Identify Strengths/Aptitudes and Key Developmental Opportunities of Your Sales Team and Organization

Most sales assessments focus on general tendancies or personality, but personality and sales success aren’t strongly related. No particular personality is strongly correlative for high performance in sales. There are great salespeople all over personality chart. They exist in every quadrant because there are people to sell to in every quadrant. Selling to any style is done better by similar styled salespeople. Personalty based assessmentsj just don’t provide much sales success predictability.

Also, many sales orgs don’t believe they can assess sales ability… look at salespeople as artists, with mindset “If you get results, whatever you create is good.” hiring good people has been ouija board activity. Hiring mgrs have image in head of good sp, what think on outside makes good sp… in interview we like and connect with them and think they’re a great sp–>try them out…results sporadic.

Understanding what team needs to work on to get better results is also often elusive. lack common vernacular for discussing variations in beliefs, habits, best practices. Since don’t have vernacular to discuss, hard to assess …id who is or isn’t exhibiting or believing in a way that best going to accelerate sales

Rather than blindly throwing coaching, consulting, training, etc. at a company, use scientific ways to have real, deep actionable picture of what spl and mgrs struggling with and what best at/strengths. and org tools structure, support mechanisms that are or aren’t helping them.
