- Industry: Sales Benchmarking-

"The sales people I’m recruiting are not aligned with our business strategy and are not meeting their sales targets."

We understand how you feel when it comes to sales performance. The top 20% of a sales force sells 80% of the business and every sales manager is trying to clone the top 20% by understanding what they do differently compared to average and low performers.

Studies show that successful sales performers selling new business have some or all of the following qualities:

• Enormous drive to succeed despite challenges
  
  
• High energy and the ability to multi-task successfully
  
  
• Ability to cope with a heavy mental workload
  
  
• Ability to quickly engage their personality with others and build instant rapport
  
  
• Strong independence and persistence to stick with the program until they succeed
  
  
• Tackling the sales process with urgency
  
  
• Good reasoning skills to be effective in complex sales
