The Benefits of a Sales Team Assessment

Discovering the Strengths and Weaknesses – By conducting a sales team assessment, a business can identify areas where its sales team is excelling and areas where improvements can be made. This information can then be used to create a plan for training and development that will help the sales team become even more effective.

Objective View of Sales Performance – A sales team assessment is that it provides an objective view of the team’s performance. This is important because it can be difficult for managers and team members to accurately assess their strengths and weaknesses. By using a structured assessment process, a company can get an unbiased view of its sales team’s abilities.

Identifying Roadblocks – A sales team assessment is that it can help identify areas where the team is struggling. For example, if the assessment shows that the team is having difficulty closing deals, then the company can focus on providing training and support to help the team improve in this area.

Frequently Asked Questions

CEOs, Sales VPs, HR, Learning & Development, Sales Enablement, M&A, and Private Equity to name a few. 

Before making major decisions every doctor does an MRI or engineer does a root cause analysis. A sales team assessment is the equivalent for your sales organization. The sales team assessment evaluates your sales organization; your reps, BDRs, account managers, sales engineers, sales managers, and sales leaders in the context of your sales systems, processes, and strategies, providing you with the data needed to make crucial decisions. Our sales assessment will identify the issues, what needs to happen, how long will it take and what’s the expected ROI.

Here are a few of the common frustrations CEOs and Sales VPs express to us every day.

  • Can we get more appointments?
  • Can we shorten our sales cycle?
  • Can we close more deals? 
  • How do we help our people hit quota? 
  • How do we increase our revenue, margins, or market share? 
  • Can we improve the effectiveness of our sales teams? 
  • How do we improve the mindset of our sales organization? 
  • How do we go from a transactional sale to a consultative sale? 
  • Can we hire stronger reps?

The challenge is what we call, “Hidden Weaknesses.” Let’s pretend your CFO says the salespeople are discounting too much. So you hire a company to come in and do negotiation training. They have a good reputation and do a great job. But, six months later the CFO isn’t seeing any improvement. Why? Could it be the salespeople…

  • Don’t have the skills to uncover the value? 
  • Have the belief they need to be the cheapest to win? 
  • The sales process set them up for negotiations? 
  • They are uncomfortable discussing money so the prospect lacks conviction in the solution? 
  • Their pipeline is thin so they are desperate for the sale? 
  • Something else? 

This is where a sales team assessment would have identified the real issue so you don’t waste time, energy, and resources addressing the symptom.

We do this by measuring 21 core sales competencies which fall into four buckets: Will to Sell, Sales Beliefs, Sales Skills, and Sales Process. We also measure 20 core competencies of sales managers that fall into three buckets: Will to Manage, Sales Manager Beliefs, and Sales Manager Skill which includes selling skills and the ability to coach, motivate, and hold reps accountable.
