DISC for Sales
Professionals____________________________
Improve
morale, performance, and retention by matching people to
jobs. Establish 'ideal' behavioral style
characteristics as selection considerations.
The
requirements of every sales job are not the same. Some
require forceful assertiveness, others demand strong people
skills, some need a high level of
patience, or great attention to details. Most sales jobs
need a combination of
these personality traits.
The DISC
for Sales Professionals Report gives you a complete picture
of on the
job behaviors you can expect from every sales candidate.
By completing the
Work
Environment Profile for your sales position,
you create accurate style descriptions of your
ideal sales candidate. This profile is a
vital part of the DISC for Sales Professionals
selection process and is included at no extra fee.
The work environment for most jobs can best be described in
terms of behaviors. If the job could talk, what
behavioral characteristics would it ask for? When you
match behavioral style to the job, the person is at
their best in that job. When they do not, tension may
affect job performance and retention.
Identify candidates who possess the ideal combination of
personality
traits you are seeking.
The
DISC-SALES Report provides the basic foundation for
identifying sales candidates' behavioral style and training
salespeople to make quality sales calls.
A high level
of motivational energy is one thing; what a person is
motivated to do
is another. Current research in the
United States and Europe shows clearly that
high performers
share one common internal motivator - a strong Utilitarian
attitude. Statistically. those with strong Utilitarian
attitude make lots of sales and those without it don't,
unless they receive special incentive.
Hire
candidates who are genuinely motivated to sell.
Learn special techniques to motivate your current
salespeople.

Skills Assessment) ___________

tests that reveal the sales skill levels of your sales
candidates.

strengths and areas for improvement.

that results in positive behavior change. These surveys can be
customized to your specific needs.
The
ultimate appraisal process. People are rated anonymously by peers, associates, and
subordinates of their own choosing, which produces results
with maximum credibility.
Traditional
appraisals often do not result in changed behavior because
the subject
will not accept (believe) the rater's scoring.
When people they respect and trust, who are perceived to be
friends, tell them the truth, they believe it, and act on
it!
Improve
attitude, performance, and retention when people truly but
in.
Increase levels of trust, respect, morale and productivity
within your group.
DISC
Assessments for Other Positions____________________
The requirements of every
job are not the same. For example, the ideal traits
for
an executive position are very different from those required
for a technical representative. The person you are
looking for in an administrative capacity
might differ
greatly from a person you would want to hire to do customer
service.
Some positions require forceful assertiveness, others demand
strong people skills, some need a high level of patience, or
great attention to details. Most jobs need
a combination of
these personality traits.
This unique report can be
customized so that you can use it to identify the
desirable
traits of people suited to virtually any position you are
trying to fill.
By
completing the Work Environment Profile for your position, you create accurate style
descriptions of your ideal candidate. There is no
additional fee for this profile.
There's lots more
valuable information to help you in assessing each candidate
as
you can readily see in the Sample DISC Reports that follow:
Manager/Staff version and Executive version.

traits you are seeking.
