Sales aptitude tests should be a key component of every sales hiring process. With our sales assessments, you can be sure you’re getting the best candidate for your sales team.

INCREASE SALES WITH SALES APTITUDE TESTING

Salespeople are meant to sell, but not everyone is cut out to do it.  You can teach or train people to sell, but if they don’t have the right sales skills and character, they’ll never sell as well as other top performers sales professionals. Sales aptitude tests help you create a stronger sales team that sells more products faster. Few people are sales superstars on day one, but people who have a natural talent for selling take less time to train and can spend more time in the field, generating even more revenue for your business. Selling is a specialized skill, but it’s not always easy to see it in candidates. By requiring them to take sales personality tests, you’ll discover who’s right for the job, how they can improve, and who’ll help your business grow. Using a sales skills assessment test can mean huge improvements in your sales department.

MORE OBJECTIVE AND ACCURATE HIRING

A sales aptitude test can be a great equalizer, a way to compare candidates who are similar in other ways. Resumes don’t often tell the whole story. By utilizing sales aptitude tests, you can scientifically determine which sales people amongst a group of sales candidates are the best fit to join your sales team. Since sales skill sets can be costly for a company to develop, it is important to know from the start what specific sales skill sets a sales candidate apart. Sales assessment tests are especially helpful when you’re interviewing new or relatively inexperienced sales people. They don’t yet have a strong sales record, but they may very well have what it takes to grow and eventually succeed in a sales position.  If you want candidates who already have the behavioral style and core strengths you’re looking for, a sales aptitude test will help you find them.

WHY DOES SUCCESS PERFORMANCE SOLUTIONS OFFERS SO MANY DIFFERENT SALES TESTS?

When it comes to peak sales performance, you can’t take a cookie-cutter approach.  Sales hunters are wrired differently than sales farmers. The #1 salesperson selling consumer items in the local retail mall may not have the sales skills, experience, or competence to sell business services in a corporate environment.  Strategic consultative selling requires a more comprehensive sales strategy and sales process than local retail sales. Different skills and traits like persistence, resilience, and grit may be required to negotiate a long selling cycle compared to more the quick transactional sale. Lead generation in a mature market is different than lead generation when you’re a start up selling an innovative solution. And sometimes selling has nothing to do with sales skills but fit within the company culture. Finally and increasingly important, keeping up in a fast-changing world often means that the right sales aptitude and sales skills depends more on the ability to learn fast and think-on-your feet (cognitive skills) than years of experience. That’s why Success Performance Solutions offers multiple sales aptitude test solutions for the best hiring decisions that lead to the best sales results.  This is why clients consider us the experts in online sales assessment.
