Psychometric Count
About the assessment & Usage:
Often organisations & business owners find that newly hired sales managers fail to live upto their expectations due to poor strategies and poor team performance. Sales managers know what they are supposed to do due to their experiences, but they can’t seem to pull it off; atleast not to the level at they were expected to.This is mainly due to selection of the ‘wrong fit’ which is an increasing concern for the HR Department. A right blend of skills and personality traits, suitable to the sales position is pivotal for any sales team to perform effectively. Skill is something to be trained while trait is inherent. Even the best interviewer may find it difficult to uncover the hidden weaknesses that will impede a salesperson’s performance. Distinguishing and identifying one’s competency through one’s skills and traits is an art and some experienced sales people can hoodwink the interviewer as they are able to charm someone into liking them.
This is where the assessment tool comes into play – by revealing one’s traits / skills from which one can infer whether the prospective employee is the “right or wrong fit” for the concerned position.
How is BODHI’S SALES FIT (MANAGER) Profiling different from others?
Close scrutiny of most personality assessment tools available globally will reveal that each personality is put into a straight jacket irrespective of their variable scores. A classic example would be the classification of the highly Extrovert and moderately Extrovert personalities – both fall under the “Extravert” tag and carry the same reports as their scoring have no bearing on their traits. On the other hand, we radically differ with the above outcome as we have experienced dissimilar traits in them although the above both are ‘Extrovert’. Extra version is one of the preferred traits of a salesperson irrespective of position. With these crucial points in mind, BODHI’s skilful artisans have deftly crafted an assessment tool with multiple usages.
