“Fix My Sales Team!”

If we have heard this once, we have heard it 100 times from exasperated business owners and sales managers who cannot figure out why their key players are not performing to expectations.

But there is a dilemma embedded in the plea “fix my sales team.”

That is, the sales team cannot be “fixed” if it is not composed of the right athletes: people who are born to sell.

Over 80 years of research and experience tell us that while certain core competencies like confidence, persuasive skills, and even charisma can, indeed, be developed.

But, there is one innate characteristic that sits at the heart of it all: Drive.

And Drive cannot be learned. People either have it or they don’t.

Research also shows that Drive is one of the toughest traits for interviewers to rate, and one of the easiest traits for candidates to fake. To make matters worse, many sales managers hire based on gut instinct. Thus, they are severely disappointed later.

It is, therefore, incumbent upon business owners and sales managers to use a test for Drive, through the combination of our sales profile test and focused interviewing, before a candidate joins the organization. The stakes are enormous. Poor candidate decisions can cost a company millions of dollars, sometimes resulting in the failure of the business itself.
