For years, sales success followed a familiar formula: work harder, stay later, answer emails faster, grind longer. And for a while—it worked.
But for many high performers, especially women in sales and leadership, that model eventually breaks down.
Burnout rises. Anxiety increases. Results plateau.
In a recent episode of Superhuman Selling, Elyse Archer sat down with Christi Civalier, a transformational coach and enterprise sales leader who’s closed over $400 million in B2B revenue, to explore a deeper truth:
Sustainable sales success isn’t created by effort alone—it’s created by alignment.
One of the biggest myths in sales is that more hours equals more results. Christi shared how she once believed success required 12-hour days, constant email monitoring, and being “always on.”
What she discovered instead?
Selling from exhaustion disconnects you from intuition, creativity, and presence—the very things that close deals.
When sellers operate in reaction mode, they lose their power. When they sell from alignment, everything changes.
Most sales training focuses on tactics. Christi focuses on identity.
She walks clients through an exercise called Old Personality vs. New Personality, helping them identify subconscious beliefs that keep them stuck—fear of asking for the order, discomfort owning their expertise, or needing validation from outcomes.
You can’t bring an old identity into a new level of income.
As Christi puts it:
“We can’t take dirty laundry from one vacation to the next.”
When identity shifts, confidence becomes embodied—not forced.
One of the most tangible takeaways from this episode is how Christi helps clients reclaim time without sacrificing results.
Her rule is simple:
If you can manage your calendar, you can manage your income.
By prioritizing:
Revenue-generating activities
Family and personal commitments
White space for strategy and creativity
…clients often realize they can get their work done in 4–5 focused hours a day, instead of spreading stress across twelve.
Many professionals live parallel lives—one person at work, another at home, another with friends.
That fragmentation is exhausting.
Christi’s Be It Now Framework helps clients integrate every area of life so they’re no longer performing different versions of themselves.
When who you are is consistent everywhere, selling becomes simpler, cleaner, and more powerful.
At the heart of this conversation is a powerful truth Elyse emphasizes often:
When you sell to fill a void, nothing is ever enough.
When you sell from wholeness, results flow.
By blending neuroscience, energetics, strategy, and quantum principles, this episode offers a new paradigm for sales—one rooted in presence, intention, and trust.
If you’re ready to stop grinding and start selling in alignment, this conversation is your invitation.
