CHALLENGER STYLE
The Challenger Sale has become a popular sales methodology. It places salespeople in five unique styles based on the skills and behaviors they use when interacting with customers and prospects. SalesFuel HIRE will tell you which style fits each candidate best.
JOB FIT SCORING
Are they a good fit for the job — or perhaps another opening in the company? SalesFuel HIRE measures Natural Job Fit scores for 10 types of positions in the typical sales department. Scores are based not only on the sales assessment test (sales competencies required for the job), but also mindset and the candidate's entire profile.
COACHABILITY
Will your future 1‑on-1s be productive in making the salesperson better or frustratingly ineffective? Can a B candidate be developed into an A player? SalesFuel HIRE measures each candidate's Natural Coachability, plus their receptiveness to coaching in four key areas.
SalesFuel HIRE BEHAVIORAL ASSESSMENT TOOL
One assessment only gives you part of the story.
SalesFuel HIRE profiles use 3 psychometric assessments to reveal who your potential employee really is.
C players may be a good fit for the job, but high-potential salespeople have Four Fits.
SalesFuel HIRE's comprehensive Candidate Profiles help reveal their Four Fits™ (or lack thereof.)
Job history tells you where they've been. Mindset tells you where they're going.
Behavioral Assessment
What energizes your candidate? Making things happen? Attracting people to them? SalesFuel HIRE measures behavioral tendencies like these for each candidate. It also reveals how they act when under the stress of a deadline or demanding customer.
Motivators Assessment
What motivates them to take action? Money? Independence? Power? Helping others? SalesFuel HIRE uses a unique assessment from behavioral mastermind Steven Sisler to show you which of the 7 primary motivators drive each candidate.
Empathy + Decision Making
Will they exaggerate the positive or overlook the negative? Do they have empathy for others? Are they escaping their old job? SalesFuel HIRE reveals how candidates are likely to make decisions on the job and whether they aspire to survive or thrive in your company.
Workplace Behavior
Will they bring their 'best selves' to work… or something else? SalesFuel HIRE's Work Tendencies will show you what you're likely to get when the chips are down, measuring 15 commonly-desired characteristics among high-performing salespeople.
Toxic Employee Warnings
There are 13 types of toxic personalities among salespeople that, if hired, can drain the time and energy of their manager, the morale of their co-workers, and eventually, the finances of the company. SalesFuel HIRE acts as an early warning system that flags the candidates that pose the highest risk.
SalesFuel HIRE TOXIC EMPLOYEE WARNINGS

SALES HIRING RESEARCH+INSIGHTS
In today’s COVID-19 economy, EVERY sales position counts! The good news is there has never been a deeper pool of talented salespeople to choose from in the past 10 years. The bad news is there have never been more toxic salespeople on the market. Is your hiring process geared for the unique challenges of hiring the right salespeople? During this webinar, Lee will share the latest research on sales hiring and insights from his new book Hire Smarter, Sell More!, including: The mindset of top sales performers and what to look for in the hiring process and the ”Four Fits” that should determine your top finalists.
