Selling Skills Assessment Report Selling Skills Assessment Report

The feedback report that each respondent receives  includes a customized "skill graph" indicating key selling strengths, and highlighting important development opportunities in 20 skill categories.

 

There are many reasons why this selling skills assessment is unique, including the quality of the training resources which are directly linked to the assessment results. The feedback report provides detailed development planning tools and resources for each of the 20 skill categories. It is designed to help every salesperson develop new skills and strategies to drive superior sales performance.

 

The goal is to help your "C" performers become "B" performers, and your "B" performers become "A" performers.

 

 

 

This assessment of consultative selling skills was developed specifically to be a coaching tool to help sales managers focus their performance improvement activities, and to help individual salespeople in their self-coaching efforts.

Upon completion of the assessment, a salesperson receives immediate feedback regarding strengths and skill development opportunities. Numerous training resources are available to begin training immediately, targeting the areas identified by the assessment.

For example, if an individual scored low in the areas of prospecting and asking strategic questions, these could be addressed immediately through e-learning courses, audio CD, individual coaching or onsite workshops - using the Facilitation and Coaching Guide.
