In this video, Dr. Chris Croner discusses how you can raise your revenues by hiring salespeople who consistently crush their competition, and avoid getting burned by candidates who say all the “right” things in the interview but never live up to your expectations thereafter. Watch the video now to learn his secrets for hiring high-performance salespeople.
What is Drive?
Drive is the collection of three core personality traits that successful salespeople share: Need for Achievement, Competitiveness and Optimism. Studies show high-performing salespeople are high in Drive but the critical issue most people miss: Drive cannot be taught.
So you must determine which of the candidates who have applied for your open position are high in Drive, or everything else that follows… interviewing, hiring and training… are time and money wasted.

3-Step Approach to Hiring Top Sales Talent
1. Administer Sales Personality Test
All of your candidates will tell you they can sell; The DriveTest® will show you the truth about who really will sell.
Apply The DriveTest® before the interview, to ensure you are interviewing only high-potential candidates, saving you time and money.
2. Conduct The Drive Interview®
Use The Drive Interview® to reinforce the Drive factor along with your own, favorite interview techniques.
The DriveTest® report provides interview questions specific to each candidate based on his/her unique score. These questions are designed to probe deeper into a candidate’s sales skills.
3. Hire Better Salespeople
Those candidates that pass The DriveTest® and The Drive Interview® are great possible new hires for your company. Now you can hire the best fit, high-Drive salesperson for your company with confidence.

Most personality tests are broadly developed for general usage, and then interpreted for salespeople. The DriveTest® has been developed for salespeople only.
Most salesperson assessment tests measure teachable skills, but teachable skills are moot without the non-teachable personality trait, Drive, to use them. We measure both, but start with the non-teachable aptitude including: Need for Achievement, Competitiveness and Optimism.
Sales personality tests are great, but when combined with a related behavioral interview they are even better. The DriveTest® and The Drive Interview® deliver both. This combination is critical to your hiring success.
What Our Clients Are Saying
Since partnering with SalesDrive, it has unified our metrics & standards in our recruiting process across our national footprint. The DriveTest® allows our training team to execute with a higher level of performance because the DriveTest® allows us to choose candidates with the unteachable characteristics, & that is Drive. In fact, our new hires outperform veteran reps, consistently quarter after quarter & we attribute a portion of that to hiring the candidates that have something inside of them that can’t be trained, & that is Drive.

If you are looking to eliminate the fluff riff raff and just interview and hire the most Driven of all candidates, I highly recommend getting on board with SalesDrive and Dr. Chris Croner. As a manager and mentor of salespeople for over 30 years, I can honestly say that Dr. Croner made my life’s work of searching for the Top Performers a lot simpler.
