About This Service

Sales performance varies more widely than performance in almost any other functional role — and much of that variance is explained by fit. We apply validated sales assessments to measure the traits, behaviours, and approach that genuinely drive sales performance.

Where This Typically Breaks Down

  • Charismatic sales hires who struggle in the actual rhythm of the role.
  • Sales teams with wide performance variance and no structured explanation.
  • Sales leaders developing everyone against the same generic framework.
  • Repeat hiring mistakes in specific sales role types.

What This Service Focuses On

Applying validated sales-specific assessments to measure an individual's fit to a particular sales role — hunter, farmer, inside sales, key account, technical sales — and their likely behaviour across the sales cycle.

Who This Is For

  • Sales leaders hiring into front-line and key account roles.
  • B2B and B2C organisations with measurable variance across their sales teams.
  • HR and talent leaders building structured sales selection practice.
