Episode Description

Christi Civalier was crushing it in sales and making half a million a year, but something was missing. Deep inside she knew there was another level of selling she had yet to reach. 

She felt stuck in her career, and had hit a ceiling.. 

Five years ago, while I was still working at Salesforce, she started messaging me whenever I posted on LinkedIn, asking to work together. At the time I had no capacity for 1:1 coaching, and told her to stay patient until I launched my coaching business. When the first cohort of Untap Your Sales Potential opened, she was the second person to sign up. She still calls herself an OG.

We coached together for three years, which turned out to be the best years of her career. She mastered executive selling, and consistently closed large, transformational software deals. She had so much success in the program, that I asked her to coach on my team as a side hustle.

Then her clients started seeing similar results. One of her clients just closed a $34 million deal. He got there because Christi talked him into walking away from a smaller deal he had been chasing for months, which freed up his time and attention to go find a much bigger deal! She found coaching so fulfilling that she decided to quit Corporate Sales entirely this year to coach full time. 

Christi’s story is inspiring and powerful. She's 59 years young, and a single mom to two teenage daughters. She’s the breadwinner in her house, and walked away from a lucrative sales career to follow her passion and make an even bigger impact in the world. She just finished writing a book, which will be released in a few months. 

In this week's podcast, Christi shares how she reinvented herself and how she now coaches sellers to do the same.

We discuss:

  • Why successful and stagnant is such a dangerous place to be 
  • What she learned at Untap your Sales Potential, and how it helped her reach the next level of selling
  • What the million dollar earners actually do differently with their time
  • Why she left a successful sales career at 59 and started over
  • The book she's writing, Identity Under Pressure, and who it's for

If you look successful on the outside and feel stagnant on the inside, I strongly encourage you to watch this entire episode.

If you have ever told yourself it's too late to become the person you know you could be, this might be the exact story you need to hear today.
