Salesperson Performance Evaluation Tools

to Help You Manage Performance Discussions

and Identify Individual Development Needs

The assessments discussed on the Sales Assessment Tests page of this website measure an individual's talents. This is because strengths and weaknesses in specific talents are the best predictors of future sales performance. But, what do you do when you are not satisfied with a salesperson's performance, regardless of what their assessment results say about their talents?

This is when perceptions about the salesperson's performance can be a valuable addition to any performance-related conversation. Here are some important questions that can help prepare you to identify and leverage perceptions to improve individual salesperson performance:

  • What are your perceptions of the salesperson's performance of specific sales-related behaviors?
  • How do your perceptions compare to the salesperson's perceptions of their performance of these behaviors?
  • Where are your perceptions and the salesperson's perceptions similar?
  • Where are they different?
  • How can this information be used to develop an action plan to help the salesperson improve his/her performance?

Facilitating this type of comparison, plus facilitating the development of specific action plans for improving salesperson performance, are the twin focuses of our unique survey tool. This survey (which is completed by both the salesperson and the salesperson's manager) delivers compelling information in three different levels of detail, all of which are specifically related to sales performance:

  • 7 Universal Sales Competencies
  • 19 Key Skill Sets
  • 79 Behaviors

If you would like to explore how these tools can help you manage salesperson performance discussions and identify individual development needs, please contact us. We will be happy to schedule a no-obligation telephone conversation, during which we can review a sample report and discuss survey pricing.
