CORE Competency

What the Sales Assessment Test Measures

Six empirically validated competencies that separate consistent quota-hitters from candidates who look good on paper. Every score is benchmarked against our 3M+ professional validation database.

Persuasion & Influence

Measures the candidate's ability to build compelling cases, adapt messaging to different buyer personas, and drive purchase decisions without pressure — the core engine of consistent deal closure.

Achievement Orientation

Evaluates the drive to set ambitious targets and persist through rejection. Candidates who score at or above the threshold demonstrate the competitive hunger that separates average reps from top performers.

Resilience & Adaptability

Tests emotional durability under repeated rejection and the ability to pivot strategies when conditions shift — critical for sustaining productivity across long sales cycles or high-rejection environments.

Customer Centricity & Active Listening

Identifies candidates who genuinely orient toward the customer — identifying unstated needs, building trust, and prioritizing long-term relationships over short-term wins to fuel retention and upsell revenue.

Negotiation & Closing Skills

Measures structured ability to anchor on value, handle pricing objections, and create urgency — the skills that directly translate into conversion rate and average deal size improvements.

Time Management & Territory Planning

Assesses disciplined prioritization of prospects and accounts — ensuring candidates can maintain pipeline velocity while allocating time to high- value opportunities across territories.

Simple Process
