Pre Employment Testing with Sales Assessment Test Outperforms Pre-employment Sales Personality Tests

Online, October 10, 2009 (Newswire.com) - HOLLYWOOD, FL, October 10, 2009 -- The old-style pre-employment Sales Personality Tests and Sales Aptitude Tests often try to disguise themselves as Sales Assessment Tests, which they are really not. Conventional personality tests are "blind" to the impact of a job applicant's experience, sales training and knowledge of sales techniques. The JOY Tests (TM) of Total Sales Ability (TM) do not have this limitation. Businesses can receive 10 FREE Sales Assessment Tests from Dan Joy, Inc. -- http://www.danjoy.com/

For example, a fresh college graduate with zero sales experience and a top producing sales superstar with 25 years of sales experience may both score 85% on a Pre Employment Sales Personality Test if they both share similar personality traits. However, in the real world of selling the sales superstar may outsell the inexperienced salesperson by twenty to one. Therefore, the old pre-employment Sales Personality Tests or Sales Aptitude Tests are often inadequate for hiring top-producing experienced salespeople, and should not be camouflaged as pre employment Sales Tests or pre-employment Sales Assessments.

However, The JOY Tests (TM) of Total Sales Ability (TM) do test for all of the following:

1. Sales Prospecting (Leads Generation) Ability.

2. Appointment Setting, Cold Calling, Rapport and Presentation Ability.

3. Objection Handling and Negotiating Ability.

4. Sales CLOSING Ability and Asking for Payment/Deposit.

5. Cementing the Sale (Re-assuring the Client), and Ability to Get Referrals.

6. Computer/Internet/Email/CRM and Sales Tools Ability.

7. Miscellaneous Crucial Sales & Marketing Abilities (various Secondary Factors such as Personality, Psychology, Skills, Aptitude, Ethics, etc).

8. Sales Team Recruitment Ability.

9. Sales Team Management/Leadership/Motivation Ability.

10. Advertising, Marketing and Public Relations Ability.

The potent JOY Tests (TM) can be used to test Business Development professionals at different career levels, e.g., a Salesperson, Sales Manager, Sales Director or VP of Sales & Marketing. These accurate Sales Assessments can also be used for testing Manufacturer's Reps, Sales Engineers, Distributors and Franchisees.
