What Our Happy Clients Say

“I read the book: Never Hire a Bad Salesperson Again by Dr. Chris Croner after having it recommended to me by a successful business owner with over 1500 employees. It was so good that I personally reached out to Dr. Croner to ask more questions. Hiring is a skill and I was never formally trained on how to effectively qualify top salespeople. I can tell you that I averted thousands of dollars in lost resources by not hiring specific sales candidates through the use of the DriveTest® tool.”

“Recruiting for any role in a growing company can be a significant challenge but recruiting salespeople is likely the most challenging. SalesDrive and Dr. Chris Croner provide a level of insight and partnership that I haven’t seen matched elsewhere. Not only is the tool excellent so is the partnership and advisory you get when you work with SalesDrive. We have definitely been able to improve our overall hiring process by working with SalesDrive.”

“Qvinci Software is a high-growth SaaS company. It is challenging to identify high potential sales professionals who can effectively communicate with both technical and financial buyers. The DriveTest® has proven to greatly increase our ability to select the right candidates, avoiding the lost opportunity cost associated with hiring those who don’t produce to expectations. I highly recommend the DriveTest® as a powerful hiring resource.”

“I love SalesDrive! My previous SVP introduced me to it at my previous company and I have since implemented it in two other companies I have moved to. This is a great tool when you are building or scaling out a sales team. The people and hires are the most important decisions we can make, and this test empowers us to do that. We have been able to elevate the current team I oversee and top grade with talent!”
