What are the Sales Competence Assessment and Sales 18?
Do you want to hone your sales skills and take your sales career to the next level? Our Sales Competency Assessment is the perfect tool for identifying your strengths and areas for improvement when it comes to sales. In this post, we’ll explore the key elements of our Sales Competency Assessment and look at how it can help you achieve your sales goals.
Experience and knowledge:If you have sales experience, we’ll look at what you do and how you can further refine your skills. If you’re new to the world of sales, we’ll focus more on your motivation and mindset.
Willingness and motivation:With Sales 18, we assess your willingness and motivation across 18 different areas. This includes how motivated you are to take the initiative and reach out to potential customers, for example by making a phone call. Your intrinsic motivation is crucial to achieving success in sales.
Sales skills cover many areas
Sales skills cover a wide range of areas, including outreach, initial sales and upselling. To become a skilled salesperson, it is essential to develop both the ability and the willingness to master these areas.
Skills:This section covers your knowledge, experience and skills. Having a solid background in sales is a clear advantage, as it provides you with the tools and techniques you need to succeed. You gain knowledge, for example, by reading a specialist book, and you gain experience by putting it into practice. And with knowledge and experience, you develop your skills.
Mindset:Underlying the 18 evaluation areas are 12 areas related to your mindset. Your attitude and mental approach play a crucial role in your sales work. We therefore strongly recommend these tools to anyone working in sales management.
Expressed and latent needs
During the Sales Competence Assessment, we take into account both the explicit and implicit needs of your customers. Understanding what your customers want—and also what they may not clearly express—is crucial to tailoring your sales strategy and delivering value.
We also look at your ability to manage both short-term and long-term goals. Sales is not just about immediate success, but also about building lasting relationships with customers and creating long-term value.
