The Sales Success Profile® measures selling skills, not personality. Selling skills are trainable, however, it is important to know what level of skills you already have and what areas you need to learn to become more skilled. View a sample feedback report below.
The Sales Success Profile® is a 50 question multiple-choice sales skills test that measures 13 critical skills.
The test is available in an online-response format sent by e-mail.
Test respondents are compared to over 300,000 other salespeople. The
test report provides a graphic analysis, a narrative report on each
skill area and recommended individualized training tips, so productivity, skills and profitability
are improved.
The Sales Success Profile® took over 5 years to develop and validate. The
Sales Success Profile® is used by thousands of companies in United States, Canada, Great Britain, Australia and New Zealand. Now you have the opportunity to use this profile yourself and obtain the knowledge that many leading industries are using.
Attention Sales Managers, Owners and Salespeople! Here are three of the primary
uses of the Sales Success Profile®:
Hire Salespeople that
Know How to Close
They seem nice enough, but, can they sell? Will they get out and prospect
for new customers? Will they manage their time productively? Do they know how to
close? Will they close aggressively? Are they burned out? Can they handle
rejection? With the Sales Success ProfileŽ you get the answers, and more, before
a costly hiring mistake is made.
Help Salespeople Out of Selling Slumps
Nothing could be worse! Your top salesperson is in a slump, and you want to
help. You have no idea what the problem is. Most of the time, your salesperson
does not have a clue either. Where do you start? What questions do you ask? Do
you threaten or issue ultimatums? Do you encourage? Do you train?
The Sales Success ProfileŽ gives you practical, precise information that
pinpoints the cause of a sales slump. The profile gives you the power to pull a
salesperson out of a slump and cure an ailing sales career.
Give Dynamic, Focused Training Sessions
The Sales Success ProfileŽ helps you identify those sales skill areas that
indicate an opportunity for growth. For example, the profile may show that a
majority of your sales team needs help in Prospecting and Cold Calling. You can
now target your next sales training meeting to focus on this specific skill. The
Sales Success ProfileŽ gives you the power to lead your sales team to produce
measurable results.
The Sales Success Profile® rates each respondent in these thirteen skill areas :
Approach & Involvement: Can you personally approach and involve a prospect in a positive manner? Are you alienating the prospect before you have a chance to present the product or service? Are you being too aggressive, or are you a non-aggressive person?
