how we solved hiring
Dr. Christopher Croner set out to find a solution to the common problem of selecting sales candidates who perform poorly on the job despite interviewing well. He soon discovered that the best way to evaluate sales candidates was to focus on identifying the personality traits that are common to high-performing salespeople.
And in 2005, SalesDrive was founded. Through the process of reviewing academic literature research and conducting extensive behavioral interviews with sales candidates and successful producers, Dr. Croner was able to derive the revolutionary DriveTest® sales assessment. Which gives companies the tools to find high-performing sales candidates, hire them, and get it right the first time.
non-teachable traits
Need for Achievement is the insatiable desire to pursue excellence for its own sake. Salespeople high in Need for Achievement are self-motivated, set and achieve challenging goals, and are proactive in finding new opportunities. Salespeople with this trait will work diligently and passionately to achieve their goals.
Competitive salespeople desire to be the best and are driven to win. Highly competitive salespeople love to win and hate to lose. They believe that if they do not get to a call first and close the deal, someone else will. This personality trait helps them to handle rejection, pressure and stay focused on their goals to achieve sales success.
Being optimistic is a must in sales as rejection is inevitable. Instead of focusing on the negatives of rejection or taking it personally, highly-optimistic salespeople see the potential in every situation and maintain a positive attitude. This personality trait is vital to staying resilient and motivated, enabling them to close more deals.
