Sales Aptitude Profile (Sales AP)

The Sales AP  measures  key  competencies  that  can  lead  to  employee  success  in  sales  positions. The  Sales  AP  can  help organisations  identify  the  best  people  for  their  sales roles  while  also helping  individuals  reach  their  sales  potential.  When  used  as  part  of  a  comprehensive  selection process,  the  Sales  AP  can  help  minimise  the  cost  of  training  resources  and  lost  customers associated  with  poor  hiring  decisions.  When  usedfor employee  development,  the  Sales AP  can help identify strengths and opportunities for development in sales-related competencies to help employees leverage their strengths and increase the likelihood of success in their role.
