Take This Sales Skills Assessment

Discover Your Strengths And Weaknesses

In sales you are giving a performance, and you have to be at your best. Can you give your best on command? Do you know how you come across in a sales environment? How proficient are you across the wide variety of selling situations in which most professionals have to operate? How would you rate yourself on the many sales tasks that don't involve being face to face with a customer?

This sales assessment tool will quickly provide you with the big picture in your selling skills. It will help you begin to identify your strong points, reveal your needed development areas and provide a focus for any coaching session. It will also serve as a launching point for understanding how the sales coaching process will unfold. This assessment is very simple and easy to complete, and should take you around 5 minutes.

If you've hired me as your sales coach, please fill out this form and press the Submit button at the end of the assessment to email this back to me before our first coaching session. You may also use this form for your own self-analysis, to begin working on your selling skills.

Here's how to complete the following 66-item Sales Skills Assessment.

1. Review this list of selling topics and select the number 1 next to the items that seem MOST important and URGENT to you to be WORKED ON FIRST.

2. Select the number 2 next to those that seem NEXT most important to work on.

3. Select the number 3 next to those that seem to be in the THIRD TIER of importance.

4. Leave a blank space next to those which DON'T seem to be important now, or at all, or which DO NOT APPLY to you.

5. Select the QUESTION MARK (?) next to those with which you are unfamiliar and would like clarification.

6. If there are any areas or concerns you would like to address NOT LISTED here, please enter them in the Questions or Comments section at the end of this form.

7. Please be sure to print this page after you have entered your responses and BEFORE you click the Submit button, so you'll have a record of your responses. I have found that repeated review of this assessment is quite helpful in allowing you to continue to see new sales skills vistas.

Here we go with the assessment.

P.S.: Once you submit this assessment, and hire me to begin sales coaching, I will send you our other in-depth, proprietary, 212-item sales skills assessment, to help us pinpoint the exact issues and reasons that are holding you back from peak performance in your selling. As part of the sales coaching process, that 212-item comprehensive assessment carries no additional charge. From these two assessments, and based on our initial phone interview, we will create a master sales skills strategy to bring your selling dreams to reality.
