Sales Assessments
Know what your salespeople can do before you invest in them.
Objective assessment of sales capability, behaviour and role fit — so hiring, training and promotion decisions are based on evidence instead of impressions.
- Evidence before investment
- Role fit, not personality labels
- Findings that convert into a development plan
The challenge
Most sales decisions are made on impressions.
Who is promoted, who is hired and what gets trained are usually decided on visibility rather than evidence.
Interviews reward confidence
The most convincing candidate in the room is not always the most capable seller.
Training by assumption
Budget spent on a topic the team may already be strong in.
Promotion by number
The best seller is promoted into management with no read on coaching ability.
No baseline
Without a starting measure, nobody can prove what any intervention changed.
Why clients work with us
Assessments that tell you what to do next,not just what someone scored.
Five reasons leaders trust our assessments.
Sales-Specific Benchmarks
Built on selling behaviour and motions, not generic personality profiling.
Role And Motion Fit
Scored against the cycle, buyer and role you are hiring or developing for.
Individual And Team Views
Each person's gaps plus the capability pattern across the whole team.
Actionable Development Plans
Every report ends in a prioritised plan a manager can run this quarter.
Comparable, Bias-Reduced Evidence
One consistent standard so hiring and promotion decisions can be defended.
Our approach
The Simpli5Sales approach to assessment
Assessment is only useful if someone acts on it, so every report ends in a decision.
- 01
Define success
Agree what good looks like in this role, motion and market.
- 02
Measure against it
Competency, behaviour and role fit assessed against that definition.
- 03
Interpret with context
We review results with the manager, not just email a report.
- 04
Turn it into a plan
Findings convert into a hiring decision or a development path.
