Four Essential Skills for Sales Success

The recent turbulence in our industry may be unprecedented, but one of the keys to surviving this volatile market is a "back to basics" approach. Success for any company is dependent on whether producers possess the fundamental skill sets they need to excel.

Our research indicates that top producers consistently excel in four areas:

  • Planning
  • Prospecting
  • Mastering the point of sale and
  • Forging long-term partnership relationships with both clients and referral sources.

When a manager sees lack of prospecting, poor closing technique or other problems, it can be difficult to determine the exact cause. The Professional Sales Development Survey (or PSDS), helps managers pinpoint the root cause of poor sales performance and how to coach to remedy the problem.

Testimonials

"The assessment has saved us a lot of money by weeding out people who interviewed well but didn't fit the job. We're also not wasting time training individuals who are never going to work out. The test has really been a safety net for us." — Brian Leavitt, Branch Manager, Arbor
