring the bell, celebrate the win. Then what happens? The target moves. The pressure resets. The chase begins again.
This way of thinking keeps sales teams trapped. It turns success into a high stakes game of monthly survival rather than a predictable path you can repeat and improve.
There is a better way to define success, and it is one that top performers rely on every single day. It is simple, it is powerful, and it will disrupt the way you think about your own growth.
Sandler calls it the Success Triangle: Attitude, Behavior, and Technique.
This is not theory. It is the operating system behind sustainable performance.
Attitude: The Foundation of Every Win
Success begins long before activity. It starts with the mindset you carry into every conversation. Growth mindset, optimism, possibility thinking. When you believe you can improve, you take actions that reinforce that belief. When you do not, you hesitate, you avoid, you stall.
Your attitude determines your altitude. If that sounds familiar, it is because you have lived it.
Behavior: The Engine That Drives Predictable Outcomes
You can have the best attitude in the world, but without consistent behavior, nothing moves. Success demands a plan and the discipline to execute it. Not perfect behavior, but repeatable behavior. The right activity, at the right time, done more often than not.
Salespeople do not fail because they cannot sell. They fail because they do not follow a system.
Technique: The Craft You Commit to Mastering
Great salespeople are not born. They are made through practice, refinement, and continuous learning. Technique is where curiosity meets skill. It is the willingness to keep leveling up your strategies, questions, and conversations.
In a marketplace that changes daily, adaptability is not optional. It is the advantage.
Success is a Journey, Not the Final Chapter
This is the part many people forget. Success is not the moment you hit the target. It is the process that gets you there. When you enjoy the process, you stay in the game longer. When you treat life and career as a learning adventure, you grow without limits.
The question becomes: Are you chasing success or building it into how you operate each day?
If you want different results in 2026, start by redefining what success looks like.
