In the past several years we’ve been obsessed not just with how sellers should sell but with helping them execute. We’ve been working with our clients around the globe to implement a variety of strategies to drive motivation and execution, and help teams perform at the highest levels through The Productivity Code.
For our Extreme Productivity research, we studied 2,377 business professionals to find out which work habits and hacks, when applied in what combination drive not only productivity, but top performance versus peers, job satisfaction, and happiness. Through this global study of sellers and non-sellers alike, we have both validated and honed the Productivity Code Model and Productivity Assessment tool.
And we learned some surprising differences between how The Extremely Productive work compared to The Rest.
We found surprisingly strong relationships between productivity and job performance, job satisfaction, happiness, and how people spend their TIME. The Extremely Productive (The XP) are significantly more likely to be:
The Extremely Productive are also much more likely to spend their TIME on Treasured Activities (time they hold dear) and Investment Activities (time that generates outsized returns).
Can you imagine being a top performer, while also being happy and spending the time you want doing the things you love? This makes a strong case for becoming one of The Extremely Productive.
Through our research, we've boiled down what extremely productive sellers do into 3 keys, known as the Productivity Code.

Those who do reach the level of The XP are significantly more likely to be happy, satisfied with their jobs, and top performers.
The #1 thing the XP do? They hold themselves accountable for what they say they will do. Accountability came up repeatedly in our research. While there are many behaviors The XP exhibit that drive their productivity, you can get started simply by improving your accountability to yourself and to your team.
We set out to uncover what the most productive people do to manage themselves, their time, and their priorities—and how others can learn to do the same.
