\n

Sales has changed significantly in recent years. Buying cycles have become more complex, interactions now span digital and face-to-face channels, and customers expect greater personalisation, expert guidance and added value.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

In this context, what truly identifies a high-performing sales professional?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Experience and sector knowledge remain important. Yet lasting performance also depends on the ability to understand others, build trust, handle objections effectively, adapt to different sales contexts and remain engaged when facing commercial challenges.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Personality assessments provide useful insight, although they do not always measure the behaviours and competencies specifically associated with success in sales.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Sales Profile 2<\/strong> was designed to address this challenge.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

This new generation of sales assessment identifies the strengths, performance drivers and development areas of sales professionals, whether they are at the beginning of their career or highly experienced.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Sales Profile 2: a sales assessment grounded in real-world situations<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

Few tools currently assess an individual\u2019s sales potential accurately through situations that closely reflect those they will encounter in practice.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Developed from the expertise of occupational psychologists and professional assessment specialists, Sales Profile 2 applies a modern approach to measuring sales competencies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

The assessment presents participants with situations inspired by today\u2019s sales environment, including prospecting, needs discovery, objection handling, negotiation, client relationship development and results orientation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

This approach analyses the sales behaviours that have a tangible influence on performance.
Sales Profile 2 therefore provides a comprehensive view of sales competencies, together with the behavioural and interpersonal dynamics that support success in sales roles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Its Sales Potential Indicator identifies a candidate\u2019s overall sales potential through a multi-factor analysis model combining several key dimensions of performance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

In recruitment: identify the sales professionals best suited to the role<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

Recruiting sales professionals remains a major challenge for organisations. Beyond a convincing CV or a positive interview, it can be difficult to anticipate a candidate\u2019s genuine ability to perform consistently in a sales role.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Sales Profile 2 provides objective insight to support decision-making.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

The assessment identifies the behaviours, competencies and performance drivers most relevant to the target role.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

With clear, directly actionable results, recruiters, sales managers and HR professionals gain a structured view of each candidate\u2019s strengths and potential development areas.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

How can Sales Profile 2 be used in recruitment?<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

The assessment can be used independently or as part of a broader assessment process. It helps determine how well the candidate\u2019s characteristics align with the specific requirements of the role.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

For example:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
