About the Sales Style Assessment

Sales success is often about personality and fit.

We all have unique styles of engaging with our customers and prospects.

Some of us are consultative, and some of us lean towards transactional or product selling.

There’s no doubt that BOTH are required to be successful. Read more in detail here.

The assessment uses simple yet impactful questions that cover a wide spectrum of topics for consultative selling style maturity.

It also comes with detailed analysis and profile benchmarking with others in your industry. That helps you with insights into your style.

The assessment shows where you are on a 2 dimensions:

1. Consultative
2. Product Led

The questions allow you to capture the perceptions of multiple stakeholders if you are doing it for a company. Then you can conduct a workshop to see why these stakeholders have differing views – a very powerful alignment technique.

Potential Enhancements

Unless you are just using this for lead generation on your website, you can and should customize the template when you use it for specific clients.

Here are some changes you could make to the sales style assessment template.

1. Group questions into dimensions. Then you can add more questions inside each dimension and make the assessment more comprehensive.
2. If you have specific services and offers, and know the detailed context of your clients, use checkbox or radio button questions instead of a slider. That will allow you to be more objective and position your services better.
3. Add your own description of what the rating bands mean.
4. Add your own feedback text for each dimension and question to explain what the scores mean
5. Add profile fields to divide your audience by function (technology, operations etc.) and role (CIO, CEO, Product Manager, architect, analyst etc.) – an excellent way to see the differences in perception and drive alignment
