Tests for evaluating sales managers

Have you been looking for a sales manager, specialist in the commercial department, or a sales representative for a long time? You know what professional and personal qualities a good salesperson should have, but you don’t know how to check it? Want to learn about the competence of your company employees? Are you planning staff training to increase sales?

Search, selection of candidates, testing of knowledge of working managers is not an easy task for a business owner and hr specialists. Indeed, in each niche of trade - its own nuances. For example, in b2c and b2c, not only the products themselves are different, but also the sales models. Therefore, standard tests will not help to fully evaluate the professional skills of the seller, they will not help to identify errors in the work and they will not tell you how to fix them.

Marketing mix specialists organize various types of testing: from interviews during interviews to complex business games.
